I wish the local stores near me had more selection of stuff made this century. Stocking crankbaits is a thing of the past and most now only stock one line of plastics. I try my best not to go to BPS or WallyWorld and do most of my purchasing online. I know it's hard for baitshops to compete these days but you can't sell it if you don't stock it.

There are some shops that do it right and make the most of the space that they have. The stores that Dave Stewart recommends on Ky. Lake aren't huge but they pack a lot in there
and it's new stuff, priced fair and it usually costs me a hundred or two each time I go in.

I can get advise anywhere and it's usually worth what you pay for it.
