I wish that we could pick more than one because I like bass pro and I like the local stores too. I like bass pro because when we go up to springfield it like a holiday. It is always the first place we go and my wife likes it as much as I do. The only negative I have about BPS is I will never make another online purchase with them. It was a disaster. Cabelas was a lot better in that regard. Also, more impressed with their catalogs lately than BPS. Lastly, I like the mom and pop places to hang out and pick something up when I am in a pinch.

Bass Pro Shop, they have the best selection around my area.  They usually have every thing in stock that I am looking for.

BPS because I don't have to con the wife into letting me go because she likes it too.She'll get some shirts or little knick knacks and I'll get my fishing gear.

 I get my hunting stuff from cabelas mostly though.Hmmmm.Weird.

If you are within 50 miles of Richmond Virginia, you HAVE to vote local!  Greentops has the best selection of lures, terminal tackle and tackle around.

Last fall they opened a Gander Mountain close to Greentops and they are building a BPS just a few miles away.  Richmond is going to be in Bait Monkey heaven!

My wife could only find one positive thing to say about the new BPS is..."At least I will get time to myself when you and the boys spend all your time shoping at Bass Pro!"

sugi's, located in fukuoka japan

Capra's Sporting Goods, Blaine MN.  It's a place you feel welcome in rather than like a statistic.  They have everything I want/need and their customer service is KING.

Yeah, sure I enjoy the trips to Cabela's (my 6 yr old LOVES the place) but I prefer to support the independant with my money.

Tackle Warehouse

Northern Bass Supply. They are fantastic to work with. They usually have what I want & get it to me very fast.

About 25 miles away is a U.S. Bass tackle shop that carries a lot of good stuff.  14 miles away is a small tackle shop that is affiliated with BPS and will order anything you want from their catalog at the same price with no shipping charges  Then there's the satellite shop of the Great Outdoor Store that just opened up down the road from the BPS  affiliate.......life is good.

      If you have to touch it before you buy it, hands down it would be Greentop Sporting goods for me. It is a hour and a half drive to get to it, but well worth it. Online, Tackle Warehouse has the others beat by a long shot. No B.S to sell, just the good stuff and thats the way I like it!

Cabela's because I get a HUGE discount there!  

I use to live near Nashville and went to the BPS often and I really liked that store as well.

Tackle Warehouse hands down. Free shipping, great selection.

I had a $600 order from ***.com that contained almost a hundred Terminator Pro Top Secret Jigs. And all came with regular sillicone skirts not the Air Alive skirts like EVERY OTHER terminator jig comes with.  I sent an email and never got a response. >

I picked Bass Pro Shops because I've had great experiences with them.  Prices are good, shipping is quick, and even when I had a problem with an order getting lost in the mail that WASN'T their fault (federal government mail system's fault actually), they did everything they could to cancel the previous order and ship out another one immediately even before the first one was returned back to them.  Top notch customer service if you ask me.  Plus their products are really nice and they carry a large selection of merchandise.  Only thing I don't like is their brand of spinning rods, the reel locking system is not to my taste.  

The others listed to vote on, I have no problems with, just BPS has been the one I have the most experience with.

Simmons Sporting Goods followed by BPS. Nice people at Simmon's and have always treated me nice. Either online or in person.

cabelas due to the fact of great customer service plus i have a cabelas credit card and u get points which in return is free merchandice.

Close second would be *** because fast delivery and u can see the color of the products better...

bps last two times i ordered from them they didnt have lures or colors i wanted in stock so thats the end of them

Ive spent over $500 on Cabelas in the past week. VERY fast shipping and EXCELLENT customer service. Cabelas as a favorite hands down

If I don't need it right away, i'll go with tackle warehouse or USACproshop, but if I need it right now, i'll usually head to Sportsmens warehouse which is 5 minutes from my house.

Tackle Warehouse is my favorite.  They have free shipping on orders over $50.00, their service is excellent and they have the fastest turn-around on mail orders.  I don't have any local outlets for fishing supplies other than Sportsman's Warehouse;  therefore, most of my purchases are via the internet.

BPS is my favorite by far. The employees are always knowledgable and helpful.

gander mtn ,well run and has great customer service(at least around here) also its nearby unlike all the other major retailers and unfortunatly there arent many local small shops that are into bass fishing, everything around here is saltwater  

Glad you put Academy up there!!! Usually it get's left out!!! Academy is where I buy 85% of my the other 10% is a store on the way to Galveston....Fishing Tackle Unlimited. the other 5% is split between Cabela's BPS and Gander MTN. Academy get's 85% because they have GREAT prices and are all over the place!!! Also we have one like 15 mins. away from my house!!!

none of the above. nobody carries everything i need. when someone does, they will be my favorite.

Why not pick up the phone?

I voted Bass Pro.  I live about 10 minutes from one and I don't like to buy stuff online unless I absolutely cannot find it somewhere else.
