Welcome to Angler's Marketplace
A new community marketplace platform made for buying and selling custom handmade lures and flies
What is Angler's Marketplace?
Angler’s Marketplace is a platform made for the fishing community. It is a place where talented makers can easily reach customers with minimal time or financial investment. As a commercial fly tyer myself, I was faced with a similar problem that a lot of other makers encounter. Marketing your unique handmade products can often prove more difficult than making them in the first place. Whether you make flies, striper plugs, custom bass lures, bucktails, swimbaits, or other niche products, it can be difficult and expensive to get in front of a reliable customer base.
Creating a website and driving traffic to it can take months of both time and financial investment. On the other hand you can try to sell on large marketplaces like eBay and Etsy, which have a large amount of general traffic but also include high fees and are not frequently trafficked by other passionate anglers. Angler’s Marketplace was created to bridge this gap between makers and buyers by creating a highly accessible sales channel for the fishing community that allows makers to easily market their products. We offer many distinct advantages for both sellers and customers when compared to alternative sales channels:
