Rhode Island Tackle Shops
Who do you think runs the best shop in RI? Has the best selection? Appreciates their customers (read not crabby)? I've been thinking I should start patronizing the shops near where I fish more often instead of the Mega stores like #^&#^&#^&#^&'s.

Although the selection is not that of the shops in the West Bay of Rhode Island, I have always been treated very good and usually has what I am looking for. I think they need to get involved with some plug makers though, they lack any custom stuff from what I have seen.

You should patronize the S-B site sponsors. Saltwaters Edge and Surfcasting Rhode Island.  |

Saltwater Edge has about the best overall selection around that I've seen.I tend to patronize all the local shops.It really depends on where I'm fishing at on any given evening.I very rarely ever bait fish and since most shops other than the Edge don't carry much in the way of plugs I really don't step foot into the local shops on a regular basis.90% of the plugs I have I've accumulated right through this board.

I can't remember the last time I bought something at a big box store. Between M&D's, SRI, CMS, Buckos and SWE I'm pretty much covered.

Wildwood Outfitters has probably got the widest lure selection I've ever seen, a friendly staff, and a very good custom plug section. They even carry plugs made by some of the local builders. Plus, if they don't have something you're looking for they'll make a special order for you.

I intend to do just that. 
I also wanted to find some in other areas that I wouldn't otherwise know about. |

As for other sponsors; don at KingCove just over the Westerly line in Stonington is a good shop, and I hope to have a new sponsor shop to announce soon  ... Obviously, SWE has some nice stuff and if you don't need a "shop", S-RI...
As for non sponsors, I like Q.L. but their prices are high a lot. I do use Ericksons in Warwick when I need somethign close to home. Good people... |
