About Angler's Marketplace
Hello Anglers!
We are thrilled to welcome you to Angler's Marketplace, a new platform created by anglers, for anglers. Whether you're a seasoned fly tyer, a custom lure maker, or simply a fishing enthusiast looking for high-quality, unique products, you've come to the right place.
Our Story
The idea for Angler's Marketplace was born out of a personal need. As an avid fly tyer myself, I struggled to find the right place to sell my handmade flies. Existing options were limited: either create a personal website and grapple with generating traffic or join a general marketplace that didn't cater to our niche. Realizing this gap, I decided to build Angler's Marketplace—a dedicated community where anglers can buy and sell custom flies and lures with ease.
Why Angler's Marketplace?
At Angler's Marketplace, we believe in simplicity, transparency, and community. Here’s what sets us apart:
Designed for Anglers: Our platform is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the fishing community. We understand the passion and precision that goes into crafting custom flies and lures, and we’ve built a space that reflects that.
No Upfront Costs: You can list your products and enjoy the benefits of Angler's Marketplace for free. We only charge a small 6% commission when you make a sale. This means you can start selling without any initial investment and sellers only spend money when they make money.
Reach a Targeted Audience: Our marketplace connects you with customers who are specifically looking for high-quality, custom fishing gear. No more competing for attention in a generic marketplace or trying to generate traffic to your website.
Community Focused: Angler's Marketplace is more than just a place to buy and sell. It’s a community where you can connect with like-minded anglers, share tips, and celebrate the art of custom lure making.
What's Next
This is just the beginning. We have exciting plans for the future, including community events, featured vendor spotlights, and much more. Stay tuned to our blog for updates, tips, and stories from the world of custom fly tying and lure making.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. We’re excited to see our community grow and can’t wait to help you succeed both on and off the water.
About me
I grew up fishing the rivers and lakes of Western Massachusetts from the time I was four years old. I started fly fishing at 16 and eventually began to work at the Deerfield Fly Shop. After high school I went to college at URI and became an avid surfcaster and saltwater fly fisherman. During this time I started working at the Saltwater Edge, where I learned the ropes of eCommerce and the fishing industry as a whole.
