Give me the M & D's, the Belson's B & T, Blackbeards and Nelsons and all the rest.......one trip a year to the big places is fine but the small shop gets all my dough cause they care!
Yeah, Cabela's may be fine for a large rod and reel selection and maybe some other goodies like waders and such, but you can't beat the really good B&T's out there for their selection of plugs and overall service.
but I would still love to go to a Cabela's store just to see it.
I love to go and look at all the gear and take advantage of the superstore's ability to offer low prices. BUT... I wonder how many smaller shops will become extinct with the arrival of Cabelas in New England. I know the world has got to change, it's just a shame when the smaller guys can't compete anymore.

I really don't think a Cabelas would carry the kind and quality of stuff most guy's look for like your B&T stores carry. For the novice, I could see where the big stores could take away the business.
No question that they do not provide the service of the small stores.....but I still read my cabelas catalog like its a book....plus they have all those awesome mounts to check out.
