The largest Bass Pro is in Memphis. Still the 2nd biggest should have some stock on the shelf.

But does it say its the Grand daddy of all outdoor stores plastered on the entrance

IDK, I haven't been to the new one there, but at the old smaller store they had a fantastic fly tying supply and when I asked why so much, I was told that Memphis had the largest fly fishing & tying club in the USA  which surprised me even more.

I think you are correct.  I wasn’t considering that one.

Actually I wasn't sure because I've only seen the Pyramid from outside before the move, so I looked it up. Both are huge but I doubt that fishing is a major part of their profit plan, the Rogers store at least is more of a clothing emporium than a tackle shop.

Swing by BPS in Springfield about any time, and you can usually count a dozen or more out of state plates.

It's a tourist trap as much as it is anything else.

A tourist trap with half price red label 😁.  I’m good with that.

I’ve been there.  It is like many of John Ls enterprises way over the top.  My wife wanted to stay there until we looked up the room rates.

Just go my box with a whole bunch of line delivered.  Thanks for the heads up on the sale Dutch...  They are still running the sale. My buddy ordered 10 spools yesterday online free delivery

Bass Pro rarely has their sale items in stock.  Wonder if they got a deal on a bad run of line from the manufacturer.  Really surprised Johnnyboy hasn't bought Tackle Warehouse and ruined it as well.

They run Red Label every spring at 1/2 price.  I am pretty well stocked but could have used a couple of boxes of 6 and 10.  Now just 10.  Wally World used to sell it and beat BPS $4 a box but they discontinued it.  When I heard that I went to several stores and bought all they had left.
