Will add this. I've been going to sportco since day one. When it was owned by a guy my Dad graduated with (don't know the guys name off hand). Was in that small hole in the wall across the street from UPS in that little roll up door. They always had a good selection, with stuff on stock UNTIL the store was sold to the big business it's run by now. Also, did most people know that they stock most of the tackle shops around the area? Why you see employees with carts getting stuff. Aunty, I can guarantee Sportco gets stuff WELL before 3 rivers, since they probably sell 5 times the supply they do (since they distribute to most small tackleshops, I do believe monte square being one). Why do you think the hot stuff is gone? Because everyone, including other shops, want them. So once stuff comes in, Sportco is sending it right back out again. Sportco isn't bad, but I always wished they had longer hours. I think it's just who you are, and how you come into the shop. I've never had a problem, but I rarely go in there anymore. I know I'd get in from my routes right at 6pm, so was impossible for me to get to sportco. I'd have days I'd actually take no breaks during day so I could make it back to Sportco on my way in from my route. Another hour would make a big difference.
