Other tackle store besides TW

[snake95]

Won't solve your search for a site with large selection, but worth adding to the list since they have had some great deals on hardbaits and their prices are often good.  Their service has been good the couple of times I've ordered from them.

Used to shop at Basspro/Cabelas in the past but TWH (Tacklewarehouse) has taken the cake.

 

They have everything that I need and always buy during the sales

Fisherman’s central in Ohio. Great people, great prices, great customer service.

I try to buy local as much as possible, we have a great place in town and their prices are on par with big box stores (Cabelas and Sportsmans Warehouse) Only downside is they're sold out of very popular stuff at times. Otherwise, I use Ebay, TW and Amazon a lot.

The factory outlet of Pure Fishing. Sometimes has good deals on Abu, Fenwick, Pflueger and some other brands. 

I have used them and I do like them (great savings) BUT their selection is not what I'd call stellar.  If you are willing to compromise or just luck into the specific items/colors you want, it's a great shop.

OUt pro had more colors in my jigs then TW. And they have same free ship over $50. Even though they sent me 2 wrong things out of 20 items.... I will let you know how they resolve it...

Things have changed at FFO, it seems.  For a number of years, they had great selection of recent year models as the Fenwicks and Abu's brought out new stuff.  I've got at least a half dozen rods from them, but it has been nearly a year since I've seen anything there that got me excited. 

   For example, Sierra was closing out Fantasista Regista for $150, but FFO is still asking north of $300.

For all of your Zoom products and colors, plus special runs and Zoom baits headed to South Africa and Japan, contact Fred at http://virginiaguidebaitco.com/

 

Check out their catalog.

 

Their prices are in line with the tackle shops but they have all of the colors and styles you would ever want.

* +1 - best kept secret for Zoom baits in rare colors !! ... Nice folks too .

Have bought lots of lures from Ebay and Amazon, especially lures that are hard to find in the local tackle shops by my house. Most of the time I get the lures at a lower price than shopping in the local tackle shops with free shipping. Have bought other fishing gear from other countries and so far I am happy with my purchases.

I've pretty much stopped buying from both stores as well. They usually don't have all of what I need, if they do have it it's marked up, and it's a decent drive to get to the nearest one.

On some of my previous post on this thread I had retracted some statements I wrote about tackle direct and their customer services because we were trying to fix an issue I was having with a curado k that I had purchased, so I went threw the exchange process on my own dime for the shipping and they sent me another reel or the same reel. The box had no seal and the reel wasn’t even in bubble wrap the worst part about it is that the problem I was having with the thumb bar not engaging properly was still having that problem. The reel was greased up good and oiled I presume they did a quick serving to it and resent it? But I’m pretty disappointed with them and I will only go threw TW from here on out Or eBay ...  I’m keeping the reel have one of my guys check it out and fix it I don’t want to hassle with them. I don’t recommend them! this is just my opinion and experience with them. You like them that’s cool, but I will never order from them again!

I'm a bit confused. First you retract the above statement about Tackle Warehouse.... Then in the lower statement you say your only gonna use Tackle Warehouse exclusively. What gives?  Am I missing something?  Tackle Warehouse is tops in my book. The ONLY issue I've ever had was waiting too long to order and they ran out of the baits I was gonna order. But, ultimately, that was on me..

He's saying in both statements that he only shops TW now.

[greentrout]

Here in the local area the independent saltwater tackle shops are doing OK...not the fresh...gone except on or very near the lakes and reservoirs in small towns...OK in those settings....

 

good fishing...

I've started using Presley Outdoors (https://www.presleysoutdoors.com/).  Some of their everyday prices are downright ridiculous (example: Original Zara Spook for $3.99) and with certain lures you automatically get free shipping.  Even if you only order one.

In that previous retracted statement I was agreeing with @Burke and basically talking about talkle directs bad customer services.............. I feel like they treat you like your just trying to rip them off or something instead of helping you they are on the fence about helping you with return exchanges.

 

What I’m saying is only tw or Alf on eBay I wanted to try tackle direct and my personal experience was not good don’t recommend.

TW says they will match price, but when matching price they don't give you the military discount.  Earlier this yr I found a helix10 for $50 less than TW had the same model. TW said they would match, I asked for Military discount and was denied I stated then why should I buy it from you.  Person said he was sorry that was the policy.  So I bought it from the other place.  Just didn't seem very fair to me.  Lately been buying most of my products from Tackle Supply Depot.
