I believe these Large Box Stores, Walmart etc...have really played a big part in the small bait shops demise. Unfortunately that is the sign of times. Not only demise of the baitshops, but small businesses in general, as well as small town Main Street altogether. I try to shop with the small businesses when possible and always buy from local bait shops for tackle when possible. But with that being said.....I do enjoy strolling thru a Bass Pro.
