I purchased a Googan Fishing Rod for my boyfriend last year and not even half way into the season it broke. So he reached out to the googan squad company and they wouldn’t help him. He was so pretty upset but I remembered that I purchased it from Karl’s and reached out to see if they could help. I was pleasantly surprised that they were willing to help and sent me out a new rod the next day! He was a very happy man. I’m so appreciative for the service I received.
Karl's & MTB have had a dramatic impact on my fishing. The monthly MTB deliveries have opened my eyes to new lures and techniques that I most likely would not have tried otherwise. Karl's amazing member pricing allows me to make sure I am always stocked up on the greatest baits!
Best box I have ever got period I will definitely recommend to friends
Ordering from here is easy and shipping is fast.
Just a great selection of tackle. Everything was in stock and fast shipping.
I use the heck out of my gear and sometimes that leads to it breaking down. I was throwing a chatterbait around and noticed that the reel holder on my Googan Reaction Rod was a little loose. Well, I gave it a jiggle and noticed the whole thing had come separated from the rod. It couldn’t hold the reel anymore, the rod was essentially toast. I get home and email Karl’s and within 10 mins a new replacement rod was already in the works. No hassle, no hoops to jump though, just the gang over at Karl’s taking care of and making the situation right again. Caught my PB on the replacement rod the day it came in. Couldn’t have done it without y’all!!
100% recommend karls. They have the best prices on rods reels and tackle anywhere. Shipping is always fast, plus tackle insurance is awesome lol
Placed a order and when it didn’t arrive when they said it would. I contacted customer service and within 4 day I had received the replacement order. Then the next day my original order came in. I called they sent me a return shipping label and I sent original order back. Outstanding customer service outstanding shipping. Never had a issue with any other order. They are my go to tackle store. I will buy all my tackle and line from them. Bass, Crappie and Bream are my species of choice and Karl bait and tackle supply’s my tackle.
I wanted to check out there first store front you guys have and it was awesome! Sam(I think) was super cool, very helpful and not pushy at all. You know how when you go into a store and tell some what you want, when they don't have it they try and tell you the"better option"? This wasn't the case, as soon as he found out the reel I wanted want the, he showed me what they had and allowed me to browse without pestering me. I will absolutely go back and let all me fellow pond hoppers know where the new spot is.
My son picked out a pole from Karl's.
It arrived quickly and they were very fulfilling of our needs after the shipments arrival.
Very satisfied and will use them for my sons further fishing needs.
These boys have the best deals around, Karl's is a Certified Hood Classic.
I can’t believe how professional and timely their support team was. I was really sad when my rod broke and they sent one right away. Couldn’t ask for better service.
Karl's have great prices and free shipping for members and a great selection of products.
i ordered some googan crates and got a free googan green rod and everything came very quickly and the rod was very well packaged and came in perfect condition
My go to fishing needs and wants online store. I place at least one order a month with Karl’s. Being a member pays off in savings. Free shipping and perks. Just can’t beat it!
I had extremely high hopes for this. The prices seem fair and the products seem quality good. All you hear on youtube is how great it's. I dont know if it is just me or what, but every order has been filled with shipping issues and missing items, then the product i order out of stock after trying to get them to start the process for missing stuff for over a week. Then it's like 10 dollar credit will make up for loosing out on over a 100 dollars worth of product and discounts and value 📦. This is on top of still waiting for replacement items that again say are delivered and are not here. I can say I will honestly be making a point not to recommend this to anyone based on shipping issues and customer service.
I’ve placed a few orders over the last few weeks and have not had a problem. No issues with shipping. Got enough to get the surprise bait boxes and they had a good variety. The recent even had extra stuff, unless that was part of the last round for those. Will likely buy from again in the future.
Karl’s is always great good selection shippings always fast and any problems karls team is quick and awesome
Love everything we get kids feel like it’s there birthday every month
