Tackle Grab April 2014 Review

What is tackle grab?
Tackle Grab is a monthly subscription box that sends you a minimum of 16$ worth of fish baits. 

Shipping: Shipping to the US and Canada is free. 

Referral : There is a referral program. Refer three friends and you get 3 boxes free. If you are interested in tackle grab please contact me at canadiansubbox@gmail.com and I will send you a referral. 

Pricing: There is a limited time offer that your first box can be free on month-to-month subscription but I am not sure how much those are as there is a big "sticker" over the sign but I am thinking it is around 12.00$


 Let's start with the packaging. It is as minimal as they get. You get a small box with no stuffing just the products inside. 
 The box unfolds therefore even if the products are put in there meticulously they do move a apart when you open it. I would of liked to see a bit of protection packaging in the box. I know it isn't really needed I would like to see it just to make me feel satisfied that all my items will arrive safely.
The product card. I like this card it shows a picture of the item, the price, a short description of the product and how to use it. I like that there is a fair amount of details on this card. It is good for beginners to learn how to use the bait .

AR Lures Pencil-90 ( retail value 19.99$) 
 I like this lure. I like it because it was hand crafted and also because it came with a FB card that allows me to look even further into the company and what they and their baits are all about. I do wish that it would have had cover of some sort on the hooks as trying to get it out of the bag was a bit hard. Word of caution large mouth bass that choose to nibble on this bait might destroy this lure as it is wooden.

Product Description
1/2 oz. and 3.6 inches long
100% handcrafted and features a top quality wooded construction ( I always love hand made things)
Very responsive; walks across the surface like an injured bait fish.

Good for smaller fish ( small mouthed bass)

 Advantage Bait Company Swim Jig ( Retail 4.70$)
I love the colour of this jig. I also like that this was hand-painted, and the eye make the jig look real.
The packaging for this one was fine since the strands cover the hook it offers protection from being jabbed.  The colour of this jig is also quiet realistic and should work well.

Product Description
-Hand painted realistic shad head with life like 3D eyes
-Built-in soft plastic trailer keeper
-90 Strand 100% silicone hubbed skirt with built-in necktie trailer
-Flexible weed guard

Good for fishing bass and other fish in dense weeded areas


FishBelly Popper Shad (retail 7,95$)
I like how realistic these look. If you are someone that has problem with jelly textures items this feels like it ( although I doubt you would since you're fishing) 

Product Description
Soft body and ultra realistic paint job
Cuppoed mouth for popping action 
Tail creates disturbance on water to draw more attention

HotSEATCUSTOMBAITS Hot seat skink (retail 1.20$)

This kind of bait is great for catching bass that are spawning. If you are fishing near rivers where bass have there "nest" this is perfect to catch them. Again this kind of lures are a bit jelly feeling.

Product Details
Classic Lizard design
Durable plastic with just the right amount of salt
Available in 28 colours

Good for spawning Bass


Thoughts
I haven't been fishing in a while but hopefully having this box will get me out there ( or at least have the boyfriend use these when he goes fishing). As for the quality of the items I think that they are quiet good. The price is also good. I paid 34$ for this subscription ( I had 20% off, regular subscription for 3 months is 42$) and I got approximately 25-30$ worth of lures. My profile was mostly bass so I don't mind having received products that catch bass. The boxes are somewhat customizable ( you fill out a profile). My profile was set for beginner as well. I have selected all style of fishing and all the fishes available for the next box and put on intermediate to see if they will send a greater variety of products.

Do you fish? What is your favourite bait?
