2018 Collegiate Angler Survey Results

PURCHASING / RETAIL HABITS We asked each collegiate angler what locations or websites they shop for fishing gear-tackle. As part of the question, they were also asked to list their top three choices where they did their shopping. In some cases they listed only one or two answers and ten didn’t list anything.

Interesting Note

We’re seeing a large number of smaller website fishing companies sponsoring collegiate bass teams and these anglers are displaying their logos on fishing jerseys. Another thing to note is that Amazon , Tackle Addicts , Land Big Fish are new- comers in the Top 3 choices for college anglers to shop.
