Default Salmon/Steelhead Gear Catalog?

Anyone aware of a retailer--large or small--that puts together a catalog of salmon and steelhead fishing gear? I've never seen one, but it seems completely absurd to me that one doesn't exist--at least somewhere. After all, there are catalogs for virtually everything else, why not salmon and steelhead gear? Just got the new Bass Pro yesterday in the mail, and I thought how great it would be to be able to order all of my gear for the year from the comfort of my Lazy Boy.

Cabela's has a pretty complete catalog if you don't mind pictures of your gammies in the mouth of a Largemouth Bass. I don't usually buy from a catalog because I don't get up to date info nor do I support the local businesses that have bailed me out in the past. My go to source is much more local. Do a search for Fisherman's Shack.

Try www.berrysbait.com. Prices in C$'s so multiply by 0.67 to get US dollars. Variety and service are very good. T: 1-604-273-5901, and you can order a hard copy catalog from them as well.

Luhr Jensen puts out a very good catalog, but the pricing is "retail plus 20%" so be prepared to pay up for the extra variety. www.luhrjensen.com.

Fisherman's Shack is on www.**************.com. Good for spinner and spoon components, plus misc hardware.

I also check out www.gofishin.com every month under "salmon" and see what odd-lots and bin-ends they have on a heavily discounted basis.

Anybody ever hear of Gorilla Bros. or Gorilla and Sons or something like that? I had a catalog years ago and it was the best one I've ever seen for the salmonid fisherman. I think they were in Washington somewhere, they had an 800 number but it was busy every time I called..........I heard they may have gone outta business.......The new BASSPRO came the other day, you know, mnyeh.....

I also have an old Gorilla & Son's catalogue from years past. They were very reasonable even with the shipping added in. Also have had zero luck getting in contact for a new catalogue. If anyone knows a new number/name or whatever, it would be a good one. Otherwise, Cabela's is about as close as you'll get with exception of the links posted already.

Gorilla & sons are or were out of Bellingham WA. and seems like they tried to start out to big to fast.They folded their tackle business after a year or two and after that all they were selling was cutlery.Too bad the stuff I ordered was good at a good price... :depressed:

I loved Gorilla and Sons. Was a great catalog and was MUCH easier to send in money the to do phone contact. I think they totaly folded. I got their catalogs, then nothiing. I remember they had their oown line of Llami's custom built for them at the Lami factory. I od mis buying my corkies iin bulk.

Not sure of any true salmon/steelhead fishing catalog. Unless you count my garage. LOL Have quite the collection of okies (couple thousand). But none of my sstuff is for sale. :smile:

Ii've tried most of th siites listed. Youu can get som good detailsoon gofshin, jus have to be in right place at right timme on there.
