I know shopping for fishing stuff online is really convenient, and there can be great deals at times, or some products may only be available online...
BUT nowhere in cyber-land reproduces the feeling of walking into a baitshop. LURES! It's almost like church to a lot of us!
What makes a bait shop isn't the lures, (although they're very pretty, and quite seductive!) it's the owner/counter help. A great baitshop has someone who is knowledgable, there to help us with our purchase,and plan fishing strategies for a wide area, giving fishing reports and listening to our whopper fishing tales.
If you ask me what my favorite baitshop is I'd tell you one local and one in the Northwoods- Fishing Connection in Tinley Park and Pastika's in Hayward.
The Fishing Connection (F.C.) has been a tremendous supporter of Midwest Musky Club fundraisers, and Greg the owner is thoroughly helpful and courteous. I suggest that any Midwest Musky Club member who shops at Fishing Connection, visit the following link and write a review of Fishing Connection- as a thanks for everything he's done in the past and currently.
