vinnimon Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 What we really need is for the word filter to be programmed... so when it sees Bills Bait and Fishing World in the same thread, a big dead horse picture pops up when you click the thread link... Why?, they do work together in some manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 If you've been around for 6 or 7 years Vince you'd have lost count how many times this nonsense has been spewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pgidley Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 LOL look what I started. I was grumpy because I stood at the counter at Fishing World with a handful of salmon tackle waiting for one of the owners (the guy with dark hair) to get off the phone and stop chatting with his buddy about his boat, but instead of answering my quick question (what was the heaviest mono they carried in bulk - not a head scratcher), he turned his back to me. So I plopped the tackle on the counter and walked out. I do spend money at fishing world because I live close by, but I try to only go in on nights when Nick, Steve or the Jack in hunting are working. I went to school with Nick, and Steve has gotten to know me over time. The new young kid is great too, he really knows his stuff. Those guys won`t waste your time. Also the lady that works sometimes is great too. Bill`s on the other hand - Greg has remembered my name since the first time I walked in there, so I make a point of driving way out of my way if I have anything major to purchase, like rods and reels, trolling gear, etc. I`ll call ahead and see if they have it, and if they don`t, they get it in for me. Can`t beat that service. Grimsby always rubbed me the wrong way, but Adrian has done some solid stuff for us in the last few years. Last week I was looking everywhere for number 3 Spro swivels to do up a new copper set up. Adrian was out of stock like everyone else, but he pulled 5 out of his personal tackle box and sold them to me. The new fella is super nice too, also met him at the Straitliners seminar. I`m not too sure how being closed on Sunday will go for him, but all the best of luck. Its nice to have a specialized great lakes shop right down the road.

bigbuck Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I've bought tackle at both stores and I can't say anything bad about either. They beat BPS hands down. I'd rather give my tackle dollars to the smaller shops like the abovementioned two and also JB's. I haven't been to Angling Outfitters out in Woodstock but have heard good things about them.

vinnimon Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Fishing World is a bigger store with a better selection but the service at Bill's beats them hands down. That's the bottom line. Since a certain crs let a few years ago at the barton shop, i dont see the need to go there. Yes bigger and better selection, price wise almost the same as the upper mount bait shop. Service wise, Tim and greg are top notch guys too a tee. They are in it for the long haul and I see their drive, to keep us fisherman happy. Kudos to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
