Where do you get most of your fishing supplies from?

I've been looking at fishing stuff on line lately and looks like WM has a pretty decent supply of fishing supplies. Cheaper that Academy also.

I've always gone to Academy or a bait shop by my house before.

I only go to Walmart when Academy is out of Blue Ice or Monkey Milk, but when I do go, I usually find some great deals on line.

i get 99% of my supplies from Academy, primarily because WMs selection is complete crap. that doesn't stop me from taking a stroll down the fishing aisle at WM when i happen to be there though. last time they had buzzbaits on the cheap.

Both suck in my area, I'll buy hooks and such from both but usually end up at Professional for everything else.

Academy and Superior for me. Academy would make so much more money if they learned how to properly restock their shelves. if you wait until Thursday to stock up, your shite out of luck

I literally spend minutes at the jighead section trying to find the right jigheads. Oh, and their kayak accessory selection is pitiful. They are definitely losing money there.

Academy - Boss Man - Bass Pro when I can't find what I'm looking for...
but WM is notorious for mis-marking tackle...

can't believe I left out Mark at Superior Tackle...

I usually try the local shops/gas stations first, but Academy usually has a much better selection than Walmart.

Spend 5 minutes in that place and you'll realize why Obama is president.

Walmart if during the day. I just park in the automotive section and checkout there. I avoid the rest of the store.
