I ordered a US Reels Supercaster on-line from Cabellas and Ive been to the store. I only ordered it from them because I had a gift card from hotel points and they had the reel. I've been in the store several times (in Maine) and I find the staff has ZERO knowledge. I found a transom saver in thier Bargain Cave and had to explain to the sales guy what it was.
And I dont mean "what is a transom saver", I mean "what is a transom?"
Although, I got the saver in a damaged box in the Bargain Cave for $22 (reg. $69), so you take the good/bad...
