Preferred Catalog order tackle store

swordfish123 · 02-15-2006, 08:26 PM

Hey ya'll, of course, I now order everything I can from my good man Tek at Reel Pro Shop, but in the past I have dealt with a lot of mail order catalogs to get my tackle and now when i need some hard to find items...

I've listed all the big names that I can think of. I'd like to know what your favorite catalog/store is and why. Selection, Prices, Service, Knowledge etc

Thanks!

I like face to face sales. The cats are a good source for info on products but I like to ask questions about what I am buying. Outdoor world has a big selection but the knowledge of the help has changed since it opened. I try to use smaller local shops when I can. There knowledge of the local fishing is worth the few extra bucks you may spend. If you dont use your local shops they will not be there when you need them :!: This would be like ' I cant go swording tonight because I didn't have time to mail order my squid :shock: We all like to save money on the big stuff but use your local shop when you can.

agreed.

i forgot to add that i am asking the question to compare their marketing and catalogs/websites becuase we are studying that kind of stuff right now in class and it just got me curious.. thats is more my aim here

and yes, the local shops are the best.

Free shipping :!: That would make the difference to me on which catalog I would order from. All the prices in cats are close but I would feel better if I did not have to pay the shipping. I feel I could get a better deal face to face with someone so if I got free shipping it would make me feel better
