Who cares wal-mart is evil and doesn't really carry anything of quality concerning fishing equipment either. Support your local tackle shops beacasue they are there to support you unlike giant corporations such as wal-mart who could care less as to whether or not you leave satisified

My sister works for Walmart as a pharmacist. She just recently started to come out of the pharmacy and start to get to know her fellow employees. She was shocked that they are all on poverty level living
in hotels owing thousands of dollars of credit card debt.

I told her a while ago Walmart has a room full of people trying to figure out how to get rid of the pharmacist. She is the highest paid person in the store. She laughed at me.

Well after Katrina Wallworld ran a pilot down south using 1 pharmacist to several stores by video cameras. She believes me now.

I hate walmart, for everything, not just fishing. Yah they have low prices and stuff, but customer service is horrible, the employees are not comitted to their work because they are not paid enough. I would much rather go to a bunch of local shops and get what i need. I think i have only bought one piece of fishing equiptment in the past year from them, and it was those Plano clear plastic thing that fit into my tackle box (I have about 20 of them, i think im addicted to plugs.)

I'd just say support your local tackle shop, they know what theyre talking aobut and are usually more than happy to explain (in detail) any product they carry.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Just like all the big shots do!!

I remember we had some really nice electronic stores back in the day!!
RatShack came to town, put everyone out of biz!! Then after the mom & pops were gone they raised prices and carried less!

Wallfart will do the same!! And we the people are to blame for falling into there trap ! Shame on us.

It's not so simple as "bad Walmart, good local Mom & Pop."

My Mom was a Navy wife and she used to tell me stories about being passed over at the deli line until after all the townies were waited on. They would not even look at her.

You'd feel less bad if you understood how bad the mom & pop stores we're screwing you all those years.
