BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 28, 2024 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 28, 2024 It is with immense pride that we announce our latest partner, Vantage Tackle – a pioneering platform dedicated to featuring the finest tackle from independent custom manufacturers across the United States. Vantage Tackle is a celebration of the artistry and passion that small business owners, with their extensive on-the-water experience, pour into each piece of premium fishing gear. Founder Terry Thorton's relentless search for distinctive tackle sparked the vision for Vantage Tackle – a haven for custom, standout baits from creators who weave their fishing lore into every product. Transforming this vision into reality was a Herculean task. He faced the challenges of curating products from various custom makers, navigating inventory management, overcoming technical hurdles, and aligning his business model with a growing number of manufacturers. Launched on November 22nd, Vantage Tackle now proudly represents 26 independent companies and is on a steady path to welcome more. This platform is not merely a marketplace; it is a community-driven celebration of independent custom tackle manufacturers’ artistry, passion, and expertise. Join us in welcoming Vantage Tackle that is by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. I invite you to explore their website, connect with the stories of our custom makers, and discover tackle that speaks to your fishing soul. https://vantagetackle.com 14 2 Quote

Super User Swamp Girl Posted January 28, 2024 Super User Posted January 28, 2024 Vantage has cool lures. Sigh. This means I'll be ordering some. Quote
garroyo130 Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Yup stuff looks good. But there's nothing I hate more than a shopify website ... eew Quote
Terry_ Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 Thank you for the warm introduction Glenn! And thank you all for welcoming me to the community! From the beginning, I knew that if an upstart company such as Vantage Tackle was going to be successful, I would need the support of the strongest, most centralized group of bass fisherman on the web. I look forward to the comradery, advice, and knowledge sharing that Bass Resource has long been known for, and I am honored that Glenn and his team have given me the opportunity to be a part of this family. Sincerely, Terry Thornton 13 Quote

Super User T-Billy Posted January 29, 2024 Super User Posted January 29, 2024 Welcome aboard Vantage. I just bookmarked your site. This is great to see. One of the things I've enjoyed as I've gotten into muskie fishing is the cottage industry aspect of it. The majority of musky baits are built by small companies right here in the U.S.A. I wish you success and look forward to shopping your site. 2 Quote

I hope we can become the platform that the small batch independent guys can utilize to be competitive and gain recognition. I am always looking for more to work with. If you have some favorites, please share the site with them, there is a drop down box in the "contact us" menu for potential manufacturers to reach out. I would love to see what they have to offer!
