I have always liked Sportsmans selection, but again, price has not been something I would list as a net positive for some time. Sadly, I don't know how a smaller, local shop can compete with the buying power of a giant like that. Customer loyalty and a willingness to support local businesses is the only hope, but too many of us will still likely follow the best price and selection.Yup I'm probably guilty of that, I try to stretch my dollars as far as I can... Wish I had plenty so cost wasn't an option, but unfortunately I have to watch where every dollar goes... So for big purchases, I'm sure I'd be watching for a great deal to show up, which usually would come from a Reed's, Cabela's or FishUSA type sale... Day to day items though I'd support a smaller local store, but it's probably hard to make a living selling jigs and bait... Later Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
