About Us

Tackleware Australia is an Australian business based in Hervey Bay, Queensland.

Our core product, the Truth Mat is designed to provide anglers with a high quality mat for measuring & photographing their catch.

The first Truth mats were produced in early 2007 and by mid 2007 the second run of mats was on the drawing board. The Big Barra mat was released early 2008 and quickly sold out.

Tackleware is committed to providing anglers with a superior measuring mat that will display their memorable catch at its best, whilst promoting sustainable recreational fishing.

Tackleware support & promote sustainable fishing practices such as catch and release and we believe all anglers and related businesses have a role to play when it comes to the conservation of fish stocks for future generations.

We invite organizations involved in fish stocking programs and other conservation efforts, to apply for a promotional spot on the Truth Mat FREE OF CHARGE. Contact us

The Truth mat can also be produced exclusively for tournaments and fishing groups etc.
