Dang Bass Pro Shops!

You guys live too far away. I live close enough that I am in there every few days and over the years I have overstocked to the point that the last several times in the store I haven't been able to find anything to spend money on at all.

LOL!! me too

Got that same problem LOL! I'll have to be disciplined and go to the outlet store first, this time! Daddy needs some new bassin' gear.

I too always it the Outlet store first. I guess I am just a tightwad, the most I ever spent was $60. Most the time I spend less than $20.

You live too close. Make it a 3 hour drive and you won't be there every day.

I went to Cabela's in KC this weekend. Got out of there for about $4.

On a side note, I hit BPS about 3 or 4 times a year. I think I have only been there once so far this year.

The St. Charles BP doesn't have a "outlet store"..If it did I would spend a helluva lot less!

Not to make anyone mad, but, I have the best wife in the world. We stoppped in BPS with me telling my wife that I only needed a new cammie jacket and pants for a west Texas hunting trip. Well I'll be darned, the girl knows about shopping and putting outfits together! We walked out with new cammie pants, shirt, matching tee shirts in both long and short sleeve, suspenders, belt, hat and a jacket. I keep telling her that the ensamble paid off because we did really well hunting. Lot's of deer, rams, boars and rattlers. It's all about positioning your needs and keeping mamma involved my friends. May god bless the wives.

Semper Fi and keep up the fishing and hunting.

I wanted to hit the Cabela's up in WI when I went, but heck, I already blew all my money at the fly shop and the discount sporting goods store.

I been to BPS twice this year. Both times went with less than $50.

Geez I wish I were a rich man every time I went there.

I'm not local to Springfield but we have the store in Broken Arrow and I'm usually there at least once a week. Twice a week if I'm not fishing on the weekends. Usually have my daughter with me so we always hit up the fly fishing, waterfowl, and camping section. Along with a stop in the kids section. Plus we usually take at least 3-5 rides up and down the elevator...she loves the dang thing.

I usually spend about $50 in there on a random trip...my wife has come to accept it. The same goes for our local fly shop here in Tulsa (D&B Outfitters). Went to Academy tonight to kill some time and had talk myself out of a skeet thrower....TWICE! But I'm probably going to go back and buy it tomorrow after further consideration

I always have my wife with me when I go to BPS. I found another downside to having the biggest bass fishing store close by: There is no bigger place to go. When I was a teenager and fishing I always wanted to go to BPS but there wasn't one within 6hrs of me so I never went. I do wish they carried bagley crankbaits in springfield.
