went to effingers today
« on: May 02, 2012, 03:44:49 PM »
well couldn't do much work today due to the weather.  Just happened to be in the vacinity of effingers...... ;D and since planning on flukin on sunday thought i'd pop in and take a look.  Went to replenish some lost jigs and found that they are sold out of some items and running low on others....guess a lot of people have the itch clp

still managed to walk out with some 6 oz SPROs, assorted sinkers and even picked up a few stretch 25s and two other lures.  Before i knew it my wallet was 90 bucks lighter thud

that place reminds me of a kid in a candy shop

effingers is actually a pretty cool spot.  They have a lot of fly tying supplies.

Effingers is pretty close to me.  Great stock, terrible prices.

I will say this area (somerset county) is desperately needing a Dick's Sporting Goods nearby.  Effinger's is really the only place to go in the area and their prices are damn near criminal.  Hell, the clip on line counter I bought was $3 more than Rapala's suggested retail price.  Their Stretch 25's are $4 more than most B&T's around the Raritan.  Some competition in the area would really be a good thing.

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

There's a dicks is the Woodbridge mall not far from the parkway.  The dicks in Princeton is better in my opinion.  Items were a I'll scattered but overall I think the fishing selection was better.  I tend to use The Tackle Box on 36 when I go fishing but when I'm in Florida (right now), I go to dicks cause there are coupons for $10 off $50 everywhere.

I got to efingers to look but the only things I've bought there lately were a couple butterfly jigs just to test out and they were the only place I found that had them and was not out of the way. The price wasn't  that bad on them.  They were notorious for high priced everything but I noticed that's coming down a bit.  If you really want to see a candy shop and lighten up that wallet, check out Tackle Direct down the parkway around egg harbor.  Decent pricing, great customer service and a vast selection of products.  Just make sure you have the wife's/gf's blessing before you go. Lol
