It's right next to the marina I keep my boat, and they have what I need for the most part. They do the online thing too which helps in knowing the selection ahead of time. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed - great staff and certainly well stocked. Also, Rivers End in Old Saybrook. Lots of inventory. Edited January 4 by CTnewbie 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #11 Posted January 5 · Report post I got the saragosa sw 2020 from JandB. I think they were the first to get em...they posted it on IG and I called em to order it. As they didn't even have it on their site. Even took paypal over the phone. I hear they are a spectacular shop all around 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #12 Posted January 5 · Report post Fishermans World is my local shop. They've got a great selection along with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The Surfcaster in Stratford (although online only) is also great. I've spoken with the owner a few times and ordered a bunch of stuff. Saltwater Edge in RI is great. I just got a shipment today from them. Then you've got J&H in Long Island and Fishermans Headquarters in NJ. 2 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

· #15 Posted January 9 (edited) · Report post I used to spend the majority of my money at Rivers End but will have to rethink that after one of their long time employees was part of the mob in Washington this past week.
