I buy stuff everywhere I find something that trips my fancy. I also buy alot of specialty items from bass catalogs for custom tackle. Mostly Swains and R&R marine for the drift gear basics. For fly stuff I really like Waters West in Downtown Port Angeles (good fishermen and nice guys)
Going to Teds was a real thrill when I was in my early teens. We would make a special trip from Port Angeles to buy sand shrimp because nobody carried them on the Peninsula. I still stop in there whenever I am in the area....not often enough. They still won't part with the RAY Bobbers. I did get a huge stash of old okies
Remember to support your local tackle stores so you will have the special lures and items when you need them. Walmarts and Sports Emporiums just don't cut it for specialties.
