Basspro Website

[Member Removed]

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.....)

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
