too bad, seems like ever since they moved into the new store they struggled. I cant imagine how much coin they would have to bring in a month just to cover the lease.

really a shame.  i never had a bad experience at their store and always found that they were a great and helpful place to stop by.

 It was my favorite place to go. Very friendly & helpful group of guys. Hope they do better wherever they end up.

goes beyond that...there were personal issues that toppled their business.

Am I the only one thought that Reaction was terrible fishing store.  Regadless if they were nice guys or not, they never had what I was looking for.  I gave them a few chances, everytime I left disappointed, so I stopped spending my money there.

I agree with Chum, most of the guys were decent. However, there was an incident where I waited two months for an exchange on a hoodie. Then I couldn't make it there for two days (after waiting two months) and the owner flipped out.  On top of him telling me he has better things to spend money on then fishing licenses. Freds is the go to place anyway

Small store, was never overly impressed by the selection or prices. Everyone has their bad days but I had talked to someone 'less than friendly' on a number of occasions. No big loss in my eyes.

Hub Sports was bought out by the owner of Belles Sports from Mission a couple years ago. They bought all the inventory from Reaction this time around-I guess one less competition for him.

There's a pretty lengthy discussion on this at http://forum.flybc.ca/index.php?showtopic=35804 so some may want to read that as well.

Unfortunately it already did not look good for the store when its advertising was unpaid for and ceased on the website just after its move. The original smaller store was excellent and I was very excited for its growth.

My sympathy to Terry and at the same time looking forward to whatever new projects he decides to start up again. :)
