Old Ironmaker Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Can't beat Grimsby tackle, Bill's Bait and Tackle, and Fishing World in Hamilton Pleases support the local Mom and Pop stores rather than the big corporate stores like the American based Bass Pro and Cabellas etc. I bet they will meet the corporate stores prices if given the opportunity.

I have got some great deals at Sail, including price match bargains. I just make sure to do all my research first so I don't have any questions when I'm there.

I just make sure to do all my research first so I don't have any questions when I'm there. They do have some goods deals and I'm all for a deal. As far as my earlier comment, it was 100% tongue in cheek. They're just people making an honest living and I can think of worse places to work. If I forget, I'll just read my resume.

wormdunker Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Grimsby tackle is awesome! Very knowledgeable staff. I was shopping some tackle items at BPS. 2 days later went to Grimsby Tackle. He is what I found. Dipseys size 1 BPS $22.00, Grimsby $17.00, Humminbird Helix at BPS $600.00, Grimsby $500.00. Buffs BPS $28.00, Grimsby $17.00. I've asked my family members NOT to purchase gift cards for me from BPS. I'll support the smaller shops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Box charges what they can, not what they should. What is their markup given their buying power and they charge more that Grimsby Tackle??

manitoubass2 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 In NW ontario im so far from these stores. Honestly thinking of opening a shop. Right in the middle of the honey hole and its 100km to the nearest tackle shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXXington Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Went to LB's for the no TAX sale.. found some good stuff at the price when the Canadian paso was higher. BPS and Cabala's have already raised the cost on a lot of fast moving items as they restock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm all for supporting the little guys, but in fairness big box stores do have higher overhead. True, but it's their volume that covers their overhead. If it wasn't, they wouldn't build 300,000+ sqft stores, carry that inventory and hire accordingly. They sell some product cheaper than small stores can buy it. I know, I've seen it. But hey, that's ok, it's business and if I had a store that big, I'd want to have my inventory turns as high as possible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
