From first catches at Learn to Fish Day to generous gear donations and Pond Stars trade-ins, this week’s stories highlight how our community is helping more anglers get on the water.

Join the community and get ready for an exciting month on the water!

One of the things that makes Sweeney’s Sports special is our community - you spend time outdoors year-round, and you know what gear actually works.

This week at Sweeney’s has been one of those necessary, behind-the-scenes weeks. We’ve been focused on improving how the shop flows

The Boundary series carries a lifetime repair warranty through Grundéns’ Seattle-based service center. If you spring a leak, Grundéns sends you a prepaid label, repairs it in-house, and ships it back in about two weeks. It’s refreshing to see a company build gear designed to be rebuilt, not replaced.

If you’ve been waiting to see what Daiwa has in store for 2026, you’re in for a treat. I just got back from the trade show floor where I had the chance to get hands-on with Daiwa’s brand-new lineup of reels and rods—and let me tell you, some of this gear is going to turn heads.

This Saturday, we’re filming new episodes and inviting four customers to participate. Come shop with Alex (yes, on camera), share your story, and help us tell ours.

Got old rods, reels, or tackle sitting around collecting dust? It's time to give your gear a second cast — and get rewarded in the process.

We’re inviting you behind the scenes at Sweeney’s Sports, where we’ll share the real challenges, hard-won lessons, and the daily chaos — including sunglasses debates and customer curveballs.
