Access to America's Best Fishing Tackle
Lang's reputation as the world's leading tackle auction attracts much of the country's finest tackle.

Large Offerings Of Fishing Tackle
An average cataloged Lang's fishing tackle auction has 1500+ lots.

Fishing Tackle In All Price Ranges
Since the inception of tackle auctions in 1985, Lang's has been committed to auctions with something for everyone. Lang's sales have $50 items as well as record price setting tackle.

Few Reserves (Minimum Bids)
99% of the lots offered at Lang's auctions do not have reserves, therefore, you are not bidding against the owner and there is always a chance to get a bargain.

Catalog With Photos, Guaranteed Descriptions & Condition Ratings
Unlike some auctions with incomplete & inaccurate item descriptions and conditions, Lang's employs seven of the top appraisers in every category of tackle who write knowledgeable, complete and accurate descriptions after close inspection of every item. These experts, top collectors in their respective fields, provide realistic pre-sale estimates. Multiple catalog photos are provided for more than 99% of all Lang's auction lots.

Fresh To Market Items
As the World's Leading Tackle Auction, a large percentage of items are consigned from long time collections. Rare and one-of-a-kind items surface after many years in collections at every Lang's auction.

Unbiased Independent Auctioneer
Lang's contract, for a fixed fee (no commission) per auction, an independent auctioneer whose only job is to conduct a professional, fast moving, honest sale.

Unlimited Absentee Bidding
A mail, phone & fax bidding sheet and instructions are in each printed catalog and are also included on this site for online filing. About half the items in each Lang's auction go to absentee bidders. Lang's uses 11 phones for bidding on important items during each auction.

Confidential Handling Of Absentee Bids
Lang's receives, records, stores and executes in the bidder's behalf, absentee bids in an unbiased confidential manner. Many bidders are surprised to get items for less than their maximum bid.

Online Bidding with Live Auctioneers
Every lot included in the cataloged auction is sold live and simultaneously on Live Auctioneers as well. Absentee bidding starts online ten days prior to the live auction and is available to hundreds of thousands of bidders. An average Lang's auction receives over 250,000 hits from online bidders each auction. There is no larger buying audience available to you than Lang's/Live Auctioneers.

Privacy As A Bidder
Unlike some other on-line auctions, your identity will not be made available as a buyer to any of the millions of people accessing the net.

No Last Split-Second Bids
Unlike other on-line auctions where being the successful bidder depends on using the best snipe software to get you the last split-second bid, or just being lucky enough to get the last bid in, at Lang's live auctions the bidding stops when there are no more bids.

Record Of Authenticity
Lang's auction catalog gives you a permanent record of authenticity and value of your purchase.
