Angler's

Pro Tackle & Outdoors

From a Garage in North Texas
to a National Brand

How a small fishing tackle operation grew into one of America's most complete online outdoor gear stores — and why the best is still ahead



Founder of Angler's Pro Tackle & Outdoors

Angler's Pro Tackle & Outdoors began in 2009 as a small fishing tackle business operating out of a garage in North Texas. What started as a lean, local operation grew quickly into a 7,000-square-foot outdoor supply store that served thousands of customers for more than a decade.

During those years on the retail floor, a reputation was built the old-fashioned way: wide product selection, straight talk, and a loyalty that kept anglers and hunters coming back season after season.


The product line expanded far beyond fishing tackle over the years. Hunting equipment, camping supplies, paddlesports, outdoor cooking, hand tools, footwear, and apparel all joined the shelves. The store became a one-stop destination for customers ranging from seasoned bass tournament anglers to families packing for their very first camping trip.

"Our move online changes how you shop — not who we are."

— Rick, Founder
Online Only

Over the past several years online sales grew faster than foot traffic — and the data made the decision clear. The website was outpacing the physical store as the primary way customers shopped with us.

After careful planning, Angler's Pro Tackle & Outdoors transitioned to a fully online operation in December 2025 to focus entirely on serving customers nationwide.

What Going Online Makes Possible

The shift to eCommerce removes the geographic ceiling that limited a physical store. New gear is added weekly. Product selection grows faster than any retail shelf ever allowed. Competitive pricing is easier to maintain without the overhead of a 7,000-square-foot building. And every order ships with responsive, knowledgeable support behind it.

The catalog at anglersprotackle.com now carries products from more than 400 suppliers — hard-to-find brands, regional specialties, and mainstream staples all in one place. If they make it, we carry it.

What Has Not Changed

Family ownership. Experienced product selection built on decades of time on the water and in the field. Fair pricing. Support from people who have actually used the gear they're selling.
