Bulk Buying

Buying in bulk is not just for companies. Individual anglers should consider this if they fish a lot ... or if they have trouble finding what they want to use to fish with.

There are several advantages:

1) You save money per item when buying in bulk;

2) You are less likely to run out at a crucial time, such as right before a tournament or while on vacation somewhere remote;
3) You would have a good stock of an item you really like, knowing it will probably be discontinued and you may never be able to find it again.
That last reason is a biggie. Have you ever noticed that when you find something that you really like that, most likely, it gets discontinued? Usually right before you are ready to go out and buy a whole bunch of them. How does that happen? You liked it, so why didn't others? Well, others probably did, too ... just not enough to keep the manufacturer producing them.

That's where we come in. Once an item has been discontinued, retail brick and mortar stores try to clearance them. If they don't sell after a certain period of time, they pull those items from their shelves and sell them for pennies on the dollar to big clearance houses/wholesalers. We then put them for sale in our online outlet store, passing the savings on to the consumer that wished he had purchased more in the beginning - YOU!
Of course, you don't have to buy in bulk ... it's just an option. This was initially offered for dealers, etc. We also offer items individually so you can try it first, if you like. Just don't wait too long after trying something if you like it. Our supplies are limited and, in more instances than not, once they are gone, they gone for good.

Also, that is why it is a good idea to have your email address added to our mailing list so we can let you know what's been added to the site on a regular basis (right now, monthly ... as we grow it may turn into a weekly update). Send your email address to info@moretackle.com to be added.

Keep your line wet, your hook sharp, & your live well full,

More Tackle - the Angler's Outlet


Our new online tackle outlet store, More Tackle, is now up and running. So far we have added over 400 products, some of which cannot be found anywhere else. Our specialty is providing both freshwater and saltwater anglers with some of the tackle and boating products that they have come to love, but can no longer find because of being discontinued or no longer stocked in their favorite online or brick and mortar stores.

Have you ever purchased something that is new on the market, probably only one so you could try it first to determine whether or not you liked it and would want to invest any more of your hard earned money on it? Well, that is what most people do. But the problem is this ... if most of the people who try something don't go back and buy more of it, then either the manufacturers quit making it, the distributors quit offering it, or the individual stores quit stocking it. All because not enough of the consumers liked it enough to create significant purchasing power. It doesn't mean that it wasn't a good product ... just that it wasn't popular enough to sell to a majority.

But what happens to all those items that were manufactured but didn't sell out completely? They are bought up by companies such as Overstock.com, Big Lots, and other various outlet stores. So, why not an outlet store specifically for fishing tackle? That's exactly what More Tackle is.

Now, not all of our products have been discontinued, but the vast majority of them have. You might find them at other outlets, other tackle stores, even on Ebay. But it's not likely that you will find a better price that at More Tackle. We are making our best effort to bring you the lowest prices available anywhere and, if you can find it somewhere else for a lower price, we suggest that you first investigate to determine if it is legitimately what they claim it to be. Then, if it pans out to be legitimate, contact us to see if there are immediate plans to clearance that item and, if so, we will do our best to beat whatever price you find upon our verification.

In addition to all of the new items we will be offering, we will be listing reconditioned rods and reels. All reconditioned items will carry a 30-day warranty. Once you pay to ship the item back to us with your receipt, we will repair it at no charge, including shipping.

There will be additions to our product line periodically, with updates to appear on this blog. That way you, as either an existing customer or potential customer, would not need to search the entire site to find what has been newly added. We will provide links that will send you directly to the items you may be interested in.

Our next big addition to the site will be an entire section dedicated to building your own rods. Be patient, as this will probably take some time to enter and upload. But it should be worth it. Imagine, having a one-of-a-kind rod built specifically to your personal likes and dislikes. The fish just won't have a chance!

We hope your like this new tackle shopping experience and we look forward to your comments and suggestions. Remember, this store has been brought to you by a fishing family, and we understand what it means to find that special lure that caught the lunker. So, keep your line wet, your hooks sharp, and your livewell full.
