I was shopping an on-line tackle supplier (no it’s not TW) and noticed they offer financing.
For example a jig that sells for $4.85 can be paid off with 4 installments of $1.21. WTH

Looks like you save a penny by financing.
No interest charges for financing?

Theyve got that on about every website you go on now no matter what it is
Al only has one rule. He needs to add a second one that says if you finance tackle you should be immediately banned, It’s simply not the BBC way. Also I think that would be grounds for divorce if your wife found out you were sneaking around and financing tackle behind her back.
lots of online shops now have a 3rd party payment options (Klarna, Affirm, etc) That are interest free.Originally Posted by Okie Poke
Used it quite a few times on bigger purchases (over $150) like rod building supplies, lawn supplies etc, to pay it off over three months. We could pay it off upfront, but we aren’t BBC rich and it’s nice to not take that much out at once and especially with it being interest free it’s the same amount leaving the account.

It's brillant marketing and perhaps a marriage/argument saver...... When the other half asks, and what did you just pay for this stupid jig? You can reply, $1.21 Honey.I was shopping an on-line tackle supplier (no it’s not TW) and noticed they offer financing.

These days you can finance a cheeseburger so why not a crankbait?

How does that work? Did you have to do a credit check?
Be a bummer to break off the jig the first time you use it and still have to make payments.
Must be shopping TEMU or AliExpress
America went from the BBC way to get into much Debt as you can... No telling what the avg is for most americans today
“Here's a more detailed look:
- 2020: $5,313 CNBC reported.
- 2021: $6,209 (first quarter).
- 2022: $7,951.
- 2023: $8,599.
- 2024: The average balance per consumer was $6,380 (TransUnion).
- Q1 2025: $7,321 (LendingTree).”
LOTS of Americans slaves to their debt.
What is the difference between that and putting it on a card that you only pay the monthly minimum on?
I guarantee there is a s-ton of tackle bought on credit cards that aren't paid off every month.
No difference but there may be some that dont have a credit card so the quick loan works....
YOU are not entitled to what I have earned!!!!!

Not us. The last vehicle I financed was 12/28/1996. Paid off our house around 12 years ago. We either pay cash for everything or put it on a credit card and pay the bill in full every month and earn miles for the dollars spent. We've used those miles to pay for trips to Napa and Charleston/Savannah.

Me and my wife have used those services, but not for 1 $5 jig obviously. Interest free and no credit check so why not. If you’re ok with getting hated on BBC for it
But the premise of the thread is to talk crap about financing tackle when there are tons of people even on this website who buy their crap on a card and pay it monthly.
I agree with the OP that financing tackle is dumb but don't forget putting it on a card and not paying it off every month is just as dumb.
