Warning

When purchasing fishing stuff online other than companies when doing private sales like auctions or buy it now deals make sure you read the description very carefully.

Make sure you read exactly what the seller is selling and don't go by the picture it's not always correct. We can be baited by the picture.

Example,

The seller shows a large box of loose hooks. There has to be well over 100 hooks in the box in the picture. The description reads your only buying 4 hooks.

Then the is a stack of hooks in packages in the picture. It says we get 5. Again read carefully it's only 5 hooks per pack.

Please read all of it carefully before bidding or purchasing. Fully understand exactly what we're buying. Don't get caught in a miss use of words. Some of these sellers can be very tactful. Bb

Buy retail, from our sponsors direct or on the Flea Market

Agree, always buyer beware when on auction sites.

 

On ebay, for example, I won't buy from anyone with an under 99.6% (typically) rating. 

 

For hooks and terminal tackle, I buy retail, either online or local.

 

Yet to buy off the flea market! If I had some cash right now, I'd snag a casting rod currently available! 

I'm disabled and can't walk too much so buying online is my way to purchase the latest

fishing stuff. I do look at our sponcers offerings first. Then if I can't find what I'm looking for I search for it next. My hardest problem is buying a new rod with feeling it's action first. As I move up to larger sized plastics for hooks I'm

going into the saltwater stuff. I have the largest bogbait frog to try. I'm still going

to try to break the state record here which I have seen the bigger gals swim by me.

There seems to be big bass in every body of water I fish at. Being in the northeast

we're the summers are shorter than the south we still have bigger bass than most think

We do. If what I'm seeing is true in these smaller places holding big bass in them then

in every part of the country there are big bass too. There smarter too that's why there

not being caught. These big gals feed in the wee hours of the am. When it's light they go into there stealth and ghost mode. I think there very weary of boats in some of these heavily fished places too. Fishing from shore in the early AM in stealth mode walking

softly and handling your tackle with no noise so you don't spook these bigger shy, timid gals. You have to be so quiet it's like we're not there.

Stick to reputable websites
