It would have to be one of the most amazing stores with the most amazing prices on the planet for me to drive to the Colony... Grapevine is at least a bit more centralized. No worry though, the Ft Worth guys have quality tackle shops like APT, Rivera Tackle, and Fun N Sun that carry all of the hard to get products and colors as well as the regular stuff.. head a little farther west and you have Tackle Depot.

bass pro did not ruin your cabelas the internet stores did brick an mortar stores are at a huge disadvantage because they cant stock as many items as they used to because of slow turnover cost of employees an cost of space is what kills most of them getting to a point where folks are not investing their money in stores that don't make any money.

Gotta pay those bpt entry fees.....

Amazing that the internet did not kill the store during all those years before BPS bought them out. Great selection of fishing equipment, customers always in there buying stuff (including me).

Then BPS buys them out, gets rids of a bunch of staff, removes half the fishing inventory and the half that remains, most of it is replaced with BPS branded stuff. Selection and prices suck. Now I don't see many customers in there and I have no reason to darken the doors again.

That internet sure is smart to suddenly start killing the brick and mortar store riiiiiight when BPS makes their changes. Amazing!

The cabelas in Buda sure seems like it went to hell after BPS bought cabelas.

I hear ya. I started using Yum dingers years ago and haven't noticed any difference in the performance.

I like going to Cabelas, I can always find something I dont need.
