It's finally going through Bass Pro buys Cabelas

[strider43]

Happened here. I quit buying from Cabela's a couple years ago as they drove several region specific tackle stores away. Now I only buy from the few remaining local stores that support region specific fisheries.

There were rumors floating around just after the first of the year Cabela's in Post Falls, ID was going to close. With news of the Bass Pro Shops purchase, it may well happen. I don't need a 100mi round trip and an "outdoor experience" when I buy tackle, just quality, region specific gear, something the local Cabela's never figured out.

I now only support small, local tackle producers like forum sponsors Kekeda Fly Company and Old Goat Lures. Old Goat Lures will get their first workout later this week.

That's right and beyond that Cabela's is over priced junk store for the most part with no customer service. I was buying ammo there when on sale but even that has become too much for them to handle. They cancel half of my order saying that the item is out of stock and that wont be selling it any longer, meanwhile the item is still on their website and available for order and trying to get someone to complete an order with this information is too much for them; they wont do it. And months later they are still selling the same item. Don't waste your time. outdoor Emporium in Seattle has them beat in every regard.

perhaps you should read so your response would make more sense

I hope they don't close the Post Falls store, I love going out there to wander around. And occasionally they'll have a good sale, I've gotten quite a bit of gear there. The other places I hit in Spokane are fairly limited compared to them.
