If I looked good in spandex and my boats paint had glitter, I’d fish for bass.

Dicks was one of the last holdouts but they chickened out too like the rest of the hold outs.
I don't get the Academy love. We have one, it's okay. Mostly stick and ball stuff. I rarely go there for fishing, boating or hunting/shooting stuff. Local tackle shop and the local Bass Pro are both far better for fishing tackle, IMO. Now, a choice between Academy and Dick's? Oh yeah, I'd be all about the Academy store there.

Dicks never had that great of a selection and they were more often 'out' of stock than 'in'. Now, they're not even worth a glance as you drive by them.
No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
Stockers at Dicks drive me nuts…. They’ll put whatever on whatever pegs…. If you grab 4 zoom packs off a peg, you better check what’s in your hand.. you’ll probably have 4 different items..
We have 2 Academys, their lures section is pathetic. Was really good until about 5 years ago. Now its BPS and a couple of small shops. It's pain to order when you want to just go in somewhere and pick up a couple of items.

I haven't been to Dick's this spring. But are local one is not bad. Picked up some nice X Raps jerkbaits there last year at a good price. I usually walk through once or twice a year. But they are focused on kid and teen sports, baseball, football, soccer, etc.

The convenience of our ability to "Add to Cart" for anything we want to purchase these days has contributed to the reduction of on shelf inventory for retailers across the board. Doesn't matter if its boots, socks, tungsten weights or a half ton truck.
About to head out to my store, Rapala and Yum deals, Raps buy 4 for price of 3, Yum is 5 packs for $10.

I was down in Sarasota last week and thought the Dick's down there had a decent selection of fishing stuff

I go to Dick's as a last resort. I hate giving them my money since they've gone all anti-gun. So, I won't miss having any reason at all to shop there.

Haven't been in a Dicks since they made the big scene about removing "assault weapons" from their stores. F-em.
