The Springfield Mo store is very nice... for me at least the store here in Illinois is a bit less than grand, but they still have everything there... you pay tax but no shipping so it's about even in cost over the catalog. -- John Nelson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chicago Area Paddling/Fishing Page http://www.chicagopaddling.org http://www.chicagofishing.org (A Non-Commercial Web Site: No Sponsors, No Paid Ads and Nothing to Sell) |

They ship promptly and I've encountered no difficulty with them. Admittedly, my purchase have been restricted to line( large spools of 20 & 30 lb. Fireline ), but I find their prices for the items I purchase better than tackle shops, even including the shipping. Alan |

Now they are going to build the largest one in the US right here in Las Vegas. DOUBLE WOW! I like them. I like their quality. I like their guarantee. I like their selection. I like their prices. You might check Cabela's, too. They got lots of good stuff. Then just compare and shop prices and sales. YMMV Steve |

Bass pro is the Wallmart of the sporting industry and is putting the good mom & pop shops out of business. Ask them a real gun question and you'll see how PC the place really is.

If your talking on the phone to one of the part time high school kids taking orders then you may not get your question answered. I rate them number one in all departments as is Cabela's. Jerry |

This is a good company and one that carries a lot of fishing equimpent. I
use them and recommend them to everyone. But be careful if you are going to buy a basstracker boat. I have heard some bad things about their service after the sale. I am not sure if this is just for certain dealers or not. I believe that may be the case based on the reports that I have read about this subject over the last three years on the internet. I frequent the fishin.com web forums and the bill dance web site forums. Also I frequent the www.Gr8vacations.com we site which is the old www.crappie.com we site that I enjoy so much.
