1st experience with Tackle Direct I… 1st experience with Tackle Direct I ordered a reel, requested it loaded with 30 lb braid, got the reel with a spool of line in the box. Not all that bad. 2nd order ordered 2 spools of line after 2 weeks no line I called them to find out where my line is and was told it will be at least anther 8 days or so till I receive my order, but yet I was told it was in stock. Unbelievable! Next time Ill just order from Amazon.

paid for a reel on special Finally 22 days and a call for tackle direct, to tell me my reels on the way. Gotta say, the waiting is less painful when someone will tell you how long the waits going to be

Amazing packaging All the rods come in the most secure packaging that even the third party delivering can't mess up.

Perfect , shipping to Canada Really good communication, fast shipping ( when the product is in stock at Tackle Direct) and really good shipping tracking . Fishing rod was well protected in a strong cardboard tube. US customs costs 33$ cad for a 160$ cad product , shipping cost 8$ cad . I recommend, thanks

Be careful Update 9 days later. Receiving shipping info for replacement Update 4 days later. I did not received a call the next day. So I call the following day and got Billy to inform me that he will have Chris call me back. Chris agree to send me a prepay shipping and resolve the issue by refund or exchange. I sent the rod back so let's see how this end. Original review: Just got off the phone with Craig. I sent an email but got no reply so I made a call. Receive a fishing rod with bent blank. He said it is normal does not affect the function, but would anyone wants to pickup a bent rod while shopping for a fishing pole. Return shipping is gonna cost me $20. I am waiting to get a return call from them tomorrow and update this review. Otherwise, I will not be visiting or buying anything else from this place. I will share my experience with those around me also.
