HORRIBLE experience since I've had this subscription last year. This year I couldn't redeem the QR code or the fully written code. I couldn't get ANY help by text, SMS, or by phone. Forget about cu... See more

Better than local!

I love shopping with Karl's because it's easy to find what I need or a suitable alternative, many with several informative customer reviews. Karl's Club gives me the opportunity to get better prices than any local tackle store (Southern Ontario, Canada). Even though my fishing season seems to be over I find it hard to resist some of the spicy deals I keep seeing in my inbox.

Great deals for being a member

Great deals for being a member, tackle insurance has come in handy once or twice. Never any mix ups with items timely deliveries and have had multiple rods replaced that broke after delivery. Great experience from start to finish!

No freshwater lures in my saltwater box

Hey guys, All an all I like the products y'all have an there prices are reasonable. Great sales, an discounts plus free shipping is a game changer for me. I only have one thing that I don't understand is why y'all put freshwater lures in my saltwater M.T.B. I ordered the saltwater box because I live next to saltwater!!! There's no freshwater places to fish near me, so WHY! Are y'all putting freshwater lures in my box if I ordered saltwater ones??? How hard is it?? An I've let y'all know about it for a long time now, but you keep doing it. My last box had 3 out of 5 pieces was for freshwater... It says it right on the package!!!! That's the only reason you didn't get 5 stars!!!

Karl's is the KING of online tackle

Karl's always has a deal going on. They have quality products that fit my needs. After a year and a half of dealing with Karl's I can say all my business has been very pleasant. I look to Karl's first for my tackle needs.

Hunter's Gife

I purchased this two years ago for my grandson who is an avid fisherman. He really enjoys his package that he receives once a month, on time, and gets a variety of tackle. I will continue until he wants something different. Thank you.

Loved the deal “you spend $150 and get a free Green Pole” ordered Gold pole and received free Green so my ten year old son got two poles for his tenth birthday. Said it would take six or seven days to receive them and got them four days later. GREAT COMPANY … bring that deal back 🙏🙏🙏 thank you
