Looks like the there will be less choices now

BPS has the best lure choices for sure. I spend at least $500 there a year and more in years I need a new reel(~$150) like this year. I buy waders about twice a year and boots once. Landbigfish isn't bad for fishing stuff. Amazon also has pretty much anything I need as well.

The consumer is the loser. These two big players competed with each other to the consumer's benefit.

Mail order from Cabelas just increased 7% given Bass Pro has a retail presence in NJ.

Time to consider other net retailers without a NJ retail location; these retailers will be at a 7% advantage, all else being equal.

Does anyone buy from Tackle Warehouse during their sales?

They do 15% off EVERYTHING in stock. no restrictions on products on sale, and they have sales during all major holidays.

I just bought a minn Kota Ulterra for $1606 when reg price is $1900 and daiwa lexa for $212.

Also, Tackle Direct is in south Jersey and does a lot of business online, with up to date product stock numbers. if you need baits quick and don't want to spend money on expedited overnight shipping, buy from tackle direct- I usually receive baits next day here in Wayne.

I use both, John. Tackle warehouse carries great stuff!

I just hope places like behre, hi way and dows stay in business... we need herring, shiners and fat heads! Just sucks knowing they can't make a living selling just bait.
