Dick's Sporting Goods what are they thinking
Have a Dicks 50 miles from us. fishing department is small. I think most shopped at for other sports. The flash sales they have are a joke just like the fishing department. Same stuff same price over and over

Stranger things
once fishing my favorite lake which everyone gets snags in i got caught up on one for the third time. I wasnt going to lose this one. A guy in a boat next to me saw i was not giving up, had a lure retriever better than mine. after several trys we thought his hung up but up came the snag, a tree branch with 5 good lures and 1 rusty one, one being one of his. being a sport i gave him his back for helping me.

Poor Rod Packaging
obviously no one on here orders rods from Dicks after reading all the bad things about them. If getting them for free maybe but if not cant feel sorry for broken rods. Shame on them that are buying rods frome them

baitcaster right or left retrieve
Went to Bass Pro to look at baitcasters and the old guy suggests to everyone he talks to get a left retrieve reel. I currently use right and use left on a spinning reel. Whats your guys opinion or what do you use

Casting
I watched a guy this summer casting and spinning to trees along the shore. He was on the spot 9 out of 10 times. When leaving i asked him about his casting and he said it was all in the wrist. I thought I was going to die laughing but he was serious.we went to the bank and he cast 2 time with each casting and spinning telling me first what and where he was throwing at. Hit all 4 times within 6 inches.

The latest sale thread
I think the future trend for Bass Pro will be private label and smaller discounts.stopped at my closest one 60 miles away to look at reels as i need to replace a couple hopefully with future sales. This year most of my money went to online rather than BassPro as they were out the first day of spring sale and did not restock. Asked several questions to the only guy there and he knows less about reels than i do
