369.0. "Where are the tackle shops in MASS" by AYOV25::DBROWN () Mon Apr 11 1994 08:41

    Hello Everyone,
                   I am going to be over in the Mill(MLO) sometime within
    the next few weeks. I know that fishing tackle is a lot cheaper over
    there so, I want to take this as an oppertunity to renew some of my
    gear. The last time I was there I only found a spots shop in SHOPPERS
    WORLD which was decidedly average. What I would like to get is an ABU
    6500C (or CT) and possibly an Eagle fish finder.
    
     Can enyone tell me where the best tackle shops are..??? (salt water
    tackle)
    
    thanks
    Dougie

369.3FAIR & SPAGSCAPL::LANDRY_DWarbirds 1939-1945Mon Apr 11 1994 13:5214
	I agree with Jim on these two places.
	I prefer THE FAIR with SPAGS very close second.
	I thought THE FAIR was in Shrewsbury but Grafon is next town over
	and they all look alike around these parts anyway ;^)

	I'll send you a crude map via VAX mail

	Also how long are you in neighborhood?

	The FishTeaser launched 2-Apr and is ready for second voyage.
	Your welcomed aboard to wet your new tackle on this side of the pond.
	Not much fish around but it's the thought that counts ;^)

	I thought the Fair was in Worcester...   

	fwiw, they had less stock than Spag's a week ago as far as salt 
	water rods go.

	Maybe the reason they have less stock is it sold for less $$$ ;^)

	;-)  Could be!  If that's the case, and they sold out already,
	then I guess I missed the boat.

	I figured I'd end up at that tackle shop in Franklin anyway to
	get one built.  One of these daze.

	I had a custom boat rod (trolling/bottom) built way back in the
	mid 70's and to this day is still my favorite rod whenever I use it :^)

	Where is this place?
	Just in case ;^)

I haven't seen anything I like, anywhere, so custom might be the only option.
Maybe I'll learn to build one myself rather than pay for the labor.  There's
nothing like getting what you really want, like the cod rod I have.  Took me
months to find it, and it was expensive, but it sure has been worth it.
