    Used to go to Bridgemaster for years just to rummage around in all those trays of stuff that was on the shelf. They used to buy out tackle shops that were going out if business. Now they are just a retail store... sad

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to try to hit a couple tomorrow. The traffic and the crowds at these parks is almost more than a central small town Kansas guy can handle. Great weather though

    Used to be some killer deals back in the day. I bought OG Gambler Ninja spins for like 1.50 and a bunch of us got a 65 pound braid deal in huge spool. think they lasted 10 years or longer. Still awesome store. But not like back in the day.

    ....do they still have deals on rod blanks? Last time I was there was 10-11 years ago and it took HOURS to look through everything....
