Just, remeber - Decathalon is a French company
. But that's OK, I try not to buy from them, SA, & #^&#^&#^&#^&s either...
They just put up a #^&#^&#^&#^&s Sporting Goods in Warwick. I checked it out when I had some time to kill. I walk in to the fishing "Emporium" and 1st thing I see is a rack of St Croix rods - hey this might actually be an improvement! Then I saw the reels and prices - just like SA, they carry the same stuff - a couple models of ABUs the Corsairs and Calcuttas, and the line of Penns which on average seemed 15-20% higher than what Mike sells them for.
There were some interesting things but the prices were generally high and I saw few good deals. I did see some interesting lures that are new to this area but it was basically a bigger and slighlty more rounded out version of SA. Not as good as the local shops I go to.
I also saw that Berkley Iron Silk Line - it was like the cable you would use on Suspension Bridges! It was not soft at all...
