I can't help you, but I agree that Mom and Pop stores are great. I love dealing with family businesses.

I stumbled upon Bacon's Tackle in Shreveport a few weeks ago after TClay confirming they are still in business and the last of the brick&mortar stores in the area.

Awesome shop and extremely nice/helpful. I dropped off 2 reels to be cleaned and also dug around and bought a few baits. Prices were on point, if not a few cents cheaper than the usual.

I walked in and mentioned that I did not know he was still in business, he replied "Yes sir I still come to work every day, the big box stores are sending me business left and right".

My wife's mom owned a bait store til she passed away.

People forget low price isn't always the best value. Service that comes with a purchase can make it a much better value.

I shop with folks I know as much as possible because I get good information, repairs, alterations etc along with the purchase.

Unfortunately people see low price at the big box or cheap crap on internet sites and think they ave getting a better value. Maybe, maybe not. I prefer some service with the sale.

Me too, and I think it's just part of being a community. I love to help keep them in business.

Not really "mom and pop" but Superior Bait and Tackle is locally owned.

Not really "mom and pop" but Lake Fork Tackle is a pretty cool shop, very helpful and friendly. Spent enough time there they started giving me their pro staff discount, only 10% but hey I'm not complaining.

Speedy Junction in Sorrento, it's a gas station, but it has more of the baits people are talking about and looking for than craptastic cabelas.

it doesn't necessarily have to be a family owned store, just mainly a local bait&tackle shop

i would like to know the percentage of people working in the sports section in wal-mart thatif you walk in and ask them a legit question about a lure, bait, rod/reel, etc.. that would have a a real answer that wouldn't be accompanied by a Eli Manning face*
