I love going into Fin and Feather, they don't have alot but what they have is not junk. They are usually not too busy and you can get in and out quickly if you need to. I get along with the guys there I suppose because I used to play pool with the owner (who is one of the best pool players in the state, maybe even the country) and I like talking with the old men in there and they will always tell you what's biting and where if you ask. They also get alot of expensive gear that is on close out and they will tell you what they are expecting to come in. I have been to Academy once and was not impressed, if I want to go into a big store they have nothing on Bass Pro.
