Hi,

(I am a newer member here, I joined last year but recently had to reinput my profile due to some goofy problem) My point of view is coming from an avid online shopper, and I am a female who likes to fish. Mostly salt water inlets, beach shore fishing. I am not a html,css etc. etc. techie, just a female shopper. Overall I love this idea and applaud you for making it thus far.

- Possibly display the saying "How can we help you catch fish?" at the top of the home page where the picture main photo is located..it is a catchy little tag line.

- Can you show a photo of the tackle box being held by a person to give a point of reference as to how large it is? And list the dimensions of each (or maybe I missed that part)

- also what type of material are the tackle boxes made of? did I miss that also? is it lightweight ripstop nylon, pvc coated polyester, what denier? etc. etc. Water resistant?

- the main photo of the 3 tackle boxes would be more authentic if it was photographed on a dock, or on the bow of a boat...or it would be much prettier if they were sitting at the tides edge of one of your rivers/lakes.

Congratulations on everything!

Dianne

Those are all great points Dianne. We are trying to plan a couple of different saltwater fishing type kits for this coming spring and summer. We were thinking one for surf and flat fishing and another for deeper or more offshore fishing. What do you think? Any other suggestions about starting omething for saltwater?

Thanks again

Great idea! My boyfriend loves fishing and this is great! It is a great gift idea. He is a native of Alaska. I have caught the biggest and best fish while we`ve been together.

I can catch fish--when he helps me pick out the right lure, helps me find the right spot, and takes me at the right time of day. However, if I bought this kit because I wanted to go fishing, I wouldn`t know what lure to use at what time or with what type of fish.

My boyfriend was stating that the price may be a little bit steep. (but he is used to tying his own lures.) He has come up with his own lure/flies for fishing trips in Alaska and here in Idaho. He stated that you may be able to keep your costs down by tying your own flies. It may be worth having kits of different price ranges.

One other idea--when we go fishing, we usually only use about 4-5 lures. Maybe that`s when you can have smaller kits with just some jigs and rapalas for kits of $20 to 50.

Thanks Natalie. Im glad you like our idea. Ive fished in Jeaneu once for Pink Salmon and it was incredible. I really want to go back sometime. Alaska is probably the most beautiful place ive ever been.

Right now we dont have any fly boxes. We definatley are going to try and offer a few different sizes at diferent prices. We dont fly fish a ton so we are looking for advice on some of the necessities for a stream/river fly box kit.

Good idea though on having some smaller options than what we currently offer. We were thinking about selling individual dividers with a few lures in that people could swap in/out of there box.

thanks for the support and good luck to you

Aha!

I think Natalie/LiveWise and myself have found a common concern. When I fish it is always with my daddy or brother. I am spoiled in that they bring everything. I am truly a sporty girl girl, so I know that if I had to fish with must my hubby or friends I would purchase a pink tackle box with just the basics that are needed. I do have my own poles but that does not mean I know what type of lure to use or proper weighting in the rough surf conditions, or for deeper waters.

Sooo, you could start a female product line. Think of the company that sells pink tool belts and tools. I love those things as I do not have to sneak into my hubbies, or dad`s tool box!

Ya`ll are smart for focusing on your target market, and the area that you know best....

enjoy,
