What do those carry Hog?

Soddy Tackle is like a mini Bass Pro. They carry the most of any local tackle I have ever seen.Union Fork is not much more than store.

Go to stop sing,turn left at stop sing Bate shop will be on right. He has good size minnors $.90 doz. stays open to 6.o.clock 7days aweek. some ods and ends other stuff. He's a good man, aweek ago I left Trion at 5:30 and called him asked if he would stay open till I got there at and he did. There isn't a name on the fence , just a sing that reads Bateshop

I suggest someone call the cricket farm in Bradley Co and the minnow farm in McMinn Co (North Mouse creek/bell springs???) to see who they distribute too.

If one of you will compile a clean consolidated list of ramps & bait shops, including phone numbers, addresses, and a google map link for each and email it to me then I'll be happy to create a web page for CFF with all that info and link to it from the CFF links page.

 

[SpurHunter]

THanks David, I was hoping to do that after we get as many stores and info on them as possible. </p>

I will notify you when we get done. I think it will be a great resource for members. </p>

 

[DHaun]

Sounds good Spur - Good idea!

 

[SpurHunter]

Still looking for any additional info we can get on this subject.
