Longview Acadamy had a ton of 130 size WP marked down for $9.99. I grabbed a few to replace the ones that the redfish tore up last year. The longview academy is hands down the best academy for fishing stuff. I went to school out there for a year and they always had a better selection and prices than the fort worth area ones. Love that location. This is true. I was in the Longview academy a few weeks ago and was pissed about how much better it is then the Tyler academy. I keep trying to find reasons to go back to Longview now.

The 2-3 years of throwing them when very few people even knew what they were was fun. Now they are gutting to be the Senko of the topwaters. Everyone throws one it seems.

In Arlington the other day workers in every fishing aisle stocking pegs. But normally they only worry about selling guns.

Try the Killeen Academy, we have a huge selection of fishing tackle.

I'm not a big fan of Academy, but it's all I've got in Beaumont. Thankfully, it's fully staffed and full of fishing gear. I saw last night they were putting up a new display of Dobyn's Fury and Sierra rods, 13 fishing rods, and one other middle tier rod. They've got a great selection of Zoom baits, plenty of hard baits, Basstrix, and quite a few other good brands.
Keep the Lord in your heart and keep your powder dry.

The Academy stores around here are laughable at best.

The store here in Denton rarely has anything in stock in the fishing dept that anyone needs. It’s been a total disappointment in this location especially with two lake so close Agree! Buying online while efficient and usually cheaper does not scratch my tackle itch like sorting through a nice selection at a store and actually walking out with exactly what I want!
See you on the lake and have a great day!
