What makes us so darn special? Well, besides great prices and an extensive selection, we stock what we sell. We believe in the gear we offer, enough so that we invest in the inventory. This is one thing that makes us unique in the world of internet commerce apparently. Many of our competitors do not actually maintain an inventory, we do! Because we stock what we sell we can ship in a more timely fashion, and buffer periodic shortages from suppliers. The items listed on CharkBait are things we stock, in our warehouse. We have both a retail store and a large warehouse, both located in Huntington Beach California. We maintain a million dollar inventory of fishing equipment so that we can supply our clients in a timely fashion. We are not some phantom on the 'net, unlike many operations you'll come across on-line. You can feel secure working with us, knowing that should there be any problem with an item or order we'll work to resolve it properly. We've been serving clients on-line for over 10 years time.

We are large enough to purchase directly form most of our suppliers rather than solely through a distributor or other third party. This cuts our operating cost, which results in better values for our clients. It also ensures warranty coverage should that be necessary down the road. We are listed with Huntington Beach's Better Business Bureau, we have a track record with clients and with manufacturers. CharkBait's been around for over ten years now. We employ ten people currently, each committed to doing their best to serve our clients. Fact is, five out of ten folks working here own their own boats and the rest of us are avid fishermen and fisherwomen. We're not perfect, but we're working on it. We've improved each year, and we'll continue to strive to perform to your highest expectations. We were the first on-line tackle shop, it's our goal to be your favorite option for purchasing quality fishing gear. If ever there is a time when you are dissatisfied with the service you receive from us, please contact me directly. I recognize our responsibility to serve our clients respectfully, and I appreciate your patronage and support.

Sincerely,
Mark Smith,
Owner/Operator

Do not use torpedo sinkers to plug up any orifice. Never sprinkle split shot on your pizza instead of crushed peppers, and never include them in chocolate chip cookies in place of chocolate chips. It's also a really good idea to brush your teeth at least twice a day, eat an apple every day or so, and make sure everything is put away before zipping up your trousers... Sorry, California tries to accommodate a lot of really stupid people, the majority of whom apparently "work" in Sacramento and have law degrees...

We do apologize for any inconvenience this policy creates. But, it's the only way we've found to post an email address on-line and not receive so many solicitations from some family member of a deceased "Nigerian" leader trying to move great sums of $ out of the country...
