Where To Buy 2024


fishing user avatarrangerboy reply : 

its that time of year again, and would like to spend some of my tax money on new gear. ive always been a bass pro shops boy, and until two days ago my freind from san luis obispo told me about tacle warehouse. news to me, maybe im living under a rock, but this place looks to have everything bps has at good prices as well. any thoughts. we all work hard to enjoy the things we have and it would be nice to get the best bang for the buk.  thanks, dave

Yeah, tackle warehouse is good, I also like to shop at Dick's. Dick's has a lot of great products at great prices. (At least the one near me does.) I get all my stuff there.


fishing user avatarTeal reply : 

If you look on the right side of this page there are some awesome sponsor sites that sell very good products.


fishing user avatartbone1993 reply : 

**Tackle**Warehouse has a great selection focused on bass only. At bass pro you will find everything under the sun.  The only time i use BPS is for feeling reels before I buy them somewhere else or if I am given a gift card.  Free shipping on orders over $50 at  TW is also a plus also they have pretty good sale items, BPS sales tend to be things no one wants.

will do, all the sponsor links look great, bps has never done me wrong, just nice to see new stuff as well


fishing user avatarflippin and pitchin reply : 

I wish I had never learned about Tackle Warehouse. One of the best, if not the best selections anywhere. Prices are good to very good and the service and shipping is unmatched in my book. They carry Northstar, Mega Strike, Pinnacle and Rage by the way so you can support those sponsors indirectly.


fishing user avatarrangerboy reply : 

nice, been thinking about a new g-loomis rod, hear good things about the top water rod


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

About 75% of what I buy comes from Tackle Warehouse, the rest from the chain stores in the local area Gander Mtn., Dicks, Wal marts,etc... and if we are out that way Bass Pro shops. I would buy more locally if I could, but there are just not many (that I know about) locally owned and operated tackle shops that actually have what I would want, or use.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

TW is where I get anything I can't get at the local Bass Pro. My wife works at BPS in Olathe, KS so I get a discount on everything, up to 40% on their brands of gear. Pretty tough for anyone to beat baits at almost half price :)


fishing user avatarTuckahoe Joe reply : 

I haven't order from TW yet but the next time I need something thats where Im going.  BPS shipping prices are based on how much your order costs.  Not how much it weighs.  Plus they charge and extra 6 bucks for rods 6 feet and over.  TW is free for orders $50 or more and you can upgrade it to 2-day for 5 bucks.

i see a move and a job application in my future. lol


fishing user avatarShewillbemine reply : 

I'm a research ***** and for the money, you can't beat Tackle Warehouse prices. Perhaps the only thing would be ebay or Craigslist but neither of those give you a selection.

 

It's sad for local retail stores but I have learned that all of their equipment is marked up significantly and cannot compete with online shopping. The only time I'll buy anything in person is if I need something in a bind, like if I lose a lure the day before and want the same pattern the following day.

Very lucky man!--if my wife worked at BPS she would probably never bring any money home if you know what I mean!!! :happy-138:


fishing user avatarwebertime reply : 

The number of free stickers around the house from $50 TW orders is staggering .


fishing user avatartugsandpulls reply : 

i like dicks this time of year they have the clearence sales and i like bps in the spring


fishing user avatarrangerboy reply : 

i dont think we have any dicks this side of ca. but ive seen the adds on tv. both cabelas and bps are over an hour from here. gotta like the clearence bins. some times its like hitting the lotto.


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Each has their ups and downs. I can get certain things from each place that the others dont have. Also, each has different sales.


fishing user avatarWarEagleBassin reply : 

Can't beat Tackle Warehouse in my opinion. They have great prices, stuff on sale that you will actually use, and great shipping prices. I buy almost everything there. I have also gotten a few free t-shirts with my orders.


fishing user avatarBassThumb reply : 

Any of the major online retailers that offer occasional 10-20% off sales and free shipping on orders over $50-75 will see my business.


fishing user avataraceman387 reply : 

Tackle warehouse for me also.The only time i go to bps is if i get gift cards for the holidays or an emergency outage.


fishing user avatarfowlskies reply : 

Cabelas is another good site to order from, and their return policy is top notch.  I ordered a few things the other week, it came in and one of the swimbaits had a couple small chips in it.  I called their customer service and they sent me a new one and told me to keep the other one, no questions asked.  Hard to beat that customer service.

 

They have a great selection and bargain bin and their shipping is usually free for over $99.  If you google Cabelas coupons you can find deals like free shipping over $49 or $20 off orders of $100-$150.

 

TW is a great site with great selection like mentioned, not sure how their customer service is though.  I have never had an issue with any orders from them.


fishing user avatarTC235 <*))))>< reply : 

Tackle Warehouse all the way!!


fishing user avatarFishin24/7 reply : 

I usually order tackle warehouse but bass tackle depot doesn't have much of a selection but, they run sales quite often. They had a 25% off everything sale a couple weeks ago.


fishing user avatarSilas reply : 

Tackle Warehouse, with its wide selection of fishing gear and Bass Tackle Depot, with its timely sales.......and both with outstanding customer service (I've had personal calls from both of them) have spoiled me for Bass Pro, with its seemingly inflated prices, and as another forum member puts it......sales on stuff people don't want.

 

    Bass Pro is 25 miles away....so, time, gas, taxes, and retail prices have done them in for me.  (I've had good food at their Islamorada Restaurant, but not consistent....NOW you have to ASK for the fresh baked bread....the waitress told me that's how they save money...used to be served before each meal, complimentary)

 

The other 2 are a computer click away, no taxes, sometimes no shipping charges.....great service. 

 

I believe in 10 years, ONLINE stores will decimate storefronts and make them almost obsolete. 

 

And, of course, the sponsors here....Bobby at Megastrike, along with our Jig sponsors...have made shopping for fishing tackle actually "pleasant."

Yup! We actually sell all the products we feature in our boxes in our online baitshop: http://mysterytacklebox.com/shop We definitely don't have the selection of Tackle Warehouse, but we do have great prices and $2 shipping on any order (and free shipping on orders over $50). We don;t have rods and reels right now though. Just baits. And our selection grows every month as we feature more baits.

I was unaware you also sold baits, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, lots of people don't realize we also sell the baits we feature. We are trying to improve that communication so people know. Even going to start putting something a little fun in boxes starting next month to help people save a little $ on our bait shop in a fun way. Stay tuned.


fishing user avatarkickerfish1 reply : 

TW, thehookuptackle, and the tackletrap see 90% of my business. We have a BPS, Cabelas, Dicks, and Scheels but they have very limited selection and their sales are typically pretty specific, whereas the first 3 have more % off type of sales that allow me to purchase what I want at a discounted price, rather then settling for only a select few items.


fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

IMHO there is another online retailer out of Ohio that has some good stuff at good prices, and saltwater gear too. Tackle warehouse sometimes is too limited on colors and brands and sometimes more expensive than this other website. Also gander is free shipping so for terminal tackle or restocking I order there just because no shipping no driving lol. I will deffinately check MTB out because $2 shipping isn't bad either.


fishing user avatarrangerboy reply : 

mtb. sweet deal, i see a box for fathers day this year. i keep leaving the page up on my computor


fishing user avatarsoccplayer07 reply : 

TW is the best by far. Amazing customer service and great prices. They also have a few sales a year. The next one is the Classic sale.
