I went once and enjoyed petting the stuffed skunks the most. The decorations were the coolest part of the place. I saw nothing I wanted that I couldn't get at a mom and pop for a better price. There is a large men's clothing section, though, which may be interesting to some. Oh! And the cool lighting at the bathroom so it looks like you're underwater! Yeah, the place is all sparkle and no substance. But I like sparkly things. Caw!

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

local shops
There is nothing like going to the same local bait shops. After a few years it becomes like the barber shops of old. Support the local B & T's. the prices may be a little higher, but the quality of the product is worth it.

This is a good thread. These super tackle stores are something else. Had a similar experience in Cabela's in Hartford. Went with a friend, we were looking for info on trolling motors. Not one person knew anything. He's since gone back multiple times and still not any real service.
They got tons of stuff, unfortunately its marketed better in their catelogs.

It took #^&#^&#^&#^&'s a few years before they started stocking good salt water (especially New England oriented) gear. I agree, it's pretty shy of good saltwater items and I'm with everyone about supporting your local B&T.
What's even worse is trying to buy a shotgun (or any firearm) there. The guns are not arrainged in any order and it takes the guy behind the counter a long time to find something you may be interested in. You can't hold 2 guns and compare (Mass. law). So I gave up and finally went to Maine to buy my most recent shotgun (Kittery Trading Post).
Bass Pro is great for freshwater and okay for camping gear, but I wish the Cabelas had come in instead.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
