In the past, I’ve typically bought my tackle from Tackle Warehouse that had one of the best collection of tackle options. But right now, they are really pissing me off - I’m still waiting for some backorders from an April orders and twice they’ve told me that it would ship & it didn’t.
If I found another place that offered the same broad tackle options, I would leave TW in a heartbeat 😡

I usually get my stuff from Academy, or Walmart

BPS and Cabelas mostly, but they have had shipping issues a couple months ago. Seems to be OK now,last order was Tuesday night,got everything by yesterday. Jann's Netcraft is another that I use,especially for terminal tackle. They also have a lot for DIY lure and sinker making or rebuilding.

Don't go to ultimatefishingequipmentonline. I saw where they had a Kastking Brutus reel for $82. I thought that sounded like a decent reel to send to my young nephew. Found it elsewhere for $33. Maybe not such a good reel. Not such a good deal.

Thanks, Fred!
I know that Cabelas doesnt have a great selection at the store & are a little more expensive but I haven’t checked their on-line options recently but I should do that 👍

Red A. I am not making a case for your tackle supplier, but you have to remember that with the covid-19 epidemic, there are kinks everywhere. No matter whom you used, you could easily see an snafu in their shipping schedule. I don't have a good answer to your problem, but just be aware. Just Sayin...RJS

Yeah Red,I just ordered 8or9 things from Bass Pro and 3or4 of them had Cabelas inventory stickers on them. So they are improving,and getting more stuff out in a timely manner. Good luck.

Thanks, Robert!
I’m very aware and understand the potential for COVIDVshipping delays. What I don’t understand is twice since my April backorder, they told me that they had my lures and would ship them. And both times, they just plain didn’t do it and I had to initiate another request to get them to ship - and then, I think that they shipped by 7 day post.
I took care of customers for 30 years and that’s just not acceptable 😡

I frequent multiple tackle shops in my search for equipment. The Covid-19 has affected the dock workers who unload the various ships who carry the tackle from overseas. About 92% of all fishing tackle comes from abroad. This is the main reason suppliers cannot fill their shelves. Web sites such as discount tackle, dirty jigs, academy sports, Joe bass tackle, and bass pro have different amounts of various items. You just have to shop around. Tackle warehouse has been a great supplier for me over the years and I personally cannot slam them. Call their customer service, they are easy to work with.

Thanks, Howard!
Have you bought any lures on Wish?
Name brands or knockoffs?
I took a look there but I’m pretty cautious in signing up to on-line sites that I don’t know.
