I wish we had either a Bob's or a Fisherman's Marine Supply up here. FMS in particular has by far the best stock of any tackle store I have ever been in. I always found their prices to be OK, but I'm not the biggest bargain hunter. What is important for me is not having an empty peg for the color and size I need, which is where GI JOes historically falls down.

I like Outdoor Emporium up here, and Ted's is great, but too far away from me. But if you have a trip to Portland, stop by the Fisherman's Marine just over the state line. Leave your wallet in the car if you don't want to have a budget impacting experience.
