ABOUT BARLOW'S TACKLE
BARLOW'S LEGACY
Barlow’s Tackle is not just a tackle company; we are a family legacy deeply rooted in the love of fishing. Our story began over 50 years ago when Bill and Pat Barlow, our parents, decided to embark on a journey driven by Bill’s passion for fishing. Bill, an avid fisherman, faced a frustration common back then – finding the right tackle. Determined to solve this and armed with a background in chemistry and a do-it-yourself spirit, he delved into the world of tackle crafting. Through trial and error, he perfected the process, but he was frustrated at being unable to find all the materials he needed from a single source.
Sensing an opportunity, he started placing small ads in the classified sections of outdoor magazines, offering the fishing materials and products he had developed. Before long, Barlow’s Tackle was born. From humble beginnings, with our very first catalog, our journey in the world of fishing tackle began.
Over the years, we’ve evolved and experienced numerous transformations – three different warehouses, a brief venture into live bait sales, and countless experiments. But amid all the changes, one thing has remained constant – our unwavering dedication to providing fishing enthusiasts with the finest tackle components to craft their perfect gear.
PLEASE NOTE: We closed our retail store in 2020 to support continued growth in our online business. We are no longer open to walk-in customers.
WHAT SETS BARLOW'S APART
At Barlow’s, we’re not your typical tackle shop. We only sell tackle components. Unlike other stores that sell branded, finished tackle or complete rods and reels, we focus solely on the essential building blocks of your gear. We bid farewell to our retail store a few years back, reinforcing our commitment to tackle builders.
Our singular dedication sets us apart – there’s nothing else that distracts us from helping anglers with their own tackle. We live and breathe tackle components, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this niche.
