Title: Biggest Tackle Store in the World
Post by: Ben Rutkin on November 19, 2009, 10:11:26 PM

Hey Everyone,

Was trying to find out where the largest tackle store in the world is located.

There is a store in Houston Texas called Fishing Tackle Unlimited that claims to be the biggest and Im wondering if anyone else in their worldly experience knows of a bigger one.

Ther has to be some monster stores in Asia......

My friend came back from Japan last year, and he said the tackle stores there (whilst crammed with top end gear) were surprisingly small.

Not familiar with that store in Houstan, but the biggest I've been in are the two Basspro stores in the Florida and Fort Lauderdale region. They are bigger than a typical K mart or Big W store here in Australia.

Ben,

Are you trying to sly $20k without sharing?  ;)

I only stumbled across this because of this thread and i thought Mo's was the biggest here but wasnt sure about the global claim.

Yeah I had a crack at it but didn't see it till a day after they posted it.

The one in Texas was the first suggested, but I wasn't first in.

Apparently they are investigating.  The floorspace may be bigger but Mo are suggesting they don't have the same amount of stock.

Hey if I tell everyone then I have no chance.  Cant share what you dont have.
