Went to Bass Pro for the second time yesterday, had been once before right after it opened and their saltwater fishing section was terrible, but it was at the end of the season and I figured they'd step it up a bit come spring. Evidently not, they didn't have any of their house brand rods I'd wanted to check out, the selection of saltwater-appropriate reels was sparse, the terminal tackle section was a joke, and the range of lures they had wasn't even comparable to what you would find at #^&#^&#^&#^&s or even Walmart (they didn't even have Bombers!). The freshwater section is great (about 6 aisles of soft plastics), and I did pick up a few spinnerbaits, but I won't even bother to go there for any saltwater gear in the future. It's too bad, they carry so much great stuff online, but none of it at the store. Maybe they don't realize the size of the saltwater fishing market around here.
