I signed up for Mystery Tackle Box…
I signed up for Mystery Tackle Box because I was interested in trying out new lures and gear without having to do all the research myself. The idea is great: you get a box of surprise tackle every month, and the first few boxes were really exciting and felt like great value. The lures were effective on the water, and the included tips along with the QRcode videos were a nice feature that helped me understand how to use some of the new baits. Still, things got a bit annoying as I started to notice a drop in quality and value. There were times when the box seemed to have been stuffed with useful gear, but several times it was full of things I already had or simply did not really need, and the alleged 'over $25 value' didn't always correspond to what I found at the stores. Shipping was generally fine, but a couple of times the orders were delayed with no information given, and the staff was friendly but took a while to get back to you. In general, if you like variety and don't mind paying a little extra for the element of surprise, it is a nice subscription, but the lack of consistency makes me rate it only three stars.
