Always sad to hear about any business go out but a tackle store is a tough go for sure. Too many big boys out there that can sell too cheap to compete with. We all love the personal service of a Ted's but everyone would probably admit that they stock up at the cheaper stores....I know Mike at Ted's could retire on what I have spent there over the years but I spread it around too. Sorry to hear about the store closing ...I'll stop by and spend a few bucks tomorrow.
