BENNY Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just curious where people like to order from for various types of tackle, I need to order a couple specific things but was trying to avoid the states(Cabelas/Basspro/Ebay) and BassPro store is quite the drive for me. Anyone frequent any online sellers with fair prices and decent ship time within Canada/Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozaibak1 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I bought a large supply of tackle from Cabela's this year after hearing about it from someone else on the board, and have to say I was quite satisfied with their prices selection and service, I saved a bundle vs buying from BPS here, I would recommend too.

BENNY Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Don't be shy to try Cabellas! How long did it take to get it shipped here? And I couldnt find what I need on the Lebarons site G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2fan Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I pity you if you have to go the Cabelas route the taxes shipping and handling fees can easily increase the cost by 50% or more...... The days of deals using cross border shipping seem to long gone anytime I price anything from BPS or Cabelas these days. LeBarons is awesome to order from because in Ontario you don't pay PST most times that covers the bulk of the shipping for me and with gas the price it is not having a three hour return trip is just another bonus.

Guest robw Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 What kind of stuff are you looking for? I just bought some trolling spoons and flys from SpoonMaster. Their prices were good and fast shipping. Anything else and you might want to try Cabela's. If you find any more, I would'nt mind checking them out as well.

Guest robw Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 The Vibrax are my favorite lures. I've always been able to get them at Canadian Tire, and my LFS. There has got to be someone near you that either carries them or can order them. See if Blue Fox has a list of Distributors on their website.

BENNY Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks everyone I will try Cabelas or Lebarons if they have it, CTC here Doesnt have them but I will figure somethin out just though I would ask. Thanks Again Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 If you want muskie baits, you can't beat JB's.. Great selection, decent prices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Always dealt well with Cabelas and BPS online. Only problem I had with Cabelas is that they simply left the package on the front porch if we weren't home - which lead to one of the reels we ordered getting stolen (Cabelas was great about this, and sent out another one free of charge). If the order was from BPS they would leave a note saying there was a package at the post office for us. Either way, shipping was never much.

Well I really don't think Cabela's left it on your front porch, it was the shipping company, either the Post Office or other delivery service.

danc Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Cabelas fan here. They're shipping/brokerage fees are high but I have the option of shopping right at their stores or picking things up at the border. You'll never get better customer service from anywhere else. Shop carefully and you'll find some incredible deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've never had any issues with cabelas. Even on large items, I still seem to save a little. The beauty is they have what I want, and the quality is top notch. I don't get much fishing gear there, but almost all my hunting gear comes from them. Its always at my door within a week.

muskymike Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 By decent prices, do you mean the highest prices that you have ever paid? Tundra I would have to disagree with you here, its hit or miss with Musky Baits and JB's is by no means the most expensive I have seen. They have been nothing but great with me. Other then a miscommunication error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allbusiness Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I found the shipping cost to be way too high at cabela's and BPS, AND they charge you 13% sales tax? I may be wrong but I thought if you only had to pay pst/gst if you bought something in Ontario, outside of ontario you shouldn't have to pay any tax at all. I find it hard to believe cabela's is going to take all that tax they collect from ontario customers and hand it over to the ontario government. IMO you can't beat Ebay when it come to fishing gear, lures, line, reels, you name it - you can find it a whole lot cheaper on ebay, with the most reasonable shipping rates (most of the time). Just make sure they ship it USPS and not UPS (You have to pay a ridiculous brokerage fee with UPS) with USPS you don't have to pay any duty/brokerage fee at all. AND on Ebay you pay no tax.
