Mike S:
I've reintroduced this area. We used to have it before, but I didnt think it was getting enough traffic. I'll try again :)
 
The purpose is two fold:
 
1) It's are area where retailers that frequent the board can keep up abreast of any news or items they wish to share. What's just come in, status of live bait stocks, etc etc. Oziles in Ottawa is a great example that likes to keep us informed of deals in this store.
 
2) Its also a place where customers can recommend a store due to a good experience. It's nice for others to know when you feel you've gotten good value, either by price or by service from a retailer. Let's promote the good experiences!
 
I know for a fact Penny at Rack 'n Reel, and Keith at Innisfile Bait & Tackle pretty much bend over backwards to give their customers great service, and I am happy to promote them and small local stores in  other communities that go out of their way like they do.
 
 
WHAT THIS AREA IS NOT ABOUT:
 
It's not for complaints or negative comments. Lord knows we've all had bad experiences, but I want to focus on the good things, not the bad. Most retailers are honest and hard working to give you what you want, but remember they have to make a buck too. If you're having an issue with a retailer, please take it up with them privately and give them a chance to work it out - they may surprise you as most are working hard to earn your business!
 
regards, Mike.

I like it!
 
I would definately agree with you about Rack n Reel and Innisfil Bait and Tackle.
 
Both stores have been very welcoming, and do their best to offer assistance.
 
I hope both are able to keep their minnow tanks well stocked with large emeralds this winter as I plan to visit them both depending on where I am fishing.

thanks Mike ....this allows has to possibly have our minds jogged every now and then to checkout our local retailers as well as online retailers....especially when we are looking for something special or a need to have now item ....i am not familiar with all of our local retailers as of yet but look forward to dealing with them ....i know Penny at RacknReel has been great and she goes out of her way to help.....like most things i`m looking for, they can `t be found in the big box stores ....too bad we lost our local retailers here in Collingwood and the Beach ,harder to get the time to travel to these retailers .....don`t want to shorten that fishing time .....lol...but when i do its always worth the trip....
