With all due respect (WADR)

[Vegasspider]

I am loyal to my local Bass Pro Shop (BPS) and local pro shops. But WADR BP is becoming a joke. No stock unless its cheap useless junk or the $50 combos by the front door that is worth $20 tops.

The people in the Vegas fishing department does not know a thing but then again they really don’t need to. They are only told what corporate wants them to say and the tourist will buy anything. There are 2 Nitros (Nice full show rooms with “monkey” gear on display motivates buyers IMO) on the floor and just really nothing. Big spools of string are now a special order etc. Since I travel so much I think from now on I am going to do all of my business with the small shops who invest their life into their businesses. Money is super hard to make and I really don’t feel like spending it with people that comes off like I am bothering them or something. My local pro shop is much better and they really have more useful inventory in their 2500sf than BPS has. Just kind of sick of the corporate "you will buy what we sell you not what you need or want" I still love going in the place and it's a concrete jungle here so the decor puts me at ease and the displays are some of the coolest around.

Hate to say it, buy BPS has become the Wal Mart of bass fishing. Ashame.

I am sure we all have stories of over hearing some of the crap they tell people that don’t know better and like the other post about Carrot Stix. Consider the source.
