I'm lucky.... There is a sporting goods shop with a serviceable selection of gear and tying supplies less than 5 miles from my house and, what I would consider my "home shop" is maybe 20 miles down the road. I can get there in 25 minutes and my job takes me right past it once a week. Much to my wife's chagrin.

My home shop might be the best in the midwest. I have been to a number of them. These guys have a national following, a reputable staff and a great selection of everything you might need. I support them any time I can.
