Which one do ya'll think is better as for fishing Equipment?

Cabelas is a better store with better customer service. I don't know who has the best equipment. Prolly about the same.

BPS has a better store layout IMHO. But it's not necessarily a favorite unless they have what I need/want.

I prefer Cabelas

BPS has a much better selection than Cabelas.

bass pro

whichever one you are closer too. On any given day they both suck and on any given day they are both good.

I NEVER buy BPS brand stuff. Everything seems to fall apart within a couple of days. They might get lucky and produce something decent every once in a LONG while, but really - anytime I need a store-brand item - I never hesitate to spend my $$$ at Cabela's.

BPS or Academy all the way.

gander mnt.

BPS!!! Just have more selection!

cabelas has nicer aquariums

thats true, i like the lighting of bps better.

BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, BPS, oh did I say BPS already

BPS is much better and a lot closer.

yeah i definately prefer basspro..
ive been to cabelas, but it just seems stuff is much harder to find there..

I have never been inside of a Cabelas. I prefer BPS only because it is closer to me. I have bought from both online though. I like a lot of selection that Cabelas has, and wish they would open a store closer to me.

I have been inside 3 different Cabelas and have never been impressed. And around here it is way too far for me, 45 miles with too much traffic and construction going on, no way.

BPS has a better selection for most things. And I used BPS rods for many years with no problems before I could justify the price of better(higher priced) rods .

I live too far from either. I got turned on to Tacklewarehouse.com by someone from the TFF. No sales tax, free shipping for orders over $50.00, no fuel cost. It's kinda fun listening for that FEDEX truck come up the street. Almost all my shopping is online now that I live in the country.

I think the selection at BPS is better as well. And Cabelas is a long haul from Garland at 3.50 a gallon.

BPS has a better selection and more organized than Cabelas. Too bad BPS is farther than Cabelas to me. Oh well it's Academy then Cabelas due to location for me!

Cabelas,especialy their tent sales.

BPS. 5 min from the house.

What he said.

BPS all the way

BPS, better catalog and website

BPS is the only way to go. Cabelas is more for the hunter in my opinion.

BPS for Bass Fishing. Cabelas for everything else.

I like both of them and am glad we have both in the Ft Worth area.

BPS....

Cabelas for everything

i like em both.

I have completely given up on Cabela's. The last 5 items I was looking were either out of stock or "oh, I guess we don't handle that".

I can get most everything I need a lot cheaper and a lot closer at the area Academy stores.

BPS = Selection

Cabelas = Customer Service

Agreed! All my big ticket items (electronics, trolling motors, etc.) will come from Cabelas from now on, they understand customer service. BassPro has 'em beat on bait selection by a mile though.

Fishin' stuff-BPS
Huntin' stuff-Cabela's
Preferred place-Academy

I have always heard this saying!

"Cabelas is for hunters that like to fish" & "Bass Pro Shop is for fishermen that like to hunt"

my $.02

The best in my opionion,is if you can ever go to the BPS in Springfield,MO ,they have way better prices then any of the other BPS.

After living in the metromess and moving to Del Rio, be thankful that you have such wonderlands as Bass pro shops ,Cabellas,and Academy!!!

Depends upon what you are looking for. I like both, just Cabela's is so far away. I have found items of use at both that meet my needs. No preference as one over the other. Just specific areas.

BPS! They have better fishing selection! Cabelas is more for hunters in my opinion.

Joe B.

BPS for sure. I won't ever waste my time in Cabela's again. They're higher and their selection was terrible. Only good thing about the store was the bargain cave. Wish BPS had one of them!

6 of one, half dozen of the other. They are both nice stores with comparable merchandise and prices. I would just go to the closest one to home, gas prices being what they are.

DITTO what Monte said....

I like both as well, but I lean toward Cabela's (although they are farther away from me) because the points on my Cabela's Visa card don't expire. But for all I know BPS has changed their policies.

I'm like some of the others,I go to Bass Pro,Cabela's and Academy,just depends on what I want.Bass Pro is a little better for fishing,but Academy does have some better prices on some things.The sales that Cabela's have can be really good.JMO.

65 miles round trip to Cabelas and 75 to BPS, I think the shiping charges are cheaper than gas now so I only use the catalogues online unless I have to see something before buying....but use both and to much.

Cabelas!

BPS

BPS only for convienence & selection, definitely not for price compared to Academy or most any online tackle shop.
