Affiliate Disclosure

Tackle the Bay is reader-supported. To help cover the cost of running the site, some links here are affiliate links — if you click one and buy something, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

A few promises about how that works:

  • Recommendations come first. I only point to gear, baits, and tackle I'd actually tie on myself. A commission never buys a spot in a guide.
  • No extra cost to you. Affiliate pricing is identical to buying direct — the retailer shares a small cut of the sale, not your wallet.
  • Honest reviews. If something underperforms, I'll say so. The point of this site is to help you catch fish, not to move product.

Where a specific program requires its own wording, that disclosure will appear alongside the relevant links. Any commissions help pay for hosting, gear testing, and the time that goes into these guides and reports — so thank you if you choose to use them.
