Anglers in the circle.
I really like the Insider Program because it gives average anglers the chance to have real input on baits in an industry where that never happens. It’s only the pro’s that get those opportunities.
Following the pro tours most of the guys winning are doing it on prototype baits. I think it’s awesome for a weekend tournament angler to have access to a prototype bait and know the fish are seeing the bait for the first time.
Already sent a picture of the 13.11 lb. largemouth caught on the stash.
Very excited to receive my baits every month! It keeps me up on all of the newest cutting edge of the sport I love!
It's very cool to try new stuff that other guys don't have.
I like getting to try different things while I am fishing. I fish 3-5 times a week so it’s fun getting to use new gear.
I like to try new things and being retired I have the time to play around and try baits out.
Love that I get to fish baits that the public can’t get yet, and that we get to give feedback on it.

Frequently asked
questions
What is the Core Tackle Insider Program?
An exclusive membership that gives you a tactical head start: first access to our newest innovations before they ever hit the market. Each month you receive our latest field-ready designs, months before they reach store shelves.
How does it work?
Once you enroll, you're in the inner circle. The same week every month we ship your Insider drop. You get the gear, hit the water, and gain access to our private forum and live-streams to see how other Insiders are finding success.
When will my baits ship?
All drops ship the first week of the month. The cutoff is the last day of the prior month. Enroll any time this month and your first package ships the first week of next month. Delivery typically takes 3–5 business days, with tracking by email.
How many baits will I receive each month?
We aim for at least $30–$40 of baits in every drop: a hard bait, soft bait, or terminal tackle design each month. The exact count depends on the item, but the value always exceeds your subscription price.
How do I share my field intel?
Every shipment includes an Insider Access Card with a QR code. Scan it to rate action, durability and colors for your water, and upload catches. Your experience helps shape how these baits are taught to everyone else at launch.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, in two clicks: from the portal link in any subscription email, or from your account. Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid the next charge. No contracts.
What is the return policy?
Because these are exclusive, unreleased items, Insider drops are non-returnable. Damaged or missing items? Contact info@coretackle.com within 48 hours and we'll make it right.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and PayPal.
