Hi everyone!
A little while ago I mentioned that there were a few subs I stumbled upon while searching for a gift for Andrew. One of these was the Mystery Tackle box. So in January I decided to give it a try and subscribe for a month. I was able to get my first box for only $4.99 (regular is $15) after using the code GET499. I am in no way a fishing buff, so I can't really comment on the products we received in this box, but I did notice that Andrew was really excited about this subscription - dare I say, even more so than the Loot Crate!
To check out the products in our first Mystery Tackle Box, please read further after the jump...

Alright, so I can't really comment on each product to tell you if it's good or not, but I will tell you this - the product card that came with this box really impressed me! In fact, out of all the subscriptions I have, this was basically the most helpful product card I have seen thus far. Several key features of the card:
- - picture of each product that you receive (colour may vary)
- - short description of each product
- - the cost and the quantity of a pack that you could purchase at a store
- - notes how many of each item you received in the box
- - includes the official website for each of the products
- - a link to where you can read review and learn more about the contents of your box (for example, this is the link for the February box)

Thoughts
This was a really interesting subscription. After using the promo code GET499, I was able to get this box for only $4.99, which is amazing considering that the contents of this month's box added up to $30.93 in value. Despite being completely clueless when it comes to fishing, I did really like the product card that came with this box. It includes a wealth of information about the contents of your box.
Having said that, this subscription is really meant for a specific kind of person - one who loves fishing. Luckily for me, fishing is one of Andrew's favourite activities in the summertime. There have been so many times when Andrew and I stop by a store that sells fishing equipment and Andrew will just get lost in examining the various hooks, fishing rods, and baits. I've noticed that one of the things that stops him from buying fishing tools is the price. Therefore, I think that the mystery tackle box is a perfect way of obtaining baits, lures, and tackle without breaking the bank.
To control all of my subs, I've suspended this subscription for the time being. But I'm sure that either I will activate it again or Andrew will pick up this subscription soon.
If you'd like to sign up for the Mystery Tackle Box, you can do so here.
