I stopped into DH Custom Rods/Tackle Store down near Minnetonka today! I will definitely be going back.
I have driven by in the past and just hadn't stopped in, wow was that a mistake! They are definitely tuned to bass fishing, which is key.
Normally I try to buy from smaller shops, but do also order and buy from some of the bigger boxes (Cabelas and Scheels, sometimes TW).
I try to frequent Joes, Thorne Bros, sometimes Capras and have started to try Omnia (as it is close by).
Anyone else have any tackle stores that I should try in the Metro Area if I get a chance?
