If it`s of the same size as their new store in Calgary, If they don`t have it, you probably don1t need it.

Sounds juicy!!! I can't wait to fill my tackle box up.

Someone had posted that today was supposed to be the soft open..... did anyone check it out to see if that held true??

Store opened at 10 am this morning. All I can say is WOW. Great selection of everything an outdoorsman/woman would want.

Stopped in today. All I can say is "wow!". Great variety although I was disappointed in their fish hook selection (maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place but I was looking at hooks?). An example of the variety is I noticed one whole rack/wall of fisherman tools (pliers, scissors, etc) for taking hooks out of fish,etc. Usually you get a choice of one or two items. Pretty standard selection of Coyotes but all seemed at a good price. Very impressive and worth the visit! Tons of rods/reels and you name it. I didn't have enough time to see it all.

Ditto!! WOW!! Bought time we had a decent outdoors store in this town :D Only had time for a quick look around this morning, but was impressed with the great selection. Prices were OK too, with some better than others.

Hey Done Deal, if you were looking for the Gammys, they are on the wall behind the counters where the fishing reels are. Guess they are a little worried about them walking off by themselves ;)

Gonna go back tomorrow & have a good look around. I've got a feeling there is a new Shimano spinning reel in my future 8-)

Thank you, SS. Yes I was looking for the Gammy's and only found Eagle Claw and Mustad out on the racks. I think another visit is in order!

I was in there tonight. Took me a full hour just to browse through it. I thought the same thing about the hook selection, but I didn't look behind the counter. Decent selection of gear though. If you are a bass fisherman you are in luck, I have never seen that many rapalas before. They are still waiting for their hoochies.
