#^&#^&#^&#^&s Sporting isn't bad in MD... I once went to a local shop that runs by a Gallaudet University football coach and a 9 ft stilstar and a 7 ft stilstar combo sets and the 7 ft sucked at casting. The reels aren't great. However, the 9 ft I have now is good for chunking and it costs me $65. But the line tend to coil itself sometimes when I make a cast. I was thinking that the guide of the tip might has something to do with it. I would go to Sports Authority and Wal-Mart for cheaper stuffs like plugs, hooks, leaders, terminal tackles, waders, and combo sets. I didn't buy a lot of new rod this year. I got my breathable wader and it wasn't hodegeman or orvis, but it's cheap and reliable for me now. No leaks though and it comes with a mesh bag and can be used for putting eels in.

Local shops are what I like most. Information, prices, quality equipments, and customer services are what I look for. Let it be smal or big. Besides, they know their stuffs better than those guys at Wal-Mart. But the crappy part is that some of them close for the season when winter hits.
