THE PERFECT FISHERMANS STORE?????

[ROCKHOUND]

I NEED ALL OF YOU TO HELP ME CHOOSE MY INVENTORY!

I'VE GOT A 2500 SQ. FT VACANT STORE FRONT IN A BUILDING THAT I OWN AND AM CONSIDERING OPENING A OUTDOOR STORE WHICH WILL CATER MOSTLY TO THE FISHERMAN. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL EVERYTHING FROM RAIN GEAR TO KNIVES TO SHOES AND SUNGLASSES, CUSTOM LURES AND RODS, ETC. I WANT TO KNOW THE BRANDS THAT YOU GUYS PREFER. WHEN I OPEN I WILL OFFER A NICE DISCOUNT TO ALL SPORTFISHERMAN.COM MEMBERS!!! BY THE WAY THE STORE WILL BE LOCATED IN NORTHEAST, MD AT THE TIP OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

THANKS
TEAM FOUNTAIN "ROCKHOUND"

Dexter Russel knives, Coasta DelMar sunglasses, Shimano, Grundens, Gamagatsu, Compleat Angler, and Pepsi.

[fshsltwtr]

Seaguar Floro, Owner Hooks, St. Croix Rods, a variety of fishing mags/publications, gear bags.

depending on your clientele, i would consider some less expensive or even starter gear for those peeps.

Whatever you do, don't undercut the terminal tackle selection.

Do your homework, see what's selling best in your area, what types of fishing are most prevalant, etc.

Don't Overstock, it's real easy to have a bunch of items that never seem to sell.

Good Luck....... Hope you're a SUCCESS...

Rockhound, been considering the same thing with my brother here locally. Might PM you in the near future to talk a little. A few brands would be of course Shimano, Daiwa(light tackle), Under Armour. Focus on helping the anglers whether being experienced or novice is the best approach in my opinion(meaning seminars, special sales mixed in with those, year long tournaments, etc.)

Shimano penn avet and tibor
St. Croix lamiglas Loomis
Ex officio
Crocs
raymarine-northstar and standard horizon
