Member Removed Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Not sure if you've heard of Basspro (www.basspro.com) the US based tackle retail chain. With the price of the dollar against the pound it's certainly worth a look. They have some real bargains (reels, rods, line, lures etc.....)

Guest fish finger Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 When I went over they had a sale on rapala plugs in World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada, Florida. It is a huge tackle shop the size of a large supermarket stocking almost any fishing tackle you could imagine and is also a Bass Pro outlet. They even have a large fish tank on show containing bonefish, tarpon, permit, grouper etc. Needless to say I spent hours looking in there! I wonder if a tackle shop on that scale would be successful in the UK. They were cheap as well! The plugs were reduced to $3 and that worked out at less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
