    Dude, while everybody is thinking how cool this is - take a minute to think about your local mom and pop bait and tackle stores. As the owner of one I can tell you we are a dying breed and need all of yall's support! Your business will be much more appreciated and your cust serv experience much better the vast majority of the time. Thanks, Brad @ Flint River Outdoors.

      Id support a local shop every time over a big name brand store, But don't have anything within miles of my home in south east MO. I get it that we dont have a ton of lakes here to fish but lots of us go to the ozarks and fish tournaments in boats and kayaks. I have wanted to open a shop but have no clue how or if it would even survive.

Lol I'm just curious, because I've got a gas station 30 miles from my house that's a bass pro outlet like this and it's been there for at least 38 years, because my dad started taking me there since I was born. Although I will say, this one has about twice the room ours does. Looks pretty sweet there!

    Awesome video, Larry! That's an awesome little shop 🎣 Hotter take than I thought, but if your (whoever is reading this) state has problems with invasive Asian carp, I 1000% recommend you go snagging for some! One hell of a fight, and they gotta go if we want to protect our local ecosystems 🤌🎣 (for rigging, I had luck with searching for spoonbill snagging rigs 🤙)
