Just thought I would open a topic up that is being discussed on another forum lightly. I saw an opportunity to have a list that many of our members may find useful. So if you know of a place near you that provides good service to the anglers in the area put it on here. It doesn't have to be a specific specialty store, it could be a grocery/gas stop with a good selection of tackle. Just put it on here. Who knows we might just drop in on the way to your local fishing hole and say hello (and buy some tackle from them!). I will list a few (I know just in the local Allatoona area I may miss a few of the smaller shops you pass on the way to the ramp so list them) to get the ball rolling I will "sticky" this topic for a while and you guys keep adding to it:

thanks, Coach! Do you know of any other places up there in your part of Georgia?
I sure hope that Andy gets on here and gives us some places around Westpoint and maybe some folks can share info on places near Sinclair and Occonnee (sp?) and other fishing hotspots.

This is the only local owned.

If you don't want just very common plastics or hard baits, you'll be ordering online here.

Don't forget that each Walmart has a fishing section.
