so what are the best bass shops in so cal and nor call.

I live here in San Diego and Bass shops don't exist here somehow, even with all the monster bass produced here. all the shops cater to the offshore guys. Most stuff I have to scrounge up at walmart or buy online :'(

We have the new Bass Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga,and there a number of others as well.Anglers Marine in Santa Ana,Bob's Tackle in Norwalk,Sav-on Tackle in Santa Fe Springs are a few that come to mind.These shops carry a large selection of rods,reels,and baits,and Sav-on also has  rod wrapping and reel repair stations.Turner's also has a good selection,but some of their stores a small,and don't have as big a selection as their larger stores.
