They finally opened a Dick's here this month. I am hoping to make a drive up there Friday.
I would stongly urge all to check out their local Mom and Pop type shops. Admitedly, you won't find th esame sales, but they are usually very close in price. My reason is not that they have a bigger selection, nor are they always the most affordable, but if it is only a 2-3% difference, I will almost always choose the smaller stores. The big chains don't need my money to stimulate the economy nearly as much as the smaller stores. Now that I am off my soapbox..... Of the one's listed, I have to go with BPS. Not much hunting out this way, and BPS is at least drivable for me. (120 miles away)

Lot Brothers (off northlake, east of I95) Perks (off east Lantana) Xtreme Rods (again, on Lantana just west of Congress) There is one on Southern, west of Forest Hill, but they are so, so, on their lure selection. I use them mostly for minnows for spec fishing. For high, to very high end gear theres a cool shop just north of Indiantown rd, on Alt A1A. Mostly terminal gear, and high end reels. They focus more on salt and big game, but the reels however are either/or.

Both. More saltwater. But they have a decent selection of lures not carried by the box stores.

Except the people at bps are just lookers who don't know fishing. At least here. I was there first week also. The Meijers I go to is in Rossford since I live 10 minutes from the BPS and that Meijers. I live SE of Toledo. Maybe that is why the selection is ok. It's not great but I don't see a reason to spend 30 dollars on a lure anyway. If I were to go and buy a new reel or rod I would probably just run to BPS since if you know what you want it's a fine store to go to. When I went they didn't know the difference between a rooster tail and a nugget.
The store though is definately amazin.. |

Same thing with the one they opened up here in Lk. Mary (first one in Florida). Send them all back up north where they came from

D'OH! lol, I know where it is, we drive by on the way home from BPS. I guess most of the time, I'm too busy looking at the stuff the monkey just forced me to buy. BB

I agree with you Chris, Ganders in Lake Mary haven't got a clue. Bitters Bait Shop is the best mom & pop shop for all your bait monkey needs!
