Wally Spotted in WM

[Dutch552]

Cruising around the sporting goods department of my local WM today I saw a complete selection of Mr. Crappie bobbers. This seems to confirm talks regarding a new relationship between the two WM's. I am excited to see his products out again.

OK, who is WM and WM? Keep in mind that this is a worldwide Internet extending far beyond Hodgenville.

Wally Marshall and Walmart. A match made in crappie heaven.

My local WalMart has always carried the Mr. Crappie bobbers, I have been buying them there I know for 5 years.

When at Grizzly Jigs spring show Wally said an announcement would come out in two weeks. That's about now. And he did say he had an appointment in Bentonville, that coming week. Also, he said that his products will be in more stores throughout the country. And I noticed Bass Pro Shop has now restocked the rods that used to have Wally's name on them. Same rod, without his name.

That would be Mr. Crappie Wally Marhsall and Wal-Mart. Thank you for your friendly response.

I went to the boat show at BPS in Clarksville, IN yesterday and spent a few hours roaming around. I found none of Wally's rods but found some old stock reels, bobbers, jigs and spider rigging rod holders left over in the stores. they still have not changed the name of Mr. Crappie line as of yet. Got to see Jimmy Houston talk and picked up a new depth finder while there.

I look through the sporting goods section every week when I am grocery shopping and this was the first time that I have ever seen his name on a product in the store. If a talk in Bentonville was in the works then chances are good that his name will start to appear on more items after contractual agreements are made.

I hope he doesnt start a "cheap" line of products to sell in Walmart. Seems whenever Walmarts sell a good product we're all used to a funny thing happens....all of a sudden it's something cheap made that aint worth a flip.:o Just look at the Zebco 808's....same thing happened to them.:rolleyes:

It will be good I think....I think we are also going to see Mr. Crappie stuff at several other big name stores as well as WalMart.

[river slabs are better]

look at the BPS website. the crappie reels with his name on them are 10 bucks and the SAME reel just without his name is now 20 bucks
