Thumbs up Support your local tackle shops!

And here is why. I went to Atlantic Bait and Tackle the other day. Pete offered me a cup of coffee and a bagel. Sat to talk to him for a bit. A guy and his son walk in holding a Penn battle 4000 and a plastic bag. He had dropped the reel that morning and broke the entire bail assembly off the reel. He was leaving for the Keys the next day and knew he couldn't get it repaired in time for the trip. Pete goes in the back, grabs a new 4000, swaps spools, takes his name and number, and tells him to enjoy his vacation. Point is, you couldn't get that over the Internet or from Bass Pro. These are the guys that provide you with knowledge, suggestions, fishing reports, fresh bait, and customer satisfaction. Please support your local, brick and mortar tackle shops!
