Yeah like ron f says and would be even smaller if Pete Maina wasn't involved with them.

They have a decent selection in the Gurnee store. I'm sure it varies by area. However in the cataloge there isn't much in the way of muskies. I think it will vary by market as far as what the retail stores will carry.

Market analysis shows 168,000 anglers targeting muskies at some point in the year of 2007 in Minnesota alone. Not a small market to me Now if I can just sell one lure to each angler every year. LOL Just one...

Smaller, locally owned shops have the upper edge on the big guys by carrying more selection of musky related stuff (R&H, Guides, Smokeys, The Sportsman, Thornes, etc,), because it is their bread and butter. If Big box got out of the musky deal, they would not feel any loss, because most of their income comes from bass, walleye, camping,hunting, gifts, etc.
