you have to remember that service has a cost also.the local guy will run rings around those big companys everytime when it comes to service.sure you might
save a few bucks on the boob tube but try getting a black and purple bomber
at 6am delivered to you on the beach in the middle of the most insane bass bite you ever saw.

Good Luck Rich and Bob! Shopped there from the beginning. I think it was a perfect storm of regs, the web, and the big box stores, then Sandy took a chunk both in business and their residences. Only time I went elsewhere was when didn't have it. Thanks for all the years of service in the middle of a hot bite at 2AM.

Bad real estate deal he did in the keys killed him. Put him in a whole the shop could not get him out of.

As a member of the Jersey Coast Shark Anglers (JCSA), I am saddened to see the closing of Reel Life. Rich has always been generous to our events, providing door prizes for our tournaments, as well as rigs and other good fishing things for our Kids Tournament, and Ladies Tournament. Without his input, and the generous gifts from Kevin Bogan, George from Crystal Marine, Tony Maja, and others, we would not have had the draw to our events.
Try to get some help in these areas from the on-line eBay companies, and big box stores. It won't happen.
Thank you Rich, and you have a good life, with best of health. Papa
