Hook Up Tackle 91.99 Valkyries-is this real?

Post by russ57 » Thu Aug 17, 2023 9:24 pm

I don't know if this is a glitch but I am seeing valkyries on the hook up tackle for 92 bucks...is this a typo or what? I'm inclined to order one before they fix it.

How can you tell its out of Florida?

I definitely agree it's fake because there are so many other high end rods "on sale" under $100 as well. I didn't notice the others at first

There are several fake Hookup Tackle sites that spring up from time to time. They’re all mining the real store but are trying to steal your payment information with ridiculous offers.

Be careful and don’t even visit if you can. Somebody asked me about one of these pages a few months ago, so I visited, told him it’s fake, and moved on. Or so I thought. Because now that URL is in my browser history. Every time I start typing a webpage address starting with “h” is auto-completes to that fake shop, which has since been taken down and replaced with a porn page. So my address bar literally says “hookuptacke.com - Sex Dating”. Fun! I hope my wife doesn’t see this because I’ll have some explaining to do :doh:

Drakestar,

Don’t miss the silver lining, it’ll be the first time she’s relieved you’re just buying tackle!
