    travelling for work to Minneapolis

    Be there Thurs-Sat for work, flying in. Any tackle shops (other than BPS and Cabelas, I have those here in Cincinnati) worth stopping at?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Scheels in Eden Prairie is a huge multi-story outdoor store that you might enjoy. Capra's is a small family-run gun and tackle store with a big selection. Owners have been in the MN tournament scene for years and have a great tackle selection geared to our lakes.
    There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.

    Here are a few of my favorites:

    Joes Sporting Goods
    Thorne Brothers (this one is quite a bit muskie gear, but does carry some bass)
    DH Custom Rods and Tackle
    2019 Nitro Z19 Sport with 150 Four stroke
    Swinging bass in the front
    and wake boards and tubes off the back

    Capra's and Thorne Brothers are less than 2 miles apart. Very rarely do I make the trip to one without hitting the other.

    Prior Lake Bait & Tackle usually has a few things the other places mentioned above doesn't carry, but depending on where you're staying may not be worth the drive unless you're looking to just get out and explore as they are a much smaller shop than those others listed above.

    Capras will probably be your most bass heavy tackle shop you will find in the Twin Cities. Omnia would get the nod but they are more of a warehouse than a tackle shop at this point.
