token12 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hey guys I don't know where to post this specifically, wish there was a general discussion thread, but has anyone seen or heard about http://hookset.com/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWGFAN Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 They contacted me about setting up a store on their site. Basically, if you sell an item, they make a small commission. If I remember correctly, you list items for free. It sounded like a pretty good deal, but I haven't tried it yet. My regular customers keep me about as busy as I want to be. I think it could be a good way to get exposure for your products. If I ever hit a slow time on sales, I may post a few. The guys that run it seem very helpful and informative. I'm sure they'd be happy to answer any questions you'd have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeee Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'll check it out, maybe if enough builders support them with their products it might become an alternative to Flea-Bay!!!! Ya never know. I met the guys who started up Amazon at a trade show just as they were starting out. Who'd a thunk it ! LOL Wish I had bought shares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt@Hookset Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey guys, thanks for the support. We've been getting lots of traffic from Tackle Underground and we appreciate it. Jdeee, it's funny that you mention Amazon and Ebay. We started Hookset because of friends of mine were struggling to get their products out there online and in stores. There are SO MANY guys making awesome custom baits but it's a huge challenge to get your product out to the masses. We're going to change that! 26 new custom tackle & gear makers got on board Hookset in our first 3 weeks and we're really tremendously happy and thankful for the support. So again thank you! Guys, we're anglers just like you. In fact, we'll be down in Clewiston fishing next week so if you're close by, feel free to connect. #fishcustom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please resend your email to support@hookset.com and to me, it's possible it was caught in a spam filter or we just plain missed it in the shuffle. Appreciate it!
