BatchBlue Staff Favorite: The Saltwater Edge Fishing Co.
It’s no secret that if one could earn a decent living fishing, I would happily throw my computer into the sea, grow a two-foot long beard and leave the civilized world behind. Alas, it is not to be, but I do try to fish as often as I can and a good tackle shop to fuel my passion can be hard to find.
Upon moving to Rhode Island four years ago, the first order of business was to find a local source of fishing tackle and more importantly a place I could trust to provide honest information (i.e. not just trying to turn a buck.) Enter the The Saltwater Edge Fishing Co., located in Newport, RI. From their huge selection to their extremely knowledgeable staff, they have a great customer experience down pat.
They also have an impressive online presence and carry everything in the store online as well. Product stock is well-managed, so you know whether an item you’re interested in is actually available or when it might be. Given the size of their inventory, this is no small feat and its something that sets them apart from every other online tackle shop out there. They also offer delivery in two days or less to anywhere in New England for in-stock items.
The Saltwater Edge Fishing Co. has customer experience nailed and for that I am happy to use their services almost exclusively. Customer retention is getting harder and harder to come by these days and treating your customers well and providing a pleasant, predictable experience is key. These guys have me hooked.
