[quote StacyR][quote flygoddess] Cabela's their hands are tied. They can only carry what corp tells them. They can special order individual orders, but not stock the store.[/quote]
Where did you get this information from? A couple of ago someone I talked to a lot behind the fishing counter at the Boise store got promoted to department manager. I talked to him about some some jigs the store carried, but not in the sizes or colors I wanted. He said he would take care of it, and lo and behold several weeks later they were on the shelves. Unless this is a fairly recent development, store management does have some leeway on what they keep in stock.[/quote]
This was an item they DID carry, just a size thing, simple fix. But if you found a Lure they do not carry even if it is a big label name, and they would not be able to carry it. It must go through corporate. If one store carries it, it must be available to all the stores.
