Would you like to voice your opinion on stocking a new store?

I’m drafting a product list for a new store opening near the Mississippi river. They haven’t authorized me to publicly give any info, so at this time, let’s just say they will service guys traveling P4 to P10 in WI.

I had a great conversation with them this last summer and this is not within my territory or my account. We have a different rep that works with them, but I was asked for input based on my history of fishing multi-species on the Miss. Well, since I’m drafting an email to them, I wanted to include your feedback. This is public, so it also can give other retailers that are on here the same opportunity to read your thoughts.
We all have gone to stores we like but found they didn’t carry what we felt was essential items to our region – here’s you chance for a say in the matter.

What would be helpful is: Species – Manufacture – model – color. That way I can just copy/paste the info and send it to the buyer from your perspective.

Bass – Koppers Live target – Gizzard Shad (small) Pearl

Walleye – CJS – Ringworm – Electric blue pearl

Pike – Worden’s Jackpot – Perch

Bass – Berkley PowerTubes and Chigger Craws on Fin-Tech TitleShot jigs. 1/8 for craws, 1/16 for tubes. Bomber Square A in Baby Threadfin Shad. Yum Dinger, 4″ for smallies, 5″ for LM.

Walleye – Fin-Tech KnuckleBall jigs!

Pike – Rapala X-Rap in the perch color is deadly just about everywhere I’ve ever been.

Jeez, now I just gave away my whole tackle box full of open water secrets. All guaranteed to catch fish.

Pre rigged tackle such as those being touted by the guys that fish the living snot out of pool 4. These rigs are more specific to river fishing and being able to purchase them on the spot and keep them in their packages till you need them preventing that tangled mess associated with these contraptions would be great.

Need to be more specific. If I give this to a buyer, it goes in the garbage can

I’m not the authority on this but I see similar rigs on different rivers, some go by the name wolf river rigs, Lindey rigs, Denver rigs, river rat Randy rigs, ect. I know these are small niche products and don’t even know if they are massed produced….yet. But would greatly enhance the river fishing experience.

Clown, I understand what your stating. This company sought me ought because of my local and the ability to field info. You get me a manufacture / name / model and I will put it in the list to them.

Lindey is probably the only tackle manufacturer that mass produces although probably not the most effective. I guess I am using you as a conduit in this situation by using your access to both sides being the retailer and the manufacturer. Kind of like hey xxx corp, if you start making these I have stores that will buy them.

All below for walleye, and I would assume someone opening a store would have at least some knowledge of the good color choices for their area.

Flicker shads – all colors are good, but blue tiger, firetiger, black/silver, black/gold are must haves
Flicker minnows – same colors
Floating rapalas – typical colors.
shad raps
blade baits
jigging raps (or suitable option like moonshines)
lipless cranks like rattle traps and rapalas equivalent
slow death hooks of any brand
bottom bouncers
3-waying sinkers of sizes from 1 to 6 oz
Jig heads in multiple styles and all weights from 1/64 up to 1.5 oz
large selection of plastics (ringworms, flukes, curlytail grubs, paddle tails, etc.)
hair jigs

Massively intelligent idea Randy

1st you show me your list,then I’ll show you mine.

Jezz, I nearly forgot my all-time favorite for bass.

Not only guaranteed to catch fish but guaranteed to put a big smile on a kids face. I’ve won tournaments on it. Get the root beer color.

Randy,

This is not a manufactured product, but worth noting.

Quality live bait!
-Large suckers for winter tip-up fishing.
-Willow cats that haven’t been farmed.

FDR

A store that has crankbaits and clips for them.

Colored fishing line.

H2O jigs in bulk packs.

Draggin jigs.

Quality hair jigs at a decent price.

Randy, Just go to Everts and snap some photos of their walls.

Better yet,AFFORDABLE willow cats.I must be dreaming,’eh?

As mentioned,plastics.
Pulse-rs in both sizes.Same with moxies.
Super-doos are another good one.Great finesse bait for summer smallmouths.
Pre-tied 3-way rigs(like Wolf river style).The guys that fish the floats would snap these up.
And the ever popular current cutter flat head hair jigs.

X2 – they don’t have everything…but if you can’t get bit on what they’ve got, they ain’t biting.

SPAM and a jar of spicy jelly.

Oh you were talking tackle, sorry

Last shot to be heard. I’m sending them my email with recommendations tonight. I would have thought more guys would speak up on this.

Nobody suggested Banjo Minnow?

Ok,

Seriously though. Giant suckers and creek chubs, bullheads too.
Maybe a dark lit corner for selling shad

Hooks from 1/0 – 13/0

That alone would get my business.

Walleye – Rapala – Shad Rap – Jointed Shad Rap

Blue, Gold, Hot Tiger, Firetiger, Perch, Red Crawdad.

Walleye – Salmo – Hornet – 4 & 5 – Gold Metallic Orange, Silver Metallic Orange, Green Tiger, Hot Perch.

While you can’t ‘snap a picture of Everts’ as someone suggested, the key message here is for the shop to build a relationship with local small manufacturer’s and carry their products. Pay attention to what your customers ask for, make a list of items they ask for and you don’t have, then supply the ones that show up frequently. The reason we all shop at Evert’s is the ability to find things that work and aren’t readily available elsewhere.

Good luck.

The reason we all shop at Evert’s is the ability to find things that work and aren’t readily available elsewhere.

The reason I don’t shop at Everts is because I won’t drive 90 miles north when I need 2 more bags of 2.45 pink/white Pulse-rs. I do shop at Everts when I go to the north end of P4.

Just keep in mind that store buyers are like underwriters. They are a secret society that most people will never get to talk to. Their job is to guess at what products will sell and how many to stock. Unlike the big box stores that buy in a corporate manor with blinders to region, this store is making a serious inquiry. Its not a little Ma/Pa shop and they will grow it with service.
Just reiterating the fact that this is a shot at being heard for day 1. Not walking in and WISHING they had something and having it added to the wish list for NEXT YEAR.

I don’t think I’ve EVER purchased just 2 bags of BFISHN plastics at a time…

LuckyEStrike Jobee hooks 1/4 oz

Working with wholesale reps will go a long ways towards helping to fill the shelves of a store. They know what sells in your area and are motivated by return business to keep your best interests in mind. While some local companies are necessary for stuff that is very location specific, its been my experience that kitchen companies are much harder and more expensive to deal with in the long run

I think you missed my point Randy. I don’t need to drive 90 miles for anything. I have a FF, Gander, and Cabelas within 10 miles of home, but I do far more fishing gear purchasing at a place where I can get an expert opinion, up to the minute, with gear not available (in all cases) at a big box. My idea was to encourage the store to pay attention to the little local guys. That will differentiate them everytime from the above mentioned mega stores. Focus on service and advice and something to make us want to visit vs. stopping and fighting the crowds and 30 rows of gear, with no help in sight.

Cougareye, fully respect where your going with that in the long run. I’m addressing the short term – day 1 – grand opening – first time a customer walks in the store – GETTING IT ORDERED THIS BUY SEASON.

I’m just more surprised that more people didn’t jump in on an opportunity to spell out what they want. I sent them the email last night and already got the call today. We are writing orders for all the products I represent from catfish, panfish, to muskie. I also set them up with the rep from another agency to write orders on products listed above that I don’t rep. This is a BIG BOY order. With an open checkbook, they are willing to buy. Wouldn’t it be nice to see what you want the first time? Granted, they have to do that for ordering Spring goods this next fall and should increase their stock. Instead of people going in and asking them to stock it NEXT YEAR, why not contribute to a list now, and have it on a rush order to stock a store this spring. Why wait??

I do appreciate those above that added to the approximate 300 SKUs we sent them. They heard you loud and clear and they are willing to put the majority of it in their store..

Don’t get frustrated with me but it may be that we would expect a ‘big boy’ order to hit 80% of the demand without help.

For me, I can’t tell you what to stock. I have to be told (read online or inperson) or sold at the store in addition to what I already know.

Retailers may want to start considering setting up gear packages to the local area. If a catfish bite is known to the area, having an endcap with the line, hooks, bait(artificial), with the recs in writing would be huge. Otherwise, I wander into a mega store, and have 20-30 choices of hooks, weights, line, etc. I have to figure it out or know what I want. Don’t be afraid to tell us ‘what we want’.

I thought of a few more.

Walleye – Jigs – Offsize weights – 3/32 & 5/16.

Bomber A’s – Peacock

Eric, not frustrated with you at all – sorry if it was coming across that way.
