Hi

Has anyone bought any bass lures from thebassfisherman.co.za?

If yes, what did you think  of their service?

I live in a small town in the Eastern Cape and dont really have access to the biggest range of bass equipment - so i do a lot of online shopping.:fishn

Hi

Yeah - I have used bass.co.za quite a lot. They have a bigger range of online products but i've found that they dont always have the colours i prefer or want. Their postage is also cheaper

Hey Navrik

My apologies - its actually bassfisherman.co.za.

Anyway - i went ahead and gave it a shot - placed an order with Collin Little. Go check out his items - admittedly, not the biggest range - but he stocks the Ouzo range of soft plastics - i'm a new fan of the 6" riptail minnow!

I would still say bass.co.za has the biggest range of items - although not necessarily in the colours you'd want.

Danie De Lange from Rod & Marine still sells the cheapest range of Bill Normans online.

Tight lines:fishn

Thanks for the updated link. Nice looking website.

Another new site (guys are based here in the Western Cape) is http://www.basstackle.co.za/.

You can shop safely with them as I know all the guys personally. We actually all fish the Western Cape Money Trail together.

Had a look at basstackle.co.za - not trying to be mean or anything, but they really need to get more variety...

Its my opinion that online tackleshops in SA have a LOT of work to do to be as competitive as a walk-in tackle store. This means having a wide range of items and CONSTANTLY updating the website with new stock and available quantities...

Cheers

A bit easier said than done bud.

It take a huge amount of capital especially if you consider that quite a few of the larger SA Supplier insist on a pretty big first order. Couple of hundred thousand rand in some cases.

I did quite a bit of research in this space and spoke to many of the wholesalers. It will take some doing to get the likes of a Tackle Warehouse up in South Africa. We just don't have a big enough market.

Fortunately most of the online shops tend to sell different brands so by shopping around you should be able to get what you need.

Just as a matter of interest... I placed a fair sized order... R850 incl postage (pls dont tell the wife!). It took 5 working days to arive, but everything was there and intact. But I am very impressed with management's (Collin Little is his name) eagerness to provide assistance and 1st class service.

Will definintely use them again - I do just hope they can expand given some time and support!
