I agree with supporting local/smaller business over Cabela’s / Bass Pro if possible. I’ve had a couple poor experiences, your just a number in the world of big business to that crew.Gone Fishing has locations in Nanaimo and Duncan that I like to support as well.
Living on the South Island has the benefit of easy access to great tackle stores including the odd foray to Trotac or Island Outfitters in Victoria.
Even before all the political nonsense I did my best to avoid Cabela’s/Bass Pro in favour of supporting local merchants.
I believe you're saying Cabela's had the higher prices? That has been my experience and for Canadian Tire as well.What's your location?
I've driven straight from gone fishing to Cabela's in Nanaimo and the tackle I had looked at in gone fishing was 5-10% more expensive. I'd certainly rather support local and I honestly think you will get a better price at the previously posted retailers not to mention much service and selection.
Yes Cabela's and Canadian Tire are not the best prices or best knowledge or service.I believe you're saying Cabela's had the higher prices? That has been my experience and for Canadian Tire as well.
I've found all the local shops listed above to be more than competitive along with being able to offer better service and knowledge.
Cabelas/Bass Pro electronic sales are usually a good price break.Yes Cabela's and Canadian Tire are not the best prices or best knowledge or service.
