Showcasing angling ingenuity, innovation, and excellence
About the Golden Tackle Box Award
The Golden Tackle Box Award showcases angling ingenuity, innovation, and excellence in its many forms. Whether it's a new design, a little-known product that is beginning to trend, an import that is new to the United States, or a new technique that rejuvenates a veteran piece of gear, Tim "Tackle Box" Bete wants to make it better know by sharing it with the World! Tim's unique audio/video reviews (along with Lucy the Lurematic Supercomputer) are shared on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and also often appear on the Fish Nerds Podcast.
There is no fee to be considered for the award but only about 1-in-50 products earns the coveted Golden Tackle Box seal of approval. If you'd like to be considered for the award, please submit an inquiry using the form below. Tim will let you know if he'd like to review your prouduct and will instruct you where to mail review samples. Sending review samples does not guarantee a review. Only positive reviews will be published--if your product does not meet the standard for a Golden Tackle Box Award, no negative review will appear.
All Golden Tackle Box Award winners will be provided with logo art with their company name for use in ads, social media, packaging, or however the winner would like to use it.
