What store has a nice selection of lures?

[Moparpride]

I just moved up here recently and now that I know where to fish, I'd like to know where to buy some nice trolling lures. I don't know id there are any stores with an extremely wide selection but I'm looking for bang tails and something like thomas spoons. I don't remember seeing walmart with these the last time I went and Joes is pretty much depleted of anything and everything. If anyone knows of a good store or website let me know, preferably with free shipping because I don't want to spend 6 dollars on shipping for a 3 dollar lure haha.


Oh yeah, and I'm in Eugene.

fishermans in Oregon City used to have a great selection all the time. since the recession, its been a while since they stocked the shelves, theres always Sportsmans, and my favorite first stop - Bi-Mart.

Fishermans Marine Supply........Bi Mart.........Cabelas on line Bass Pro Shop. Those are a few.

BiMart...

BiMart...

For local access I use BiMart, nice selection and reasonable prices. If you are not strapped for time then Cabelas is the place. Great service and quality products..Plus they are a sponsor of OFF (see left hand margins).

In Eugene, all we've got left with decent prices and selection is Bi-Mart, since Joe's demise, they've increased their selection even further.

the "bargain cave" section of cabelas.com is always worth a look.

with GI joes going under do they have anything much left? i keep looking at the back of my fishing booklet and seeing the ad and wonder what it will be next year, it has been Gi joes for as long as i can remember.

joes signs say "after 50 years, closing for good".
Their shalves have been hit HARD. atleast the one up here has pretty barren shelves.

In the Eugene/Springfield area, we're severely limited locally. Thanks to the internet you can order pretty much anything, but shipping is usually outrageous, and will be going up next week. I really wish something new would open up, but I don't foresee that happening unfortunately. Hopefully I'm wrong!

I actually just finished poking around the internet and decided to go with basspros.com, I got 7 lures for around 28 bucks including shipping and that's pretty good I think. Got a few Thomas lures a few roostertails and a spinner so I'm happy for the time being, and yeah Joe's was hit HARD. There is nothing left on the selves but the junk that isn't worth 30% off. I did get a pretty nice crankbait (was the last one) but other than that I couldn't even get swivels.

Bi-Mart and walmart have good cheap lures but for a better selection but an pricer selection go to jasper store. They have lures you can't find in town.

I've heard that 2 Bros tackle in Eugene is pretty good (although I've never been in there) Does anybody have any input on that?

2 bros is good, but they have limited hours (or they used to, that may have changed). They're a bit pricey on some things, but they can also special order anything you want, and the service there is always good. They also do reel cleaning and repair for a very reasonable price.

2 Bros is great, the customer service is awesome and I personally will pay a little higher prices for better help. That is the main reason I will never set foot in another wal-mart as long as I live. But I think they are actually comparable to what Joe's ( who should have kept the GI in their name) was like if not a little better as the price thingy goes.

I'm pretty sure moparpride isn't talking about shops not in the eugene/springfield. Personally I wouldn't drive all the way up to Portland just to buy a few lures. I still stand by jasper store but the trick is to build up a decent collection of tackle and just buy a lure or two every time you pass through to get the ones you can't find in town.

I wonder if Panther Martins are still on sale at Bi-Mart?

It's all good, I do pass through portland every now and then. I'm actually gonna be going though portland in a few weeks because I'm taking a plane out of of town instead of driving this time. I'll try to leave a little earlier so I can maybe check one out.
