The internet has fostered the growth in the field of information sharing by leaps and bounds over the last few years. In no small way, websites have helped to form the way we think about fishing, the way we approach our fishing, where we might go fishing, and when we might go fishing. Unfortunately there are places on the internet that have hidden little toys and ploys the pop-up when you don’t want them or find some way to side-track what you are looking at.

At Crappietomtackle.com we feel that information is the crux of what the internet should be. There are a myriad of fishing websites to look through today, yet few garner enough of the attention of Crappietomtackle to merit mentioning. The ones which CT visits on a regular basis give information that is usable and valid, not just a bunch of shoulder patting banter about the “good ol boys”. While some may have more advertising than we prefer, the following few web addresses will provide access to other top-notch tackle sources, excellent straight up advice with lots of information by true leaders in the sport and wonderful places to interact and share your fishing tales without the annoying pop-up advertising. Feel free to contact these sites…… we hope you find some fun in them!

Culprit.com or Luresonline.com………Both of these sites will put you in touch with the best in crappie and panfish plastics access. CT has been fortunate to be a part of the Culprit Crappie Pro Staff for several years and his commitment to the products they make for the every day crappie angler is deep seated. The Culprit Crappie Paddletail is, in CT’s opinion, the finest of any current crappie plastic on the market today and if the package does not have a CULPRIT label on it, you are not getting the finest tackle available. Beware of copies.

IDoFishing.com………..This is an exciting and informative site that hosts everything from innovative tackle to actual television productions. The site is interactive for those who opt to do the free registration. When information is needed in the Minnesota or Wisconsin areas, this site is tops and it is where CT goes to keep informed. No site has better information regarding the Mississippi River from the Twin Cities south into lower Iowa!

Thornebros.com……..Thorne Bros is one of a kind store to say the least. The store began as a source for top-grade Muskie tackle and custom-made rods. It took little time to see the rod building area expand into every nook that angling can create and for ice fishing, panfishing and walleye angling jump right on board in the tackle selection found in this clean, friendly shop. The store employees are professional in every aspect of what the store demands and take that same ideology home with them each day. It was only a matter of time before the folks at ThorneBros decided to expand their store’s product website to include a broad base of forums that allow interaction by simply registering, which is free. Again, this is a site that offers tons of information and gets high marks from CT.

JBLures.com..........JBLures is a Minnesota company that makes great ice fishing tackle as well as some serious open water tackle.The products found on this site cover every angling need from panfish to walleyes to bass and northern. Don't forget trout either. JBLures products are common in many stores

Mattjohnsonoutdoors.com.........Matt is a premier ice angler/guide who has a tremendous amount of insight in the panfish world. He has led a series of panfish ice contests for a few years now and continues to share his wealth of knowledge thru this web page, Thorne Bros where he works and in several other venues on a professional basis. I know Matt personally as well as his entire family.
