I went in with the bride a couple weeks ago. Lots of stuff for freshwater, hunting, and a marginal supply of saltwater stuff. Saltwater stuff
we would typically use. I saw some stuff I expected to see and thee are a couple things I've been wanting to try but had not ordered online.
Some prices were good and some were no better than expected. Only one wooden vendor at the time - Gibbs.
All in all I may pop in from time to time but after the initial overwhelming of being in the place I'm sure 90%$ of my shopping remains where it is now. And should you want to drop $200 on the reel that is $210 at the local shop - ask the local guy to match or even split the difference for $205

Probably right the more I think about it - especially as people will road trip from all over seeing that until now the closest were Harrisburg/Baltimore/western NY...

They had a fair selection, slightly better than what a #^^^^&s or SA would have as they did have some St Croix stuff. As usual, not a SINGLE one of the Ugly Sticks I checked out was splined right - NOT ONE!!!! Some other decent "cheap" surfstucks were there.
