SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FISHING TACKLE SHOP

Hey the big-big fishing store is now here in Maryland! So What! Now we have the big three and other large discount fishing stores. Guess what not one of them will donate to PSG’s non-profit kids fishing derbies held each year. How about this your local tackle shops does! Thanks to JR’s Discount Tackle who donates each year towards the kids fishing derby. Bud Hein of Fishbones Bait & Tackle donates a flat of worms at each event. I am tired of asking the big fishing stores for donations to our kids fishing derby. Your local tackle shop is a convenience and information center for all fishermen. Oh you say there prices are too high, huh? Well maybe so but look at all the extras you get (INFORMATION) (ROD & REEL REPAIR) (FRESH BAIT) and ICE. When you go to the big three check and see if they have custom made lures such as bucktail, parachutes, umbrella rigs and jigging baits. Sure they carry some of these items but take a look at the quality. Try asking where the fish are biting you’ll love the answer. These are only a few of the extras your local tackle shop will share with you. Oh I forgot the word friendly! I can do without the big three but can you do away with your local tackle shops? I don’t think so. Sure I purchase items from the big three but only for the prize table because of the variety of stock. PSG also purchases prizes from the tackle shops that support us and I’m asking you to the same.   Tell them the PSG sent you!        by  George Bentz
