Hey Chris, they carry them at the Outdoor store in Salado. I order my TNT slabs online, it's quick and no traveling required.


Great news. I work right down the street from there half the week now. Problem solved!

Thanks for the input guys, sorry I havent had a chance to get a couple of the questions answered, but the day job been pretty crazy the past couple days. Anymore locations? Seems like most of the input is on the same things and this is helpful thanks. It will all be addressed in a couple weeks, thanks for your support all.

Thanks for mentioning the Outdoor Store in Salado, great owner there and hopefully he will have what your after. The online websites that carry TNT's are very helpful for getting baits if your not in the locations that carry them with all the store vendors. I have one more online vendor coming on board soon, he is just waiting for his baits to ship out in the next day or two. Will let all know about that one soon. Keep knocking them out.

In the Plano store on the tollway they are on an end of an aisle and EZ to find. I've even sent some to a friend of mine in Central California, he first used them last year on Texoma and loved them.
He will be using them on lake Nosminnow in may to catch whitebass.
As far as I know he will be the only guy on the lake with TNT's. You may soon have a California connection!

I was in the Arlington store yesterday and they have probably 10-15 baits on the pegs but they have them on the very bottom of the display. If you didn't know they had them and where they were you'd never find 'em....

As for colors they had holographic and a few chartreuse

I was in the White Settlement store today and even though they have moved a lot of items around they still seperate the TNT slabs from the rest. They are over by the jigs now (one isle over). Also they only had 4 types to choose from. I picked up a couple of 1 oz. chartruse/white for this weekend.

I stocked them when I worked at the one in G-vine. I started using them that year too. I love the 180s and have slowly switched my tackle box over to them. Its about 50% TNT, 25% lead babies, and the other 25% is assorted bomber and Oklahoma something (I forgot the name of them).

I have noticed that some stores put them on the end caps not by the other slabs. I would talk to them and make sure that they are placed in the same areas as the Bombers slab. If you can put a 2 ounce in the store you would be able to have one of the few 2 ounce slabs in the store. The heaviest I remeber seeing were 1 ounce so you would have an edge as far having the only larger sized slabs for sale.

I agree with the post above. I frequest the Lewisville and Grapevine stores. They have a lot of 1 oz and smaller. Some 1.5 oz but no 2. Need more of a selection on the larger ones for Hybrids and Strippers...I mean Stripers..:)

Bryon,

Here is my input. I live in a suburb of Houston known as Katy, Tx.

We have a few lakes around us.

Lake Conroe has Hybrids, & Whites

Lake Somerville has Hybrids & Whites

Lake Livingston has Stripers & Whites. In the way northern end there have been reports of Hybrids.

As Mattsfishing stated it would be great to get some in the Conroe store and I would also like to see some in the Katy store. Plus Katy is where Academy is based out of. I think it would be a pretty good market given the lakes we have around us here. There are a bunch of Academy's within a 10 mile radius of where I live.
