I personally purchase very little from any box store , only as last resort. Until this internet ruled the world most of us learned fishing techniques from ur local sporting goods store of choice .
That kind of info still exists & it's certainly worth the couple of extra bucks u may pay for a product to get what u need not what's on sale.
Some believe everything demonstrated on the Internet is the final word on tackle or techniques , some accurate but remember that in most cases is displayed second hand.
Sometimes just some Internet personality that really has very limited background & u could be taking this guys word to the bank . In my opinion ur local tackle shop would not steer u wrong , simply because they really value ur business & many instances will save u money in long run by selling u what u actually need !
Once their gone like ur corner drug store ur on ur own!!
