Lures? *Found something interesting - Chesapeake Bay Lures with a red

blue back herring color scheme and read headed white translucent body.

They have a great selection of fly making materials too - very nicely
priced - extremely competitive with a lot of speciality shops and a
great selection. *Also picked up a new vise - 360 degree rotation and
numerous head angles - very nice vise for traveling and as a spare for
my bench vise.

Frankly, I was impressed on this trip.

Y'know, I'm not a fisherman but like to baot,a nd of course we don't
have one local, like... down the street, but that's one place I've
never been in. a Bass Pro Shop. Are they kind of like the Home Depot
of outdoor sporting goods?
