Anyone else notice how expensive soft plastics are on Amazon?? 11.00 for a 5 pack of cane toads,hooks the same thing. 9.00 a bag of watermelon/red yum dingers.Thought that was pretty crazy.

Yup, but the reverse is also true for many hard baits.....make little sense to me.

I've noticed the same thing and it really makes me wonder. I order A LOT of stuff on Amazon, but soft plastics are not one of them. 

Yeah, it's a bunch of 3rd party sellers hoping someone with little experience in buying fishing gear will take it at that price.  I'm a prime member, but buy very little of my fishing gear off Amazon.

Same here with Prime.Even with free 2 day shipping,you can't justify the cost.

Fishing rods are good on amazon if you have prime i saved 30 bucks on a DUCKETT Ghost. But baits not so much

I don't do much, if any, fishing purchases on Amazon.

Just not worth the effort even tho I have Prime.

 

Should clarify re: effort. Effort on Amazon Prime is as

simple as clicking buy. Issue I have is with what I want

that is available. I can usually find better deals on ebay

or ... gasp ... Bass Pro.

Bass Pro is ok to order from if you dont mind waiting 3 weeks for them to ship a bag of worms to the store for pickup

True. But when I've ordered rods/reels and leave them 

in the cart, by the next day or two I have a "dude, don't

leave a good thing behind" discount that makes it worth

my while.  usually...not for small stuff, though.

Ive been applying there for part time after my real job.40% on BPS brand is nothing to sneeze at.I want that discount too.

@Darren. I hit the BPS in Tampa this weekend too! They had a Metanium MGL that some guy ordered and never picked up.Needless to say i played with it for like 15 minutes talking myself out of spending 400 bucks.

I have bought 100 packs of manns Jelly worms for 6 dollars .

doesn't work for me either,. hopefully there is an amazon exec. reading this or sellers taking notice. just saying if my job was in sales or to help create sales "pretty simple" look at the numbers of just our members. wow what a target to shoot for!. does the words common sense  exist any more?

I ordered some black trick worms for 2.50. I didn't realize they made the shipping 10.00...

  +1 on this post!

When it comes to buying lures it's hard to beat Tackle Warehouse.

Lures are way overpriced.

 

Ive bought tatula rod for $75 though and have bought discounted reels.

Amazon is rough but once in a blue moon you find an amazing deal.  They once has Curado reels for like $120 or so, and another seller had Okuma Cedros Low Profile Baitcasting reels for like $80.  But for the most part, yeah Amazon is a pretty horrible place to buy tackle.

Fishing line is usually a good deal, and most of the major brands are Prime eligible (or at least my favorite brands have been)

 

Lure though, that's a different story. Tackle Warehouse seems to take my money then.

I ordered some plastic/lures from Amazon before. I always compare price at least to bass pro cabela's and tackle warehouse. Mostly the one I found a reasonable price compare to other is add-on stuffs where you have to add up to 25 prime for free shipping.

If I only need a few, I'll check on Amazon first becuz I dont

have to pay shipping and it get here pretty fast.

yeah but you can find good deals on bobber stops for sinker pegs.Like 600 for 4 bucks lol.
