HORRIBLE experience since I've had this subscription last year. This year I couldn't redeem the QR code or the fully written code. I couldn't get ANY help by text, SMS, or by phone. Forget about cu... See more

EASY AND FAST

I bought one of the googan gold rods from one of my local dealers and used it for a while until it broke. Sadly I could not return the rod so I contacted Karl's to see if I could claim the warranty on the rod. Within 30 minutes of every email I sent I got a reply and they were quick to get me a new rod shipped as soon as possible. Within less than 24 hours they promised me a new rod through a process that was quick and easy. Overall my experience with Karl's was amazing and I will now make sure that whenever I'm buying fishing tackle I'm buying through Karl's. Thank you Karls for your help

Carls is awesome and the best

Joined the Carls club and have saved so much but not only have i saved money I am able to find my favorite baits as well as fishing rods on carls when I can’t find them in stores. Shipping is always fast and my stuff comes in in perfect condition.

Karl's has what I need

Karl's has what I need, at a significant cost savings, from being a Member. I was hesitant to join at first and was paying full price, then I tried the free month & I was hooked.

I’ve had great experience with shop…

I’ve had great experience with shop Karl’s. They had great warranty work on my rod and amazing selection of baits. I really wish they would make a app for my iPhone. If they did that I’d definitely join the club membership because of how much easier it would be to not have to constantly login every time I shop.

The only way to shop Karl’s…

If you are going to buy anything from Karl’s you might as well get the membership too! It pays for itself. Between member only items, prices, free shipping, discount days, unique deals and 30% off almost everything everyday… I mean why wouldn’t you!?
