Thread: Buy Out

Gander Mtn has also left.

Gander Mountain bit the dust because they didn't pay their bills. They were out 90 days with most of the vendors I knew reps in.

That sucks! SW used to have a deal where you buy x # of flies and the price came down a lot. For those tiny dry flies, this was a good option!

The Gander Mountain near me was 300 yards from a Academy Store. Their prices were about 25% higher than Academy. I knew their days were numbered. The new store closed within a year. Even their going out of business prices were higher than Academy.

BB and G has always been cheaper on items he sells .

There are still some of us small tackle shops left. Are we going to have the inventory a 100,000 sq ft big box store has? Obviously not, but I guarantee you we probably have something you need, and I GUARANTEE you your business will be APPRECIATED!!

Cabelas did away with their replacement warranties once BPS bought them. I buy local first, specialized online stores in US next, then Ebay or Amazon next. Online Chinese stuff too! Just cuts out the middle man for the big box guys and I save $$$. I only buy at BPS/Cabelas if they are the only ones to have something. Crappie.com sponsors get my money if I can!
