Penn

When you start talking about Walmart as opposed to small retailer like MIKECC and the other tackle shops the unfair disadvantage there is that Walmart calls PENN and says we want this many reels and this is what we are going to pay you for them. End of discusion. I first heard of this tactic mentioned while talking to a PLANO rep. Walmart placed the order and PLANO shipped for exactly what Walmart was willing to pay. The funny thing about Walmart is the prices there aren't any less than they are at any of the local small shops and in fact a better deal can be had at the small shops most of the time. Find somebody to help you at Walmart. I always get a kick out of the parking space at the Halifax Walmart thats reserved for the employee of the month. I'm wondering which employee is paid enough that works for Walmart so they can afford to park a car in the emloyee of the month parking space. Buy your gear from a company that pays taxes in Massachusetts and supports the comunity.

And watch out for the dune monsters!
