Guides & Tops - Important News!!

While reading all the posts lately about different guides it occurred to me that people may not realize the huge inventory of guides and tops Merrick Tackle carries.

Currently in stock and ready to ship are Fuji’s Folding Surf Guides. These new guides are super-light, not like the heavier older version. They are durable, high framed, surf/spinning guides made to fold down for easy traveling. Fuji S.I.C. Tops in sizes 16-20, 16-22 & 16-26, for those big, heavy rods! Ice fishing guides and tops with ring size of 16 and a tube size of 4-6.5! These are just a few of the items mentioned in recent posts. In addition to Fuji products we also carry extensive lines from Aftco, PacBay, Perfection, Amtak, Merrick’s Foul Proof, Hopkins, Rec, Stuart & Titanium Snakes. Whether you are looking for top of the line or to save money, unique or common, “Merrick Tackle’s Got it!”

Coming soon will be “top of the line” Recoil Spinning and Casting Rod Guides and Tops composed of 100% Nickel Titanium Alloy (shape memory material). Top loops composed of 100% Nickel Titanium Alloy, tubes are anodized aluminum. Both single and double foot.
We are constantly finding new items to add to all that we already carry. We have built up a reputation for having many unique and hard to find items right on our shelves!

But- Don’t stop with guides & tops-- if you are a dealer and qualify to buy wholesale you can get the whole enchilada from us! Rod Components, Reels, Rods, Line, Terminal Tackle. Lures and the bags to carry them in, Gloves, Boots, Waders, and our very popular “Bronco” Neoprene Jackets. Books, videos, rod racks, fish bags, gaffs-- and so much more!
We are your complete source, one-stop, shop and $ave wholesale catalog.

No we do not sell retail-- but, many of the fine companies listed at
the left are our customers and can buy from us for you. Just tell
them "Merrick Tackle's Got it!." That's all they need to know.

Scott I have access to your catalog although I don't buy direct and there is one thing wrong with your system,simply put the vast majority of rodbuilders who don't have direct access to your catalog have no way of knowing what you do have and it is one big catalog. Most builders will look in their own vendors catalog and if a specific item isn't listed it's assumed they don't carry it or don't have the size needed.A few of us have been playing with what we refer to as chinese handcuffs{used as a butt wrap}and I would venture to say most of the users of this site are totally unaware of there existance.

Any retail buyer that has a Merrick Catalog and is looking for a product they carry, we are more than willing to assist you! We do deal with Merrick & will keep our prices reasonable!
There will be mark ups from what you see listed due to manufacturers marking up items that cannot be listed once the catalog is printed & the need to cover our costs. Contact us & we will be more than happy to assist you!
Thanks,
Tom Wolfe

Like Last Cast, we at Summer Moon can also help you get
anything you need from Merrick. They do have a vast inventory
and offer fast service-- so if you see something on their web site
that you just have to have, get in touch with us-- or ask your retailer
to contact Merrick. Summer Moon's link is at the left-- be sure
to get our catalog since our website is still under construction.

John,
I agree. There are so many products exactly like the Chinese Handcuffs you mentioned that need to be given some attention.
We have been working diligently to correct that problem and hope
to have all of our products up on the website for anyone to view.
Since we are wholesale ony, pricing will still only be available for our customers through other means. But, the good news is that anyone
interested in building rods will have access to all our product descriptions and item numbers. We hope to have this done by early next year-- so keep checking our website and let your favorite retailer know that they can get it for you from Merrick Tackle.
In the meantime, we do try to get the information for newer items on
the site. Check our banner on the home page for up to the minute info.
Scott
