Have to say that I would always prefer the local B&T experts to a big box retailer ... whether it's Surfland B&T, M&Ds, Saltwater Edge, King Cove ... and the local Web site and catalog guys like RI Saltwater and Surfcaster ... these guys have what I want, are great to deal with, usually are looking out for my best interests ...

... no disrespect to the big box retailers, but I will do what I can to stick with and support my local dealers ... without exception, as it's more than a lure (the lures I want to buy are not usually available at big box locations), but also the experience of hanging out with friends.

I was in the Cabelas store in Hamburg PA last week. I asked the manager of the fishing department if the store in East Hartford was going to have special saltwater products because it is the first store in New England. He said he did not think so. He said there is demand in his store for surfcasting gear and plugs. He has called the main office I think in Nebraska several times and asked for permission to carry certain products and he was told no. So he is fustrated. I think Cabelas will be great for waders and long underwear and gold bombers but I don't think the local guys we buy from will get hurt too bad.
