It would have to be the smaller ones the larger stores are more about selling to the general or norm rather than cater to us.. where the smaller stores do thier best.. Personally When I go to most stores other than a small list I am almost pissed off.. yes I believe in spending money locally and will if the store I'm in carries it I would much rather buy a (megabass) jerkbait  or a (huddleston swimbait) from auburn or three rivers than on the puter. I am one of those guys who likes to personally touch what I'm gonna buy especially if its somthin I heard about and  have never seen...  so I was curious to know what ye'all thaught.

I hear what your saying Dan and I feel the same. I like seeing what I'm buying first hand if I've never actually seen it before. I honestly buy most my stuff off the computer just because the local stores don't have that great of a selection and it can be a lot cheaper. I live in Longview and unless I happen to be in Vancouver or Portland I have to go to Bob's. They have a fairly decent spread for a local business and do have a really good selection of soft plastics from quite a few different makers. Where I find they're lacking is cranking baits selection wise. It's good stuff but I'd like to see a better selection of different brands and more of the brands they have.

I would also prefer to buy tackle from a local business. I buy most my gear online because of the selection and pricing but probably the biggest factor is convenience I can shop anytime from my couch and I know exactly what is in stock without driving to a store to find out what I want is not available. A local shop should come out with a great website.
