Hadnt been in since Bps bought them out. Wow was I shocked. Looked like ghost town. Has a lot less product now than it used to have. Looked like they took out a lot shelves. Theres tons of room everywhere that used to have product. Almost no Cabelas brand items. Basically its a BPS with almost the exact same stuff. The Bargain Cave is even gone. Sad day.

One of the employees told me they had to make room for more boats

The Cabelas Guidewear sun protection gloves and face mask were my favorites, but not available (even online) anymore

The Ft. Worth location has had some smoking deals as of late. Found some good stuff there marked way down. I live near it and the parking lot seems busy most days.

About two months before the ownership transfer was official, the store location near me had really good deals on all the Guidewear items. Purchased a few items, but didn't take advantage of the sale like I should have. I underestimated how quickly some of the Cabela's brand options would completely disappear from the online store.

Wife and I went to the one in Allen a week or 2 ago, and left after 15 mins in there. You are right, they had nothing! Wasn't even fun to walk around and just "shop!"

I buy all my tackle online, only when in a pinch I will go to BPS or Cabelas. They're beginning to almost mirror the Walmart fishing department.

I was in Cabellas in Allen last night. It has many times what walmart has. for example, they had more rows of plastic worms than all the fishing supplies at walmart. They have as much space dedicated to hook as half the whole walmart fishing department.

They do not always have what I want, but when I look at the variety of what they do have, it is impressive. I might be looking for a small Rapalla topwater in certain sytle when they only have a larger size but many other Rapalla lures I am not even interested in.

They are trying to satisfy lots of different fishing needs so they may not have as many items as you would like for a specific need but comparing to walmart is totally inaccurate.

Cabellas Allen not only moved the fly fishing area but I believe they did cut back on the variety of tying materials they were offering.

About 2 weeks ago the bargain cave still existed. Last night it was curtained off. Thinking this might have to do with preparing for black friday or Christmas. I know a good portion of the boat section was closed so they could do something with it for Christmas.

I went to the one in fort worth last weekend and was pretty upset at what they had. I didn't even see the bargain cave. Sad day for sure.

Can only speak for the ftw. store, but yes a noticeable disappointment. It was a given, BPS is and has been a joke for along time.

I went to the Cabelas Allen last weekend and was totally infuriated. There wasn't even a manager to complain to. I can't believe they don't carry 17/32oz rainbow colored jigheads in a size 4.5 sickle hook. EVERYONE knows they are the PERFECT size for crappie.

The only thing I liked about Cabelas was the bargain cave... Guess I have no reason to go anymore.
