Delivery & Shipping

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free domestic shipping on most orders over $150 subtotal. This excludes oversized and bulky items such as rods, blanks, gaffs, some tackle boxes, lobster nets, landing nets and other large items. Any 1 piece rod over 7'10" in length often incurs the biggest oversize fees charged by domestic shipping companies although we do have lower rates via other carriers on the West Coast. Any additional shipping fees will be automatically calculated at checkout before any billing is done.

What countries do you ship to?

We currently ship products within the US and to almost every country in the world, covering all available destination via UPS and DHL. International shipping times depend on the products and destination. Shipping rates are automatically calculated at checkout, for most countries we also collect Duties and Taxes and prepay them so you do not have to deal with the carrier or customs.

How long will it take to get my order?

Standard shipping can take 3-8 business days depending on location and order volume. If you have requested spooling on your reel or rigging on your lures then it could take an additional day or two. Next day & 2 day shipping is available on most domestic orders (for an additional charge). Orders placed after 12pm Pacific Standard Time will be processed the next business day.

What carriers do you ship with?

We work with UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, GLS and DHL. When your order qualifies for free shipping or has a rod that qualifies for discounted shipping we reserve the right to choose which carrier it is sent with, otherwise you can pick the service you want. UPS Ground ranges from 1 to 7 day delivery, USPS Priority Mail is typically 1-3 days but is not a guaranteed express service, and USPS Ground Advantage takes roughly 3-7 business days. Longer rods are generally sent via GLS unless otherwise specified, this service ranges from 1 - 10 days.

Prop 65 Warning ⚠

The GT Ice Cream Needle Nose range are injection moulded and come in a variety of fish catching colors. It is designed for super long casts in most conditions and can handle a small chop very well. A slower retrieve with a high rod tip produces a strong side-to-side nose action. The Needle Nose is the best all round lure for inshore and offshore, for all surface feeding predators.

I will reference this lure’s predecessor (in my estimation anyway), Roberts Rangers. We’ve long used Roberts lures for surf fishing, our Baja bound anglers targeting Rooster fish from the beach have had success over the years. Some of our long range fishermen who travel south by way of the big boats out of San Diego also discovered the Rangers, and had good success on yellowtail. There were a couple of downsides, first and foremost were the supplied hooks and secondly the lures performance in windy conditions. The GT Ice Cream lures had to be built more ruggedly since they were targeting Grand Trevally rather than striped bass (which was the design target for Rangers). You can see this distinction immediately when you look at one of the GI IC lures, their hooks are far stronger and they made very smart use of an assist hook rather than a fixed hook connected by a split ring.  The rigging is  superior and made for more serious fish than a 20 lb striped bass.

GT Ice Cream lures originated in South Africa, made specifically for fishing larger grade grand trevally. The story of the name comes from one of the guys originally prototyping the lures who said the “the GT’s hit the plug so hard and so much, that it was like ice cream to them? With great success in the Indian Ocean, the plugs have since traveled all over the world.

There are two basic styles, the Cone and Needle Nose. Both are designed for very long casts. There are differences for when and how to fish the two lure styles:

ConeSlow steady retrieve on the surface. General purpose plug for surf casting. Ideal in choppy conditions. The lure features a dynamic weight system which ensures the plug swims on it’s belly. The aerodynamic back section increases casting distance. Works well off the beach or boat.

Needle Nose: Designed for long casts with fast retrieve on the surface. This lure can also be used with a slower retrieve with the rod tip held up high, producing a strong side to side nose action. The dynamic weight system keeps the plug oriented on it’s belly. Ideal in calmer conditions, works well from beach or boat.
