4 Best Fishing Tackle Subscription Boxes

Tackle subscription boxes are a great way to discover new tackle and load up on your most used or favorite tackle. I’ve done the work for you and put together a list of the best fishing tackle subscription boxes.

I’ve ordered the Mystery Tackle Box myself, and will do so for each. Once I’ve received the orders and tested the gear I will provide an update to this post.

Curation of these boxes take different formats as you’ll read below, whether it’s based on species you target, if you fish from a boat or bank and also your location.

All of the boxes offer discounted rates if you decide to pay for 3, 6, or 12 months up front versus month by month.

One of the most significant benefits to these boxes aside from discovering new tackle and building your supply is that you will save some coin going this route, such as up to 40% off with Mystery Tackle Box.

Surprisingly, most of these boxes don’t allow the purchase of past boxes, but I assume that must relate to their supply deals and just-in-time stock. Let’s get into it:

Mystery Tackle Box by Karl’s Bait & Tackle

3 Types of Boxes:

• Regular $16.99/month ($25 value)
• Pro $26.99 /month ($40 value)
• Elite $39.99 /month ($60 value)

For each Mystery Tackle Box you can select a wide array of species and choose between paying monthly or quarterly. What I really like about MTB is shipping is free and you can cancel or pause the order at anytime as well as change species. The is part of why MTB is one of the best fishing tackle subscription boxes

I mostly fish bass and trout, so I alternate in the winter every month and then when spring approaches I order a few consecutive Trout boxes since I will target those early on in the season, then switch to a bass box.

MTB is likely the most popular subscription box and the first to offer such a service, since they have been around for a long time they now offer bait from over 100 different brands.

Species of fish you can theme your subscription for are Trout, Bass, Walleye, Inshore Saltwater, Panfish, Ice Fishing and Catfish.

Highlights:

• Discount on first box
• Free shipping
• Cancel anytime
• Save up to 40% off MSRP
• Choose additional inexpensive add-ons upon checkout
• How-to videos & tips
• 4.7/5 star review

Warriors Tackle Supply

3 Types of Boxes:

• STD $19.99/month ($35 value)
• XL $26.99 /month ($50 value)
• PRO $42.99 /month ($70 value

The setup to select a box is a bit different with Warrior Supply Tackle, first you select if you want a one time box or monthly, then in the setup wizard you select which of the 3 boxes you want to purchase.

Once on the next step you will click on pictures of different species of fish – you can select them all, a few, or just one. Next you select payment cadence, whether you want to pay month-by-month, 3, 6 or 12 months and then proceed to checkout.

Once the WTS team receives you selection, they will curate a box based on your selections.

Highlights:

• Free shipping
• Cancel anytime
• Skip a month
• Purchase one time or monthly recurring
• 4/5 star review

*WTS does not offer a discount on your first box

Lucky Tackle Box

3 Types of Boxes:

• Regular $16.99/month ($25 value, 5 bass baits)
• XL $26.99 /month ($40 value, 7 bass or multi-species baits)
• Tournament $46 /month ($85 value, 13-16 bass or multi-species baits)

Lucky Tackle Box primarily focuses on bass fishing – you only get multi-species if you order the XL or Tournament box. If you’re a bass angler, this would be one of the best fishing tackle subscription boxes in this list aside from the MTB bass box. Prices are competitive among tackle subscription boxes and selections depend on fishing tendencies, described as:

Regular Bass – Casual anglers who like to discover new baits to try.

XL – Most popular for experienced anglers looking to build up their tackle box while trying new lures.

Tournament – Mostly for professionals and contains proven baits that you would definitely use in tournament mode and doesn’t include anything you would experiment with.

Highlights:

• Free shipping
• Cancel anytime
• Videos & tips for eachproduct
• Designated box for tournament competitors
• Discount on your first box
• 4/5 star review

MonsterBass

2 Types of Boxes:

• The Big Bass Box $25/month ($35 value)
• Regional Pro Series $35/month ($50 value)

You can take a good guess at what type of tackle you will receive from MonsterBass given their name. They have an interesting curation process where they ask you four questions and their team builds your box based on the response to each:

• Where do you live and fish?
• What’s your skill level?
• Do you typically fish from a boat, the bank or both?
• What are your favorite baits?

What I really like about this subscription box is the question about whether you fish from a bank, boat or both. Most subscription boxes send you a variety of baits, but can you imagine receiving a deep-diver if you primarily bank fish?

There is also an education component to their subscription, they ask about your skill level and then send tips & techniques in an email on how to use your new tackle.

Highlights:

• Free Shipping
• Cancel Anytime
• 6-8 baits depending on box
• Curation based on location & method
• 4/5 star review

The Bottom Line:

Any of these boxes are great selections depending on what species of fish you are going after. If you’re an angler that targets bass or a tournament bass angler, then the Lucky Tackle Box & MonsterBass boxes are the right fit for you.

If you fish many species then Warrior Tackle Supply and Mystery Tackle Box are your best choices. My suggestion is Mystery Tackle Box since they have amassed a large amount of companies in their rolodex and you can keep it simple by just selecting a species to stock your supply when running low.

Going with one of the 4 best fishing tackle subscription boxes will help get your tackle collection started and help grow your daily selection month by month.
