365swimbait Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Heading up there this weekend. Are there any tackle shops worth visiting that carry a decent variety of swimbaits? Wouldnt mind buying a hudd as a souvenir. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrocephalic Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Nope. But seriously, if you find one, please post up about it. I've searched to no avail. Swimbaits are still really low key up here... Bass are generally looked at as trash fish compared to salmon, at least with people I encounter. Fish and game surveys show only about 25% of anglers ever target then here. basskickinrednick and 365swimbait 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebeardedbassman Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Im down in Medford and found some Hudds at Sportsmans Warehouse. Didn't have many, but I bought them all. Maybe you'll get lucky and find some up that way. I believe there's still a Sportsmans on 82nd? 365swimbait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skintimate Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 yep same here in Washington. Everyone is about trout salmon and steelhead. On the west side in WA there is Limit Out Performance Marine in Algona/Pacific. Every time I'm in there they have a few Swimbaits. But I agree with you... Everyone is all about salmon/steelhead. basskickinrednick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydrocephalic Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 The sportsman's Warehouse on NW Tanasbourne / NW 185th has only traditional tackle, no swimbaits there, FYI. Haven't been to the other location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burritoboiii Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 No swimbaits that I know of here in Portland. Its crazy how obsessed people are with Salmon/Steelhead up here. I bought a new cranking reel from a shop in Tillamook and the guy asks if I'm gonna use it for a drift rig. I tell him no I fish for bass. Dude legit gives me the stink eye like I'm some kind of weirdo. hydrocephalic, basskickinrednick and Skintimate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
