Quick Question

[Doug10]

I was just wondering where all the tackle stores like, bass pro, ***, tackledirect and so on....where do they get all there tackle from? Do they go directly to the companies or is there some kind of middle man? If there is a middle man, does anybody no who? Thanks

If i had to guess i would imagine they get it straight from the manufacturer. Least thats how it was when i worked retail many years ago. Thats my thoughts anyway.

Im guessing your looking to cut past the retailers and go to the middle man huh?

Thanks guys! Well I am thinking about starting my own online tackle business. Something I have always wanted to do. I know it takes a lot of work, and there are so many other companies out there already. But I figure if I do not try it now then I will never try. So that is why I am trying to figure out where to get all the products from. I contacted tackle warehouse. They said they get it direct from the tackle companies. So I have emailed a few companies already. Only heard back from shimano so far. They said they do not sell to online companies right now, they said you need a physical retail store. Which I will eventually do, but I figured I would just start off as a website first. Anybody with any other info would be great! thanks

Just emailed Azuma baits to see if I can get them, i have never tried them, but they look great. They seem to be a little expensive? Thank you for the recommendation!

They're 12 a piece. Bur if you lose one and send them a copy of the reciept they send you a new one, and you just pay shipping.
