Every order is always the best price, super fast shipping and top quality gear!
Definitely love Karls!
Always great prices and selection. Being a member is a huge savings. My number one go to for all of my fishing needs.
smooth transaction, customer service was good. Only problem is the shirt came with tissue paper on the front logo and was stuck on. Even after washing it, it is still there.
Karl's makes it easy to find what your looking for, and things you aren't looking for! lol
They have the best baits for the best price. I would recommend joining, it's well worth it!
The Karl’s yearly subscription is fantastic. Basically, savings on everything in the store. The bundles and mystery boxes are amazing for new anglers or gifts to others getting into the sport. I think looking into better promotions for medium to expert anglers can improve more loyal customers.
The prices, product choices, and free shipping with a very inexpensive subscription can not be beat.
They have a great selection of baits are awesome prices. The monthly subscription boxes are a great way to keep the tackle box fully stocked and to try new baits that you may otherwise not know about.
Not sure where to start. I ordered a rod and a reel from Karl's. The reel arrived as expected but no sign of the rod. The order shows complete on the website and when checking the tracking it shows awaiting shipping?
Update to my order!!
I was contacted by customer service, and they admitted the error and accepted full responsibility. That said they immediately took the proper steps to correct this issue and get the product on the way. Good customer service is what we all expect, and I found that Karl's steps up when necessary to handle things with true professionalism. Thank you and I will order from Karl's again without hesitation.

Where to start first of all you talking about the amazing prices they have for the free shipping or the amazing discounts you get when your Carl's club member. Best place ever hands down fast and free deliveries, no problems ever with delivery best prices around.
Ordering is easy prices are great! It’s worth the membership fee. Karl’s Carrie’s a lot of baits you can’t find at other websites.
The best customer service, hands down! Thank you for a great experience!!
I get everything I order in a timely manner. The club member perks/discounts are great.
that was quick! Karl’s said package would be a week later than expected, made plans and then it showed up a week early
Update 1/11/23
After seeing my review below someone from Karls reached out. They apologized for the advent box and they made it right. They are true to their word and customers.
Thanks Karls
Tony
Holiday advent box, $hit box not worth the money. Had several stickers in it a few cheap hooks and plastic baits. While stickers are cool last i checked you can catch fish with them. Not at all worth the money.

Amazing deals, great selection and fun flash sales.
We had an issue with a produce we bought. I emailed the customer service email that was on the box. In less then 13 hours I had a response, and ways they could make it right! We contacted a couple of days, and they have not only fixed the mistake, but add to our product! Mitch is the person I was speaking too, and he was so accommodating and helpful! Thank you so much!
I love my membership with Karl’s. It’s great to be able to order what I need to fish at a great discount
I do recommend Karl’s bait and tackle to friends and co workers! I always tell my co workers and friend, when a good sell is happening
Great deals and excellent service! The membership alone has already paid for itself. Bought a rod/ reel combo that would have cost $20 more at Walmart and was able to get it in left hand retrieve! Had another rod replaced after breaking it, no questions asked. The members only deals are amazing. Would definitely recommend to any avid angler.
Karls always makes sure you got what you want and their customer service is the best in the game! They take care of you!
