Re: Fins & Furs Closed Down .......
Has anyone tried looking for a local hardware store lately? Fishing and hunting stores are at a premium for sure. Retailing has taken on a whole, new chapter. Sure, you can buy stuff online or in a major, national sporting goods store. But, where do you buy information, advice, know-how, techniques? Sportsmen's shows? YouTube? This forum?
While the fishermen on this site are great, it's not the same as going into a fishing tackle store and having your questions answered or reels serviced or rods repaired or even given advice about where to fish. Where would anyone go if they wanted a record fish weighed in?
These are some observations and perhaps a call for help to the tackle industry to help us average fishermen to keep fishing and to encourage more people to pick up a rod and reel and fish.
