Yeah, I guess mine does say on the way. But almost a week later after getting that email, and they still haven't shipped it? Like you, I'm not in a hurry either. But having never ordered directly from them before, I'm not sure what exactly to expect. So the irritating part is them not answering their phone (called multiple times and there's no voicemail option even), emailed them and even sent message through Facebook Messenger. And nothing. 

 

Their shop is about 45 minutes from my house. I've e-mailed them a couple of times in the past asking if I could stop by when I'm in the area and buy direct from the source but they don't answer. I dunno. 

 

I looked up my last order from them, which was in September of this year, and it took 4 days from placement to delivery.

Sounds like customer service is definitely lacking. Perhaps something that happens always, or maybe even more right now if they are overwhelmed with orders! I love to support the small guys, but also struggle when the customer service is tough...

 

Despite some of these good sales, we always have the option of what retailers we like to work with based on many things such as customer service. I suppose you could have bought the same Grande Bass baits from Tackle Warehouse, but maybe at a higher price, etc (even though they did have a 20% off black Friday sale...)

 

Anyways, I hope everyone gets their Grande order direct and things work out! 

 

Side note, I called Dobyns rod direct yesterday and they immediately picked up the phone and I had a nice convo with a human. Always been happy with Dobyns!

8 days later (from label has been printed) my email response I got was, "We had a popular color in production but you will receive your order very soon."  SO... they print your label when they haven't made the plastics yet!! ? Mine are supposed to be here tomorrow.  whatever

[Johnbt]

I'd guess they have a small crew and the folks who know how to make baits, well, they all work on making baits. Someone who doesn't know how to make baits, prints labels. Could be a part-timer or a volunteer neighbor or relative, or even a kid home from college for Christmas, etc.

 

If the crew has to finish the bait making before they start to print a couple of hundred labels - or a thousand? - it's just going to take that much longer to pack it all up and ship it.

Ordered a Fenwick Elite Bass 610MLXF spinning rod.  Maybe it will mimic the coveted Smallmouth Series from a few years back!

I just got mine. Just glad it came in one piece.

Berkley sure hooked me with these codes. Today they have buy 3 get 1 free on their hardbaits and it stacks with the 50% off code BELK50. Turns out to be 62.5% off and I couldn't pass up that deal to try some money badgers, stunnas and spy baits.

Anyone have the new 50 code?

I just went as far as checkout, and used BELK50 and it applied the 50% off. Didn’t finish checking out because I’m not done yet.

Just when I thought I was out… you dragged me back in.. still waiting on the first order to ship. I’ve been using these sales to buy things I don’t usually throw, I consider it sample pricing.

My Tuesday orders from Pure Fishing  arrived an hour ago. The original tracking info said next Tuesday for both of them, then they both changed on UPS to before 9 p.m. tonight. Noon works for me.

 

The Fenwick Elite Inshore 7' HF spinning rod looks great and is reasonably dainty - for a 3/4 to 3 oz saltwater rod. And no leaks in the box of Gulp and Gulp Alive saltwater baits.

 

The rod came in a box, but inside it was zip tied to a full-length L-shaped piece of high tech, high density, synthetic looking cardboard of some sort.

(I know tubes can be broken in half by the freight companies, one of them broke a heavy cardboard tube into 2 separate pieces a few years ago, but did NOT break the Conquest 844C inside. The tackle shop told me that the freight companies look upon plastic pipe tubes as a real challenge to their ability to mangle things.    If they get sideways on the conveyors they can break anything it appears without having to drive over them with a forklift or truck.)

Yeah...saw that rod 'box' when @jrob78 posted his zenon.  My first zenon arrived and I was kinda impressednby their 'system' of rod shipping.  I have ordered an embarrasing amount of stuff from pure fishing this week.  

[OG Crankster]

Glad your rods arrived safely. Im still in an email battle with Pure Fishing over mine. Been a huge pain so far.

 

Just tried BELK50 on some hard baits and it's saying invalid code

[Johnbt]

I tried it on 4 Berkley Warpigs about 20 minutes ago and it took the price from $36 down to $13 and change. I didn't buy them, I was just checking. Buy 3 get one free and then the BELK50 code.

 

I'm still shopping.

At least you got them to respond.  I emailed them after they sent me the wrong rod and they won't respond.

[5by3]

They must have taken down the BELK50 code. Didn’t work for me just now

[Ppennin986]

It worked for me just 5 minutes ago

Hmm I tried to buy some stunnas with it… wonder if it doesn’t work with them

I tried it with 4 slibberknockers also and it didn’t work. Maybe there’s some kind of restriction by state? I’m really not sure

[Ppennin986]

Yea weird???

Just ordered about $140 worth of baits from Purefishing. It came up to $42 when I checked out. Crazy. Jigs were around $1.75. Happy Fishmas to me.

 

 

[suzuki2903]

Belk50 just worked for some slobber knockers and war pigs for me a couple minutes ago!  With that code , there’s some really good deals 

[Tackleholic]

Just ordered 12 hardbaits from Pure Fishing;  $47.56 plus tax w/free shipping.  25% off plus BELK50 for another 50% off.  Most stocks are running out.  Surprised they are discontinuing Dredgers.

[KP Duty]

Haven't received all my stuff yet, but the power swimmers are nice..
