I work there......checks gone before it even gets deposited

This works for me. I go into BPS pick up this lure and that lure put it in my basket. Walk around the store and then go put everything back. Every now and then I buy something. I just hate that feeling I get when I buy stuff I really don't need. I'm glad BPS and Academy are over 2 hour drive from me. And the answer is No I do not drive all the way there to do this. My son lives near BPS so we stop when we go visit him.

I always buy stuff that I think I'm gonna need for an upcoming tourney and never end up using them

Everytime my nephew breaks off a crankbait he says "that just cost me $100."

Now I know why.

now that's funny..but true

I too cannot go to academy without buying something😈

$100 is off easy it usually cost me about $300 every time I walk through the door, my son and daughter want everything I get plus some! Lol

You cats are lucky you aren't guitar nuts as well...go to a guitar shop, and $$$$$ is spent! Then, the pain of checking your bank accounts sets in...

HA!

I try to never miss visiting a fishing store no matter how big it is. In Waco we have a Academy, Cabela's, and a GanderMountain. If we are out shopping and I want to stop by one my wife always ask if we need a shopping cart.

I got some Booyah 3/8 oz spinnerbaits today for 68 cents each.

You're right, a buddy of mine never could go in a guitar shop without finding one he had to have.

I'm double cursed.....I like clays and shotguns too.

But do they call your house to see if you're OK if you haven't been in their store in the past week? Then offer to send someone to pick you up if necessary?

I know the feeling well I just bought a Martin 67 d-28 I'll let you do the math!!!! Can you say ouch
