The Big Get Bigger

[Brian Jones]

I hate to admit this, especially with my wife and I both having small businesses (Jennifer a full time beauty shop and me a lawn care side gig), but I'd say at least 95% of my fishing purchases are made at Tackle Warehouse.  Why???  Because currently the closest tackle shop to us is in Pevely and too many times I have driven north (Pevely, Fenton, Hazelwood and St. Chuck) with intentions of making specific purchases, only to find out when I got there that what I was wanting was out of stock..........  Plus, with Tackle warehouse I can get 2 day shipping for 5 bucks if I spend over $50.00 which is almost always the case.  I can't drive north, even in one of our girls' mid sized sedans for 5 dollars............................  I spent a lot of money with the Jennewein's when they had their place off of 110.  They always had a huge selection of Assalt worms which are one of my favorite soft plastics.  Also frequented Reggie Crabdree's tackle store when he had the Antique mall below Farmington at the intersection of 67 and H Hwy.  But both of them have now been closed for some while. 

As far as hunting stuff  goes, I've bought quite a bit from Natchez SS and also Roger's Sporting Goods in the KC area the past few years.  Roger's has the some of the best service and customer support of any retailer I've ever purchased from.  I bought my current climbing stand from Roger's a few years ago and I swear Fed Ex was delivering it before the transaction was complete.  Well, maybe not quite that fast but close...................

O go to or call and check with Bullseye because I like them but like you a lot of times he doesn't have it.  Especially now due to the pandemic.  He charges a buck or two more for everything but I pay it.  They have turned me on to two different baits I wouldn't have tried if not for them recommending them.  And they have caught a lot of fish for me over the years.
