the week before the Bass Pro purchase was announced an employee at my Cabelas told me that word from on high was they had to eliminate 30% of the SKU's. That demand of taking a chainsaw to stock was why they got rid of Mustad hooks and many others. I don't know if this was to make the sellout to Bass Pro look better or just a strategic decision but when I walk in a cabelas anymore it becomes very clear early on that they make their money on clothing and everything else in there they don't mind tossing in the wastebin.
