So what would you go buy in the USA? I'm going to Washington end of the month and plan to do some tackle shopping (after I've worked my arse off) and would like to know what you guys would buy?

Rods, reels, lures, extra's...?

I’ve always wanted a Carrot Stick Rod (E21) and you can’t get them in SA so that’s what I would buy... go into Bass Pro Shops and browse for the day and you will find lots of goodies you will want... I wouldn’t buy stuff you can get here... and beware of buying too much stuff because the excess weight charge on the way back will kill you. Oh yes buy a 100MPH suit because you will save a fortune on import duties bringing it back yourself!

Definitely visit Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas.

I was in a Cabelas store some years ago in the USA and it was a great experience ...

But then, if you can't make it in person for some reason, just do the mailorder thing to your USA address with http://www.cabelas.com and http://www.tacklewarehouse.com . You won't be sorry as postage within the USA is relatively cheap and sometimes they do not even charge for postage if your order is over $50.

I would, amongst other things, stock up on braid and Bass Swimbaits (Huddlestons etc)! Reels, too - anything you can stash in your suitcase or carry on board as hand luggage ... :cool:

I thought of getting a part time job at a tackle shop just to get some employee discount.

How does the import duties work? LOl... you think the 100mph suite will do the trick?

Reels, rods and a supercharged BASS-BOAT, problem is fitting the latter in the hand luggage, no seriously I would go ape on tackle and the lures we don't get to see here.

There are no duties on tackle so when ordering online and shipping it across you only have to pay shipping and Vat... But clothing is HEAVY!!!! That’s why I would start with any clothing you want first... rip off the labels and pack them into you normal luggage... the 100mph suit is expensive... but you will never again be cold or wet... EVER!
