Who normally has the better in-store casting rod selection DSGs or GMnt?

IMO Gander has more of a selection, however DSG usually has a handful of the newest high end rods on the market, but not many of them. I have also noticed that depending on your "local" DSG selection varies. Some DSG's that I have been to had Loomis rods and Shimano Stella reels, other stores have had mostly field and stream rods and reels.

I would say Gander Mountain for sure....at least in my neck of the woods.

It depends on how many other tackle stores are in your area. Where I am at Dicks is the only "tackle" store (until the gander mtn opens across the street next month) so they tend to have a lot nicer rods such as g loomis, higher end st croix, and i have even seen a couple cumaras pass by. So if there is no real competition in your area i would say dicks otherwise it would almost always be gander

The DSG in my area has a horrible selection of rods, ofcourse there is a BPS about 5 minutes down the road. No GM so I cannot comment on that so I completley agree with what Jon G posted above.

In my experience, and I've been to both, GM has considerably more rods.

Sorry I can't help you on this one.  I haven't been in a big box store in many years.

well if i had more local shops or they had more rods in their selection id probably go that route but they dont hah

Gander mt in my area for sure, unless you count field and stream (which I believe DSG owns) then I'd go with f&s/ DSG. Buy gander has *** plus all the other good and top brands

well I went to both after work they were within 2 blocks of each other and gander had more but not a single one of them had the rod type im looking for lol 7'2 7'3 MF or MHXF, why is 7'2 7'3 such a hard size to find in stores? lol

anyone got a rod like this for like 100? lol

In my area, Gander Mountain has a much bigger variety. But Dick's still has everything I need 99% of the time.

I wish it was that way where I lived lol that is a hard size to find unless you just order off a website i was hopin to have one for fishing this weekend lol

DSG used to be good. I was there yesterday hoping to buy some stuff and I was disappointed.

not DSG they have tons of broken guides, tips, rods, reels etc i see them just man handling  there rods and throwing them on the racks, i dont go to either, im lucky enough to go to Kevin Van Dams brother Randy Van Dams tackle shop in kalamazoo MI, this April, Mark Zona, KVD,JVD,Gerald Swindle, brandon palauniek and many more will be there cant wait!
