Jax Cat Tackle
Jax Cat Tackle
Because we love to fish!
Jax Cat Tackle was started in the spring of 2008. What seemed like a pipe dream at the time has continually grown with each month. Our primary goal has been to provide the best service while offering the best prices we can. We thank you for taking an interest in our company and hope that we can help you with all of your fishing needs.
We are located in the beautiful Berkshires in the small town of Becket Massachusetts. Becket is home to many small lakes and ponds. Most of these bodies of water are home to bass. We love to fish and catch both large and small mouth bass. Our family fishes almost daily from spring to fall. On occasion, we venture out to go ice fishing too. Clearly we do love to fish. We hope to pass on this passion to new anglers and hope that we might rekindle that passion in the more experienced anglers we work with.
At Jax Cat Tackle you will get an honest price and service with integrity. That's our promise. We have seen other websites garauntee the lowest prices with all the flash and fanfare that goes with it. We don't make those types of promises. We simply strive to offer the lowest prices we can, while providing the exceptional service you want. In the end, our prices are among the lowest you'll find. We beleive that once you have puchased from us you'll come back again. It's a relationship and we work at making it last!

With our hatcam kit, experiences that would be just a memory can now be captured forever.
Professional Reel Service
Our services include reel cleaning, repair, tuning, and upgrades.
We service most makes and models of quality fishing reels.
Whether you are a recreational angler, a true weekend warrior or a full time tournament angler, you will find that complete cleaning, tuning, and proper lubrication is the key to your fishing reel's performance. Without proper maintenance, a layer of old grease and dirt will build up on the inside of your reel. This layer will eventually wreak havoc with the precision inner workings of your reel.
Having your reels serviced at least once a year will prevent this buildup and give your reel the performance that you deserve. At Professional Reel Service, customer satisfaction is our #1 priority. Our dedication to treating your reels as if they were our own is what keeps our customers satisfied and your equipment running smooth.

Crucial Tackle
Crucial Tackle started as a passion for fishing. As a youth, the owner fished all the ponds and streams he could find. As he grew, this passion for fishing caused him to move his family to several popular lakes in the state of Texas. Eventually the company owner became a part-time fishing guide on Lake Fork, Texas' premier fishing water.
The desire to have the best tackle available at the best prices prompted him to begin selling tackle to his friends and clients in 1998. He continues to research and offer the best tackle at the best prices.
Custom Fishing Skirts
Tired of the same old spinnerbait offerings at the tackle shop? Now is your chance to change those boring old skirts!
Custom Fishing Skirts has been in business since May of 2007. We started out making customized spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and jigs for ourselves and our friends. Then we started Big Mouth Baits and Skirts selling to every one. We began making the skirts for the lures ourselves also.
As time went by, we started stocking more colors and patterns for making skirts and began customization of them as well. The demand for fishing skirts has grown for us so we created a website just for all the skirt patterns and colors available. That is how Custom Fishing Skirts began and continues to grow as we create replacement skirts for fishermen all around the world. We have shipped our skirts to almost all 50 states and have shipped to Canada, France, Australia, Costa Rica, Italy, and many other countries. Our first full year in business (2008) we made over 5,000 fishing replacement skirts.

We specialize in providing custom paint schemes on all types of hard baits. We can put any of our colors or your own creations on any type of crankbait, topwater, jerkbait or swimbait. Our paint schemes are being fished and winning tournaments all over the country. We provide an edge to the serious tournament fisherman to the casual weekend angler.
Do you have a tackle box full of baits that have seen better days? We can make them look like new again with one of our tournament proven paint jobs. Do you have a favorite color that has a been discontinued? We can recreate it for you on any brand you like.
All of our paintjobs are protected by a super tough yet lightweight clear coating. Unlike a lot of custom painters we don't use epoxy for clear coating. The secret coating we use to clear our baits bonds to the paint for a lure that will hold up well to years of hard fishing. Also unlike most epoxies it is UV stable, so your lure won't turn yellow when the sun hits it. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
