Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 yea your right mate if they took the time to employ knowledgable fisho folk instead of who ever walks through the door it might be different but they didnt.and where would you be going station49?

Being surrounded by camping and fishing gear all day would be awesome.i have to agree to a point. I use the one in richmond a lot. its the only fishing shop near me. one of the workers Arthur is from PNG and fishes for game fish from hand carved canoes when he goes home. what that guy hasnt caught from a wooden canoe probably isint worth catching. Fair enough there are some guys in there that know very little or only a selective area. but that all comes in time. most of the staff are young kids barely 20yrs of age. i go in and i know what im after. so i have no worries. id also happily pick up some part time work there if i could. these new places get a bad reputation because they hire younger kids when they first open due to cheaper wages. they offer a different job than supermarket work or fast food. its a learning curve for the workers after that. how many of you guys fish every week? been fishing all your lives? fish in competitions? chances are.. the workers have been only fishing a few times and never fish comps etc. but as their interest grows while working there so will their knowledge. personally.. the worse service ive ever experience in a tackle shop was from one of this sites sponsors. but ive never bought that up nor bagged them out in here for it. and nor will i mention their name so dont bother asking.but thats all beside the point.. this thread is about the new TACKLEWORLD opening up.. not the users on here bagging out BCF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dubs The Tackle Man 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Have heard that my self mate, I know your into your fresh water stuff a bit ore to and they would cater to yourself a bit more too I dare say.Just was curious thats all dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Station49 33 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Yeh they also have a bit of fly gear in there, which i have taken a bit of an interest in lately. I work in the CBD so a quick trip is sometimes made there prior to a night shift. Easy way to do it since i live miles from most tackle shops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan Pix 0 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Don't know which BCF's you guys are going to, but if you head to the one at Noarlunga and speak to either Shane or Jarred(from the tackle department, as there are 2) you will more than likely be surprised at the level of customer service and fishing experience they have.If you head into these stores on the weekend or after work you will probably get their after school staff... which may be your problem.

rocknev 2 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 ive only been to one bcf store... sure ,they didnt know a lot, but then again, i wasnt asking,,, when i go into a fishing shop, I KNOW what i want....i explained to the guy the kind of alvey i was after, and he showed me everything they had... which wasnt what i was after, so i looked at other things.jimmy put me onto a swag from annaconda, same deal... it was on special, and i enjoyed the 50buck saving., if its cheaper, i will buy it.the stores reminds me of supercheap auto actually... the staff have little idea of what they are selling,but same deal... its cheaper, and normally exactly the same as the dearer shops... i know what i want, so i get it and pay for it, pocketing the savings for something else i may need Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rollcast 1 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I also like salted peanuts but the salt on your lips can make your beer go flat.I drink beer in tiny glasses (lots of them) when i'm eating salted peanuts and clean the glass regularly.I also like SALSA and corn chips which does not make my beer go flat.Do they sell salsa and salted peanuts at BCF?Will the new tackle shop sell beer and small glasses?Rollcast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
