I use the forum folks for most of my needs. They make some excellent products.

I prefer giving my money to the small businesses

I rarely buy anything from Big Box stores. Like buying from TFF'ers. Good people and the best products!

There still open. They are closed weekend. Most of there business is mailorder

I agree,that being said shout out to Bonehead tackle,& Thumpers elite outfitters,good folks

Thank you sir.

I like seeing all your comments. I was and am still disheartened about the tackle industry. Heck all the products in our stores for that matter. Not many manufacturers are what they seem. Most are just importers that stick their logo on a overseas product.

Buy Made in the USA!

I know i am a little slower than most. But I request. how about a section that is just strictly. i am a small Business and I sale this. I might be looking over it.

I like to buy from local small companies as well. They all make some great products and I like to support them as they try to grow. I just picked up some more Lip Ripper Baits because I really like the product and the service I get from them. I love their colors, how durable they are and the fish absolutely love them too.

I have the big box shops looking closely at me. I in fact am working on a deal right now that will have one big box shop and I working together on the installation side of our business.

I like that. I created and manufacture the LiftSaver Trolling Motor bracket and just promote on a small basis. I've been doing very well with them and am nearing my 200th sold and even have sent one to Norway and Romania. It's just a side project that I created because I needed it for my boat and decided to offer to others that were having the same issues.

There are a lot of great companies on here and some great people behind them that are offering locally made products for like minded fisherman. Good Idea.

I am not knocking Big Box stores. They are in business for a reason. I just feel like on TFF the people seem to be more personable. more of the time the companies on here remember your name. To me the number one thing with owning a Business. Is to make every customer feel like they are the only customer.

BlueNitro. I don't own a boat. But I went to your website. That right there is what i am talking about. There is no telling how many great ideas come from the TFF.

Small business only way to go. You think the Big Boxes will help you out? Yes, I will go in, look around and buy real clearance items, who will pass up 50 cent jigs or plastic. Most the time the small businesses are very competitive pricing and definitely performance.Most importantly, situation arises where a neighbor needs a helping hand, who's there.

Definitely like supporting the Texas small businesses. BassPro, Cabelas, Academy, get there share of my business for clothing and hunting items. But for crappie fishing, it's our local TFF guys for me. Between Crazy Angler and Thermocline Lures, there is all the selection and quality I can ever use. And the guys on here making hand tied jigs are the best there is with no equal in my opinion. And ProAngler Tackle has the rods I like.
