Tons Of Fishing Stuff - A Tale of Two Siblings
Mike & Diana July 2005 Largest Tacle Box On Wheels1

The Evolution of Tons Of Fishing Stuff

     Our father humbly began his own fishing bait business when he retired from the Air Force. He bought about 2,000 African Nightcrawlers from a grower who also had a produce stand, packed them in a wooden box with peat moss and carried them in his little Renault from Missouri out to California. This was before cars had air conditioners, so we can only imagine what happened to those poor little worms in the trek across the desert!

     Fortunately, Dad was not easily daunted and so started all over again with new worms and a piece of property in Fontana, California (San Bernardino County) big enough to grow his own. He named his company Inland Empire Bait & Tackle and grew it into a very profitable business before ill health forced him to retire. We offered a wide variety of live baits and some tackle. We even snelled our own fishing hooks! Ah! The good old days digging around in rabbit manure rich worm beds finding just the right size worms for our boxes; staying up late at night until our eyes crossed snelling hooks; getting a form of hay fever from packing mealworms; driving all over the southwest delivering products!

Mike & Diana July 2005 Largest Tacle Box On Wheels2

     

      After Dad retirement, my brother, Mike took over the business. That was about 30 years ago. It has gone through several phases from mostly live bait and wholesale delivery to brick and mortar retail stores, to what Mike has today a mobile operation. He calls it The World Largest Tackle Box on Wheels! He winters in Parker, Arizona and during the summer travels up into Oregon and California to take advantage of the fishing season in those cooler climes away from the tremendous desert heat.

      Many of his customers suggested that he sell on eBay and that where I have come back into the picture. While Mike has become a fisherman extraordinaire, I have learned about computers. What a winning combination! Wee very pleased to be participating in this exciting world of online sales. We are thrilled to be able to reach out to a greater number of people.

So what in this World Largest Tackle Box on Wheels?

Swivels

We have a wide range of sizes of brass barrel and snap swivels; black barrel and interlocking snap swivels and chrome and black crane swivels. We also have a few sizes of the coastal interlocking snaps as well.

Fishing Line

We carry the fusion 12# SpiderWire. This line is the diameter of 8# test with the tensile strength of 12#. It is a fluorescent yellow color; 4# test (clear) in 2,000 yard spools; SpiderWire 8# test (light pink) in 1,500 yard spools; 25# and 40# test metal leaders.

Lures

Crankbait We have a Rattletrap style lure (we call them Sinking Rattlers); they look and catch just like the original; have loud rattles; in 3 sizes (2 , 3" & 4") with a wide selection of colors. We have stick hard body lures which are similar to Rapala Minnows. These are deep, medium or shallow divers with 3, 5, 7 and 9 inch body lengths and a jointed 7 inch deep diver; variety of colors. Another hard bait that we carry is the round-body style similar to a Bagley Kill B Rattle or a Bandit Series Crankbait. We have them in a 2 inch shallow diver, 2 5/8 inch medium diver and a 3 inch deep diver; variety of color choices.

We offer you a Kastmaster imitation lure. This is our Prism Lure. The body is elongated so that it has a little bit more weight than the Kastmasters. As a result, they have much better jigging action. They come in 5 sizes oz., oz.. 1 oz., 1 oz. and 1 oz. Each size has 4 colors Red Prism, Blue Prism, Green Prism & Chartreuse Prism.

Another fine lure in our line is a curved, metal fish, which is an imitation Phoebe Lure. We have these in a number of sizes: 2, 2 5/8 inch, including the harder-to-find larger sizes: 3nbsp;and 5 inch in 3 colors: silver, gold and bronze. These are a flat, hammered metal, curved fish lure. They are light in weight making them excellent trolling and casting lures.

Spinner Lures both inline and dressed inline spinners in an array of blade sizes, styles and color choices We carry our own brand in lieu of the higher-priced, name brand inline spinners such as Panther Martin, Blue Foxes and Mepps Rooster Tails.

Plastic Baits - We are thrilled to offer you Alex Langer Flying Lures in the 2 , 4  & 6 inch sizes in an assortment of colors. We sell them in packs of 100 bodies plus 10 leadheads. These are really excellent bait. Fish love them! Plastic Critter baits worms, grubs, lizards, frogs, shad in a variety of sizes and color choices.

Surface Lures 2 inch Popper with a concave mouth very much like the Lew Popper Speed Lures. We also carry the smaller Poppers in 2 sizes; they are brightly colored with feathers and tails/legs; similar to a Popper Fly. Topwater Lure

Hooks: Eagle Claw Bronze Treble Hooks; nickle treble hooks; gold treble hooks; snelled hooks; egg hooks; treble hooks; medium shank bait holder hooks and long shank bait holder hooks; Crappie Rigs;

Sinkers /B> We have many styles and weights of sinkers and in time these will be listed on our site; sliding sinker rigs; sinker releases that allow your bait to stay at the bottom until the fish strikes. The strike releases the sinker and allows you to fight the fish, not the fish and the sinker; sliders that facilitate quick changing of tackle; sinker eyelets.

Miscellaneous Terminal Tackle: bait nets; fish nets; Bobbers; floats; Cheaters; colorful plastic beads; fishing rod bells; rod holders; stringers, both nylon and metal; scales for weighing your catch (up to 100#); tools such as hemostats and a plier that is 12 tools in one. Very handy!

Rods: We have a tremendous inventory of rods which at present time are not listed in our eBay store. It only a matter of time what we do have listed is a lightweight Pack Rod, 85% graphite a great little rod that just waiting for a hike to the lake. This rod when put together is just shy of  5 feet in length and will accept a small reel. It a great gift for kids! It comes with a handy cloth carrying/storage case.

Reels: We prefer Okuma reels and in time these will also be listed on our site. You are always welcome to contact us about an item*.

Preserved Baits Berkeley PowerBait; Salmon Eggs; scent Fish Formula game fish, shad and crappie scents.
