Online Tackle Stores

[bdb74]

Here's my experiences with some online tackle places:

Ali Express: Low prices, arrives in reasonable time. The color is sometimes not the same as advertised. For example, motor oil red flake had so many red flakes it was basically red. They have so many sellers and they are all fly by night that it is luck of the draw on color and quality. They do have very low price high quality extremely small Texas rig worm hooks, which is very hard to find.

Tackle Express: Fair prices, relatively low shipping so it's a good deal if you buy enough stuff to spread the shipping costs over the tackle. Arrived quickly.

Lockett Lures Outlet: They charge your card as soon as they see the order, which may be days later, but before they ship. Weeks passed and no order arrived. Customer service responded to only the first of several emails. They replied that they were sending the order right then. Not true. They did not respond until I got my bank involved by disputing the charge. I then received an email saying they were shipping my order. It arrived in about a week. The order was not my order, it was some of what I ordered and some of other colors but they were all 1" curly tail grubs which is what I ordered. They do say on their website that they reserve the right to switch items based on availability. The quality is low, you can see the ragged edges of the molded soft plastics. I only ordered from them because the prices looked good and so few outfits offer 1" curly tail grubs, which I like in both fresh and salt. After they stopped responding to my emails I looked them up on the BB and it seems that I am not the only customer who had to get the bank involved.

Check the place out on BBB before you order.

Appreciate the info. I haven’t used AliExpress yet. Can you (or another member) provide names of trusted sellers? Thanks man!
