My local tackleshop is closing down used to go there when I was a kid back in the 80s. They are discounting everything in store.

I was in there today, the biggest bargain was 4 Kinchou minnows for $20. No idea if they're any good but for $5 each they don't have to be great.
There was also a 902 T Curve at 40% off.
Unfortunately a lot of stuff still cost more than what I can get it for online even with the discount so it's little wonder business isn't going well for them.
2015/16 Fisting Victoria Species comp total: 289cm
Brown Trout: 37cm
Flathead: 51cm; Squid: 36cm; Australian Salmon: 51cm; Snapper 46cm; Silver Trevally 23cm; KGW: 45cm

Exactly these local tackle stores can't compete anymore with online stores. The same thing happened with Northern camping & fishing they closed last year after 40 years :down:

Yeah in general it is hard for these brick and mortar type retail shops to compete.

No sounders. They have some daiwa rods and reels just depends what you are looking for.
