This won't effect you smart guys that make your own crappie jigs (see what I did there?), but, how this effects the rest of us remains to be seen.

Just a little while longer and my prediction will come to pass..there will only be 1 of everything...Allmart, The Drug Store, The Hardware Store etc. no more little guy...just BIG. Smiles, G <€€€><
It's got to end up that way you know ! So they can control what lil bit they don't control of already! :Rofl It makes me :puke
I dont know about yall, but i avoid bass pro like the plague. every so often there is something there i need i cannot find locally (charlotte)
I do all my boat part/outdoor shopping at academy. The same items for about 1/4 less. Bass pro price gouges only because they feel they can!

All that said, I hate to see these stores combine. More different is better.
We just got a new Academy in Fayetteville. I have tried to shop with them but they don't have the product I need. It seems to be a camping and hiking center not a fishing store. Just my 2 cents.
