Ya the mega stores will probly have some bargins but i have found that if u shop items u use everyday Fluoro,terminal,hooks. u will find similar pricing in brick an mortar stores.its up to the consumer to be educated on pricing.As far as the cutting edge there are tackle shops like SWE an M&D's an internet sales from guys like Joe (RISC) that u will not find in Bass pro.I really think they have little or no idea what a hardcore surfcaster needs they just carry everything an hope it crosses some line the shopper might cross.Like St.Croix rods IMHO I really don't think that that company should even bother with the surf end of saltwater fishin they really have no clue.So if ur thing is savin a few penny's on some storm baits that a bluefish will render useless in a millisecond go for it.Me I will still spend the majority of my cash at the corner tackle store.I got a gift certificate for cabela's last yr for christmass I still haven't figured out what to spend it on there's to much stuff.I did see a new bunk for the tour bus that I will probably get.Maybe a light gore splash top.I think they are ok for that kinda stuff..
