Never good for the consumer when the competition is bought out.

BPS rarely has sales on anything worth buying and keeps it's prices high. might as well buy from your local tackle shop as not much difference. government hasn't been aggressive enough in attacking these larger companies buying up all their competition in many industries especially tech.
I was sorry to hear when Cabelas sold out. If there had been a place like that when I was a kid I would have lived there. The fly fishing shop in the Hamburg store was the BEST FF shop I have ever been in. It has remained a good company to do business with, I haven’t had any problem with internet sales. I just hate to see all of the consolidation, but that’s big business these days.

PS I only have one bait and tackle store within a reasonable driving distance, but it good to support the local guys.

Sportsman Warehouse has had problems for a long time. BPS likely gave the corporation a lift out of obscurity. Hopefully the many employees from top on down will get to keep their jobs.
I'm in agreement that shopping local shops is a good idea but they rarely have, in stock, the gear needed.
fortunately there are several online e-tailers to shop.
The last time I was in the nearest Cabela's store (pre-Covid) the shelves were half empty and what they did have in stock was primarily BPS brand products. It truly looked like a store that was going out of business. So sad.
Sportsman’s warehouse went bankrupt years ago and sold out to some Canadian investors,,,since then they’ve had a hard time getting g people to sell them inventory so it’s probably a good thing for bass pro to buy them out so at least they can fill those shelves
Bass Pro Sucks
