for 1 i dont realy like those big chain stores . there are 3 stores that i will go to that have good info and are very helpfull , both the sponsors and a small shop in Kelmscott. there are a couple of others that i will go to for bait and maybe the basic stuff
Ryan and Honsu are exceptional in giving sound advice whether or not they make a sale - and when you place an order you can bet you will hear from them no matter how small the part or component - servicve is the name
AA is just closer to where I live and hence the fall back option but Oceanside by preference
Tackle shack of course wot can i say. Hi Matt, lol. oh & i enjoy shoppin at blue water in exmouth cos that means im there instead of here at the computer. cant wait for may. Rob
and some people in BCF (Joondalup) have really made me NEVER WANTING TO GO BACK! i have previously been there a couple of times and i do not get a "do you need any help" is it just cause im a kid... and when i do ask for help they no NOTHING! just IMO but otherwise anywhere were they sell things
My faourite 'Used' to be GotOne Woodvale but they closed down :(
so now i just go to Bluuwater Scarbs Or Rangers (joondalup)
campbells,tackleshack, ranger camping osborne park(usualy talk to sam ,original owner owner of tackle shack),been to oceanside once,got to say ryan is very helpful, gotya tackle balcatta, go to bcf occasionaly.but find their gear very expensive and staff useless on advise
Friendly! and if they dont know the answer to a question they go to the effort of finding out 4 u! Gotcha tackle in balcatta has been cheaper some times but I HATE shopping there cuz they r so rude!
Compleat Angler , Dixon Rd , Rockinghams my vote for the friendliest team in Australia, if they have not got what i want i wander down to BCF Rockingham.
as far as local tackle stores go, mark, phil and the team are fishermen, do great deals and have created a word of mouth businees that is strongly supported.
oceanside 4 me. the advice & knowledge they pass on is awsome. it is run by guys that fish many time's a week, who use the gear they sell, so you will get a run down on all the gear. & they look after you on the $$.......
Complete angler Albany hwy Gossies, sik of gettin bullsh*t advice, the " I started the lure craze 20yrs ago", and in particular likes to namedrop and bag people out. I cant pik what days the individual works so I just don't go there anymore.
Anglers Anon. in Canningvale gets my vote! And I like to get a few bits from the store
i have been to complete in (i presume you meant Kelmscott) that store many times and cant fault them as far as service and knowledge of the gear they sell. Good friendly peop;e
There's one in Balcatta, Bluewater I think it is, high side of the road, they have always been friendly.
I was shopping at a tackle store in Morley but they were all in favour of the huge fishing tax so they have their opinion and I have my money.
BCF Midland - my son has applied for jobs on the holidays several times and can never get a look in but when he goes in to shop for gear they know nothing, and here's my 15 yr old spoon feeding this lot to find out if they have what he's after. They just don't know the product....
The Gun mart/ Tackle store in Midland Gt Eastern Hwy has a good range and they are fairly helpful.
Then, there is Deans tackle store in Kalbarri who is always helpful and willing to repair my gear if it breaks.
S Bend Caravan Park - not a tackle store but very helpful and went out of his way when we were up there last year. Thanks mate; you salvaged a trip that was turning pear shaped and made it work for me and my boys.
Opps and of course Tackle Shack Malaga, Have been in there and they know the products that they sell, don't try to sell me things I don't need, in fact asked me what I was fishing for and recommended that I buy something cheaper than the jigs he had held for me. Can't ask for more than that, thanks ;)
I'm with Shorty and Pjay. Just can't fault the guys there, extremely friendly and can't do enough for you. Stock a fantastic range of gear and willing to give advice when asked. The A Team.
i will have to say bcf in rockingham becouse i work there and im the one that helps people never leting a fisho withput any advice or help if needed but if i had to go somewer els it would be complet angler and camping rocko. oh and im sorry to say this ranger in port kennedy you all dont know a fu....Kin thing about fishing one bloke in ther didnt know what a jig head was for soft plastics so i kindly explaind to him what they wer are what they use for i didnt know wer they were and then i asked so do u do any fishing he said no way i hate fishing its boring you bloody twit whats the point workin here oh and i swair there slow i asked a lady in there have you got any blocks of mullies um sorry i dont know what that is i dont think we sell them kind of hooks wtf hooks its bait you stupid woman sorry dont mean to be rude just hate going to a tacke shop were know one knowes shit about anything
and will never go back again . the worst service i have ever had from any tackle store in WA. chicks behind the counter just standing there talking about who rooted who on the weekend and crap like that while you have ten people waiting for service and they just turn there back and ignore you . then another time i went in i was the only person in the store and instead of coming upo to me to see if i needed help they called a security check to every isle i walked down so i put my stuff back on the shelves and walked out .talk about great customer service LOL
I'd call a security check on you as well, shady looking character that you are!
I only use BCF when it is convienient, the pricing is on par and I dont need any advice on what I am buying. IMO, you dont go there expecting any level of reasonable service.
BCF always call out security check for some reason,,at least when i go there,just don't take any notice of BCF catalogue sales, i wanted a hobie fishing shirt (AFC) last month,,they said they never had any nor would they be getting any in,,i went to Mandurah BCF to get one ,,,
Complete Angler rocko have regualar V.I.P nights,, B.B.Q s some with fishing reps giving talks etc.
The only thing i hate is drawing the raffles,,every one around me wins a prize and i miss out by one or two numbers,,,lol
Oceanside sounds good but too many Northeners visit the shop, you would be worried about your personal safety,,there mad up there
i think those security checks are just a constant recording and just a bit of a scare tactic. If im board and just wana look at some fishing gear then ill go to bcf cos i know i can stuff around in there as long as i want and be left alone, no pressure to buy anything.
well the people that dont like bcf i dont blame you i work there and im kinda the oly one that knowes stuff about fishing apart from alan and justin the girls are tipical rocko girls lol they alwase talk shit to them selfs it like are u going to work or what but doesnt mind me i like working there and yes the security checks are recorded lol but peopel watch teh cams
Well Justin certainly knows his stuff at BCF, seeing he is the Editor of a popular fishing mag in W.A you would expect so ,very helpful and friendly i have experienced.
Ranger at Rocko (Pt Kennedy) is all set up wrong the counters in the wrong spot,it should be near the door,,agreed they don't know nothing about nothing,if you remember that you will be fine,then you will not be suprised with blank looks when you ask a question,,lol
Its a real tough questions as i get around,bit like asking whats your favourite drinking hole .
tackle shack, oceanside ,bluewater and campbells are great
But my locals are
bcf cannington they rang me to tell me they have put aside an epirb at the right price for me when no one had them in stock in wa ,its not what you know ,its who you know and rangers in cannington they helped me out on Sunday chrismas weekend , with a steering set up for my boat which i broke Saturday evening skiing.
Its the people behind the store that make the store.
Compleat angler in Gosnells is the best in perth for the cheapest sinkers! i swear you wont find cheaper.
I only shop there and at oceanside. Oceansides helped me out a fair bit and i love the colours of the store :) even have their business card in my wallet lol.
A little story about Compleat at Rockingham, 2 months ago i got a message on my mobile phone that was from my sister,turn your bloody phone on i have a punture on my bike,,,
I rang back and she was at home, she walked into Complete Angler and asked them for a lift home for her and her bike,they never knew her from a bar of soap ,yet loaded it up and drove her across to the other side of town straight away,,
Apparently there was a brawl in the shop over who got to take her home
Just last week she got another flat near the Bent St boat ramp in Rocko,,she approached a boatie who was about to reverse down to get his boat, he said he would help her but could be a while as his reversings not to good,,she watched him jack knifeing all over the ramp for 20 mins,,he was telling the truth,,lol
Met Nick Hocking in there. I was shopping around gettn some stuff with my sis when he came over and said hello as he knows my sister. Nice guy gave me some tips on colour choices for lures when chasing tailor. Colours that he thought were working for him at the time. pretty sure he was working there not sure if he still is though.
Personally i shop at blue water mindarie, I go and see a bloke down there called Joff i think he said he used to work in the scarborough shop anyways hes full of helpful advice and a nice guy so i get him to sort me out. He recently printed out and gave me a copy of his special knot that he uses to to tie braid to a leader called the Hal Harvey joiner which was very cool of him.
For terminal tackle i shop at Big W or Kmart i find the prices in there very reasonable.
Imo any shop with great staff with good avice that know HOW to fish is a good shop.

There's one in Balcatta, Bluewater I think it is, high side of the road, they have always been friendly.
I was shopping at a tackle store in Morley but they were all in favour of the huge fishing tax so they have their opinion and I have my money.
BCF Midland - my son has applied for jobs on the holidays several times and can never get a look in but when he goes in to shop for gear they know nothing, and here's my 15 yr old spoon feeding this lot to find out if they have what he's after. They just don't know the product....
The Gun mart/ Tackle store in Midland Gt Eastern Hwy has a good range and they are fairly helpful.
Then, there is Deans tackle store in Kalbarri who is always helpful and willing to repair my gear if it breaks.
S Bend Caravan Park - not a tackle store but very helpful and went out of his way when we were up there last year. Thanks mate; you salvaged a trip that was turning pear shaped and made it work for me and my boys.
Opps and of course Tackle Shack Malaga, Have been in there and they know the products that they sell, don't try to sell me things I don't need, in fact asked me what I was fishing for and recommended that I buy something cheaper than the jigs he had held for me.

BCF = no stock, no service
Everytime I go to BCF in Cannington the shelves are bare in the terminal tackle section..
Not sure if they just don't carry enough stock (doubt they are that busy and can't keep up with stock levels) or they just really limit their range.
Pricing is pretty ordinary most times as well.
Much better options around town IMO.
Got to agree Tackle Shack and Oceanside are great stores, but locally I like Jet Cycles Tackle & Dive in Gosnells.
Smallish store, reasonable range but not bad on pricing.
Will, the owner is always very helpful every time I've been in, whether it be for bait or tackle.

Not tackle related but!!
Went looking for axle U-bolts and plates to put new springs on trailer so went to Repco... No Luck!!!!
Went to Supercheap... Not enough in stock!!!
Tried Autopro and AutoOne... No Luck!!
Went past BCF Joondalup and thought I'd turn around have a look. Plenty in stock and half the price than the auto shops and trailer shops.
Used to use Gotone in Woodvale. Haven't tried the new store since it opened so might go have a look before we head off to Busselton end of next week.
Tackle Shack in Malaga is preferred place to go if I'm not sure what I need or want.... Otherwise I shop around for the best price when I do know.

BCF Balcatta,
Met Nick Hocking in there. I was shopping around gettn some stuff with my sis when he came over and said hello as he knows my sister. Nice guy gave me some tips on colour choices for lures when chasing tailor. Colours that he thought were working for him at the time. pretty sure he was working there not sure if he still is though.
Personally i shop at blue water mindarie, I go and see a bloke down there called Joff i think he said he used to work in the scarborough shop anyways hes full of helpful advice and a nice guy so i get him to sort me out. He recently printed out and gave me a copy of his special knot that he uses to to tie braid to a leader called the Hal Harvey joiner which was very cool of him.
For terminal tackle i shop at Big W or Kmart i find the prices in there very reasonable.
Imo any shop with great staff with good avice that know HOW to fish is a good shop.
Early to Bed, Early to Rise...Fish all day, Tell BIG Lies!!!
