Found a good tackle shop in Bali

Gday all - I was in Bali recently and was surprised to find a large fishing tackle shop, Ive been to Bali heaps of times and never seen one till now. Its on the corner of Jl. Raya Kuta and Jl Blambangan  (Jl means "straight of" if you didnt know alraedy) its inland about 2 -3$ by taxi from Kuta They sell all sorts of stuff in there, theres literally hundreds of lures, deep jigs cheap etc all different brands lots of brands ive never heard of also cheap cheap.. Best of all they sell all the Rapala brands and they are the real deal not immitations I just stocked up on them for a Coral bay trip in early October (wind permitting).  All the usual terminal tackle, rods reel etc If your trying to recover from a big Bintang session from the night before its worth going in there for a look. Prices were around 2/3rds or less the usual perth prices. The pelagic season is coming so if your over there stock up   Cheers Dave

 I wouldnt buy anything other than terminal tackle there - of which there is heaps and cheap -  bummer about your old mans reel - that is "so Bali' sounds like he bought it from the same guys that sell those cheap and nasty DVD's that just stop during the movie  there what a F#@%&n waste of money they are hey
