Their selection is awful and their prices are worse. $16.99 for a 10XD at BassPro. $12.99 on tackle warehouse. Those are normal every day non-sale prices. Before you pay for the fuel expense there and back. That's a 30% premium, which could be justified if they had great selections and knowledgeable accessible staff, which they don't. I'm down to about 1 trip a year there and I always leave disappointed.

Bass Pro, plain and simple sucks. Cabela's used to be good until Bass Pro poisoned them. Now it's a disaster. Neither store have good merchandising principles and many of their employees do not fish or hunt, so they aren't of much use. Overall, their prices may be higher, but I prefer Fishin' World and Fun N Sun. At least there, you'll get some personalized service and support something local.

6th Sense is'nt different enough from many other suppliers to compete at their price point.

The 6th sense hard baits are better quality and more innovative than most at their price points.

Lure body shape and bill shape to impart a different action than most Chinese cookie cutter lure blanks.

Big Box stores have broke many a small time lure maker with their crazy and unreasonable terms and conditions

6th Sense has great hooks right out of the package which saves me from having to swap hooks. Support Local...

I’ll start buying 6th sense. Right now it’s pretty much all strike king and zoom.
What other local companies are good for baits.

LFA 17 you are totally wrong. 6th sense crank baits are high quality. I would guess that you don't have any and have never fished one of their crank baits have you?

Please explain "more innovative" They catch fish. Do you need to know anything else? Are you Grueber with another screen name?

Tackle Warehouse! If they don’t have it, I probably don’t need it.
