Tackling tackle

If you’re an angling gearhead, you’re sure to appreciate the website. Billing itself as “The Angler’s source for tackle news and reviews,” the site boasts features on new rods, reels, lines, lures, terminal tackle, tools, storage, watercraft, apparel, electronics and more. The site archives all it’s older reviews (organized both by manufacturer and equipment type), so if you’re looking for an opinion on the quality of a particularly used gear item, you might just find it. TackleTour also has a discussion forum with boards dedicated to tackle, hot deals, fishing techniques, DIYers, manufacturer support and more, as well as an annual Editor’s Choice and Best Value Awards section that highlights the gear its editor thinks is the greatest of the latest. TackleTour promises it’s an independent site, and given the range of manufacturers and products it covers, as well as having read its reviews for years, I’d say you can trust that assurance. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Check it out yourself.
