Tackle Grab – The Baits Fish Want. The Baits You Need.
Tackle Grab is a subscription service that uses a profile created by you to build a custom box of hand-picked baits that’s delivered to your door. In fact, right now you can get your first month subscription for 5 bucks! That’s quite a deal when you consider how expensive lures are these days. Heck, that’s an amazing deal when you consider how expensive fishing magazines are, and this is a box full of real lures!
To top it all off our good friend Andrew Dayman received a gift subscription for Christmas from his admittedly awesome fiancé, and will be sending us reports on what he gets every month. You can read his report from the first package below, and when you’re done why not follow him on twitter.
I received my first package from Tackle Grab the other night. The subscription was a gift from my (awesome) fiancé. She got it on Black Friday when they were having a 50% off sale. The 12 month subscription cost $104.31 after taxes & exchange rate (or about $8.70 a month)
The package contained:
(4) 5.25″ stick baits from Hot Seat Custom Baits
(5) 5″ flukes from Hawg Wild Lure Co.
(5) 4″ tubes from Hawg Wild Lure Co.
(1) “Minnow-110” bass wood crankbait from AR custom baits
The quality of all the products seem decent & the hooks on the crankbait are sharp. Tackle Grab sends you different things depending on how you fill out your angling profile and I think they did a pretty good job. These are baits I’d use for the species I fish for.
Overall, I’m happy with what I got for my $8.70 this month, but I don’t know I would be if I had paid the full subscription price.
UPDATE: After finding pricing on the AR crankbait ($21+tax) I realized that I had undervalued the box tackle grab sent me. It’s a great deal, I’m very happy with my shipment and would highly recommend tackle grab.
Thanks for the report Andrew! We look forward to seeing what you get in your next delivery.
I’m a big fan of what Tackle Grab is doing. The fact that they build a custom profile for each angler is a really cool idea. As far as value for your money…that was a concern that I had as well. However, if you look at what you got…those plastics are gonna retail for $3-$5 a bag (at least) and that AR Lures Minnow (if I have the brand and product right) is listed at $21.99 at Tackle Warehouse!! That’s over $30 worth of products for under $10. Even if I was paying $15 a month for subscription I’m still getting double my money. I’m not sure if that is always the case, but in this case, it looks like you scored!!http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/hardbaitbrand.html?ccode=ARLURES http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/hardbaitbrand.html?ccode=ARLURES
Pay the full price if you have to (but odds are you won’t have too, as they run promotions all the time)! Tackle Grab is a very innovative company with the best customer service in the business. Compared to similar services available, Tackle Grab is the only one that gives you a custom box based on preferences that you set up on the site. They also provide boxes for a variety of species, which is unique to them. As for customer service, they are top notch. I had an instance where there was a computer glitch with my TG points. I contacted Tackle Grab, and the problem was fixed immediately, and they were wonderful to work with. I have been so satisfied with Tackle Grab, that I have used their gift memberships on multiple occasions.
I agree with both the comments above and then some! Let me explain… First the price is great even if you happen to pay full-price, lots of sales going on so there usually is not a need to. I recommend getting at least a 6 month subscription to save more money and for the fact that you will think this is too short once you start getting you TackleGrab boxes. First and foremost you are going to receive very high quality lures, hooks, jigs, plugs, surface frogs, hundreds of different types of soft plastic baits flies, really you name it and they have it. They lures are chosen based on your fishing techniques, location and species most often targeted. You can change this at ANY time to receive totally different styles of product for each month or season if you so choose to do so. Now on top of this you also accumulate points that are redeemable for a discount at the online store.You can purchase any product that TackleGrab caries at the online store, HUGE discounts. Now if this is not enough I have also received tips and advice on how to fish certain baits and how to find fish in new places. The support and advice from other members and the staff, namely Stash the Co-founder, has to me been the biggest surprise of joining TackleGrab. If you have a question, comment or advice for someone else simply post it on the TackleGrab Facebook page and you will get responses immediately!!Love it!
Wow $21 for the AR? I had no idea, I tried to cost out all the plastics but they are more like sample packs. I am happy with what I got but figured the total value of the order was about $12-15… Now that I know the AR are higher end baits I’m super happy :)
