Bass Pro Shops coming to The Point in Sayreville

[hofnodinstructor]

Just got Basspro catalog in the mail and it listed AC and Sayerville as new stores. I buy local whenever possible and bait will always be necessary. I wonder how many rods and reels are sold locally and what percentage of the local shops business is in tackle.I doubt that many local shops can afford to floorplan every rod that St. Croix,G.Loomis, or 10 other companies make. I would love the opportunity to check out all the tackle out there that these catalog stores offer. Certainly these big stores like Walmart, Sams Club, Home Depot have put a lot of small shops out of business but they also employ hundreds of people--not such a bad thing in this economy. The good thing about living in the United States is that we still have the freedom to shop where we want to--big or small.
