I went in there last week, they are just getting started with a limited supply of everything.
Met the owner seems like a good guy.
Will just have to see how things work out.

Grub: Smoke with Red Flake
Swim Bait: Keitech Pearl or Electric Shad
Jig Brown Purple Flash w/ Cinnamon Purple trailer Brown with Green Pumpkin trailer
I went there yesterday...they have a good selection of baits, swim baits, etc. Also I was told that they still are stocking their shelves so I would think that items that are not stocked will be.
One of our favorite lure painters also was there, that is a good sign.
I will go back.

I am at 14 rods, but there was a time 22 to 25 was not out of the question.
I may shuttle a rod in here and there but when its usefullness has expired, back to the garage.

Thanks for the info Bill I am still using everything you taught me on that trip when we caught that fish. The biggest is not shown, which went right at 8.
That is me fishing with Bill a few years ago. We also caught 6.9 that day.

One of the times that I have been out with Mr. Babler, we discussed exactly what he has explained in this thread. I have gone and bought several Lew's including the $199.99 reel he has described and I am not disappointed. In fact I have turned the majority of my equipment to various Lew's reels.
I have had the BPS models just flat fall apart after I moved here and used them everyday. They just won't in my opinion hold up, if you are fishing more than you did in the past.

I have over the past few years changed most of my round reels (5500C) to Lews. After fishing with Bill and using them, was what convinced me. I have had no problems so far with the reels I have bought from Lews. They are anywhere from the $100 reel to the $200 reel, all being used with specific rods. I am convinced I have made the right move going to this equipment.

I did reasonably well yesterday, 50 minutes each way to sportsmen's factory outlet, 3 ploppers, and 4 rock crawlers, less than 5 minutes, $90.
thank you for shopping.
I am glad at times he is up there or I would be in the poor house.

There is nothing in the world fishing with your son....kids these days you will never forget.
My son (37) is coming down labor day weekend, cant wait to go fishing with him and his wife we have great times together.
Hope this is just the beginning of having a great life on the water with him
