| Just curious to know what direction the cash flows... Where do you guys buy the MAJORITY of your new and/or replacement baits? If you purchase at multiple sites, please indicate the estimated percentage at each location.
Also, where do you think a guy gets the best deal, money wise?
You can vote for more than one option, add an option if I missed your's.

| i do a lot of online comparison shopping.
i'll open up a couple different websites at the same time that all have the item i want, compare the price plus shipping and handling, and go with the best deal.
i find prices are generally close, but shipping costs can vary quite a bit and makes a big difference.
and i always stop and buy something from the local shop when i'm up north somewhere. |

Location: oswego, il | The musky shows have the new baits first and I usually get alot of stuff there. If I need to replace something, then i will buy from a store, usually a smaller tackle dealer but sometimes a big box store but those are usualy separate trips away from fishing. |

| I usually buy my needs at musky shops, especially new lures I have heard about but not tried. Also stock up on leaders there, sometimes line.
I buy reels from big retailers and on sale.
I buy rods opportunistically and will swap. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I buy most of my new baits at the shows, except for baits by the Basement builders who do not attend. I get a few from Nelson's Choice every year, too. Catalogs are great, Smokey's, Rollie and Helens, etc. |

Location: WI | Smokey's, I can stop in and look everything over. Thorne Brothers has the best customer service around for on-line ordering.
