WTF, not ever going to stop growth and "competition", but I don't relish the thought of a few more "Big Boy's" in the state.

I think the bottom line is that local tackle shops sell more than "product" - education, guidance, expertise, caring, and so on, and when that is good and helpful most of our customers, when given the choice, will continue to purchase the "common" product from the local shops.
