I was just wondering where all the tackle stores like, bass pro, ***, tackledirect and so on....where do they get all there tackle from? Do they go directly to the companies or is there some kind of middle man? If there is a middle man, does anybody no who? Thanks

If i had to guess i would imagine they get it straight from the manufacturer. Least thats how it was when i worked retail many years ago. Thats my thoughts anyway.

Im guessing your looking to cut past the retailers and go to the middle man huh?

Call them and ask.

Thanks guys! Well I am thinking about starting my own online tackle business. Something I have always wanted to do. I know it takes a lot of work, and there are so many other companies out there already. But I figure if I do not try it now then I will never try. So that is why I am trying to figure out where to get all the products from. I contacted tackle warehouse. They said they get it direct from the tackle companies. So I have emailed a few companies already. Only heard back from shimano so far. They said they do not sell to online companies right now, they said you need a physical retail store. Which I will eventually do, but I figured I would just start off as a website first. Anybody with any other info would be great! thanks

Just emailed Azuma baits to see if I can get them, i have never tried them, but they look great. They seem to be a little expensive? Thank you for the recommendation!

They're 12 a piece. Bur if you lose one and send them a copy of the reciept they send you a new one, and you just pay shipping.
