given the current exchange rates and the fact that i have family to have stuff sent to and someone going over to visit soon to bring it home tax free.......................................... what is the best online store in the US for ordering tackle. had a look at cabellas and that seemed pretty good eg TLD 15 for only €95 including postage to NJ address.

Im sure there are other places worth a look............ any suggestions

also any gear worth having that we cant get here

tacke shops i would look at are cabellas, bass pro shops, tackle direct.

as for tackle i would look at braid and deffo look at avet reels. loads of other small things like lures and stuff.

Have had stuff delivered by Cabelas to a hotel without any problems,they used UPS and I was able to track the parcels progress to its destination,have also got stuff from boaters world,they have free delivery within the US if you spend more than 100 dollars,it would also be worth your while checking out the Penn website that should give you tackle shops near to where you would be staying,had great value in Braided line,bass lures,and reels.

Have a look at Scheels as well - it's based in the Mid-West (Nebraska) - but they do mail order.
