I am a rodbuilder who builds for fun, not profit. I am very interested in some of the components from Merrick Tackle but I have no tax ID number so I can't even get a catalogue. The online catalogue doesn't show enough detail. My question, can i not buy their product if I am not a business? They seem to have nice stuff.

Frank -
I don't think they've produced a new hard bound catalog in a couple of years. They do have a network of suppliers who sell their products retail. Give them a call and explain what you want to do Colleen and the other ladies who answer the phone are very helpful

Merrick Tackle is a wholesale distributor. They sell only to retail businesses. You can buy there products from their retailers. They have sev eral #'s and an email that you can communicate with them and find a retailer near you or mail order.

It's been a while, but Schneider's Rod Shop was a dealer. Buy enough to make it worth their while to help, and they will stay a dealer.
