Buy baits, poles, gear, boat supplies and how far is it from you?
Everything but minnows..Basspro. by mail. My nearset minnow are 40 miles away, but it on the way to the lake.
Gander Mountain or Academy. They are about 20 or 25 minutes from me
walmart, is there any other place? and it's on my way to the fishing hole.
I buy my minners by the pound and keep them in my shop. I get my soft plastics from Midsouth Jigs. Most of my rods came from Monks and Grizzly Jig. Jig heads I pour. I tie my hair and feather jigs.
Poles - Grizzly Jig
Reels - BPS or Dick's
Tackle - BPS online, Dick's (Hot Springs), Trader Bill's (Hot Springs, rarely), Wal-Mart (Hot Springs), TnT tackle out of Murfreesboro, Buck's Outdoors (Glenwood)
Minnows - Plyler's Home Center (Glenwood), Jeremy's Quick Stop (Amity), Trader Bills (Hot Springs), Caddo Valley Bait Shop
Distances range from 4-40 miles, except for BPS, and it's around 4 hours away.
Plus, I tie a few jigs of my own.
MidSouth, Bobby Garland, DanaMax bream jigs, BnM rod tips when I break em all come from Bates which is 5 minutes from home.
1/16 and 1/32 jig heads come from Danogoldcreek at his place which is 10 minutes from home.
Sometimes I like 1/8 jig heads which I get from Walmart. LuckyStrike with Gamakatsu hooks. Walmart also carries solid body tubes I like, and RoadRunners.
Academy Sports has the best deal on BnM poles but the next I buy will be the Ozark rod from Bates. Academy also has the deals on outdoor cooking equiptment!
Gander Mtn...... Well it's a shame the tornaders didn't rip the roof of and the rain fill that sucker up! I can call them, leave home and get there before I get someone on the phone! I HAVE DONE IT! I talked to the manager and told him that is pathetic and he agreed!?!?!?
I can easily go to Academy on my lunch breaks from work!
Trolling motor parts! For you all that don't know Nife Marine does all Minkota and Motorguide warranty work for these parts. If you need it he's got it. Every nut, bolt, bushings, decal, he's got it, very reasonable also! Located behind Bradford Marine, in the back of the H20 sports shop.
Trailer Tires, Liberty Trailer in North Little Rock.
4.8x12 WITH Rim $40
5.7x8 WITH Rim $30
I buy my bait from Midsouth Man's dad....and my purple hull peas...and my maters.Thumbs Up
LOL........I almost forgot! Them trees are getting ready to load up again!Quote:

I get my jig heads and tubes usually at McSwains.

LB
I pick up stuff at wal-mart once in a while, but I mainly use Pattons in Cabot. Has the best selection of jigs out of anywhere I have ever shopped. I use the hot grubs alot this time of year, rarely a tube. And he has more dano max jigs than I could ever use too. I did get my newest rod, a B and M 10' rod at Academy though, won't buy anything at Gander, too expensive. Pattons and wally world are about 5 miles each from me.
Poles from Academy, about 15 miles away. (but think i willl get my next ones from Grizzly Jig since all you pay is 8.50 for shipping no matter how much you get)
Jigs, jig heads, reels from Grizzly Jig. Sometimes I get jigs from Academy and Gander. Also McSwain's in Scott which is about 4 miles from the house.
ive gotten poles and jigs from grizzly jigs (20 miles away), wal mart and bass pro when i catch a good deal. some bass and bigger crappie lures ive caught most in the bargain isle at wal mart half price. boat parts (new arerator and bilge pump) fixing to order from ebay and some more jig poles (buy them in bulk their coming from grizzly jigs also).
My last bulk jig heads came from T-n-T Tackle, Buck's jig poles from Academy and buy replacement ends for poles from B-n-M. I use one type jig tube and that's Southern Pro Umbrella Tubes , buy them in bulk wherever the best price is. Depthfinders and such usually Acdemy or Wal Mart. My gps are from Amazon .com for the best price.
I buy my reels and tackle at Academy Sports and online. I build all my own poles and buy all my supplies online at mudehole and other rod building supplie sites
Bass Pro, Academy, Gander Mnt, Bates Fld n Stream, and who ever has that curtain something special I want. Heck Dennis I even bought two 11 foot jig rods made by your Sponsor yesterday. Nice feeling Rods can't wait to get on the lake with em. LOL There is a Dick's Sporting Good's coming to Conway soon.;)
B&m poles online, Jigs meatgetter, line and odds and ends Wallmart (wallyworld ) live bait do not use much but have several places within 2 miles off camp.
