Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Swung by since I was in the area and I was immediately greeted and helped. Getting into some bass and trout fishing and the nice people here at Bob's set me up with the baits and even showed me how to setup and use them. Great store! Wide selection and fairly priced too. Highly recommend Bob's for your fishing needs. read more

The best bass fishing store around. Jason is a great bass fisherman and will set you up for success.

This will be my go to spot for any of my fishing needs. Didn't get the name of the guy at the counter but he basically set me up to start fishing and helped me with weights and lure. Very very knowledgeable people who work there. I'll rather go here then a Walmart. They help and pricing is very good. Will definitely come back. read more

The best fishing tackle shop in the area hands down. I live in the heart of LA and traveled to 4 stores from Pasadena LB OC and Norwalk looking for the perfect hooks to catch large Blue Fin Tuna. Only one store had the hooks, Bobs!! And if you live in SoCal you know that route takes a few hours! Bob's is Informative, friendly, and most importantly HONEST. Bobs has the tackle you'll need to bring the fish home! I was recommended to visit Bobs by the local Turners! If that doesn't tell ya that Bobs is the best...cmon! Parking is plentiful and the location is easy to find. Don't look any further, Bob's is your fishing shop! read more

Decided to start on fishing again. Bought myself a new fishing rod but missing a good line. Checked out yelp to look for a tackle shop near by and came acrorss this place. The person who helped me was very friendly and knowledgable. He was able to assist me with the best possible braided line for my new pole. Cost per 100 yard is very reasonable! He hooked me up with 500 yrds of line and even helped remove the previous line and put on the new one. I will definitely come back here for any of my fishing needs. I didn't get the associates name but if you see this comment, thank you! read more

This is the best fishing tackle shop around. Jason is outstanding and so knowledgeable. We've been getting our fishing tackle here for years. This past fishing season at Big Bear Lake, I caught a 7lb. Rainbow Trout with a bait casting rod and reel we bought at Bob's Fishing Tackle. Jason maintains our reels for us. Don't know what we'd do without him. We went by the shop and was shocked to see that the building next door had burned and Jason's place had received collateral damage. Went to see Jason today, and he's moving to the shop on the right side of his original shop. He's doing great getting everything organized and ready to go. We dropped off a couple of our bait casting reels to get new leadcore on them and buying a new rod and reel. We're so happy that he's still in business! read more

Highly, highly recommended!!! Staff was patient and knowledgeable. They explained and suggested items that i should get for a gift for my husband. Unfortunately i didn't catch the gentleman's name but THANK YOU for not making me feel dumb for my lack of fishing equipment knowledge and for helping me put together a great gift. My husband fishes out of various landings...from Ventura to San Diego. I will make sure he gets the word out Bob's Fishing is the place to go and to avoid others esp those that lack customer service. read more

Very good customer service! They have lots of fishing knowledge to help choose the best fishing tackle and the patience to explain the presentations. read more

Stopped by to get a combo line and reel for beginners and the person helping us out told us that they were sold out of something suitable for us instead of trying to push us to buy something we didn't need. Ended up going somewhere else and finding what we needed but I'll be back because I really appreciated the honesty. I forgot the name of the person who helped us but he was an awesome dude and even though we weren't going to buy anything here he spoke to us very kindly and gave us several tips. Bless you brother! Tip: If you're parked on a street you're on the wrong side. Store entrance is located in a plaza. read more

Staff is very knowledgeable, honest, and friendly. Provided me a lot of great information as a first timer. I felt like talking to him regards my fishing gears are in good hands. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Jason is the man! I brought in a cheap Shimano spinner rod because one of the ceramic eyelets fell out of the top guide. He was able to fix it on the spot and only charged me for the replacement guide. It only cost me $2.50!!! My go-to tackle shop. read more

Reason for tye one star is because business info on yelp states the store is open. Even recieved two reviews. Yet i swung by today and doors are shut. Nobody ever picks up the phone either. read more

Best tackle shop around , Jason is so cool and informative, not pushy or the type to upsell. He genuinely wants you to succeed and his shop provides a plethora of baits , tackle etc to do just that . Support this local gem read more

I visited Bob's today for the first time in about 10 years! Cool dudes with lots of knowledge and very approachable. Not like Sav-On tackle Thanks for your help today guys, tight lines! read more

He's open again and he has all the fishing stuff you need , they are very nice and helpful. Jason knows what works best for where you are going fishing and he also knows about a lot of places to fish read more

I've been coming here pretty consistently over the past year and a half as my skill sets for fishing different waters grows. I'm extremely happy with the stores service and product selection. But more so, the people at the store could not be any more awesome. Aside from suggestions for equipment and gear, you get valuable information on the very stuff your looking for in order to put fish in your cooler. They freely share their vast personal experience and expertise so you use your stuff effectively to produce results. If you can relay which fish you're after or what body of water they're in, these guys'll help you learn, not just talk at you. You got questions, they got answers, you need a reel/rod maintained or fixed, they got you covered. I'm proud to say, as a newly returned fisherman, I learned from all the fellas each time I've been in the store and have a fridge full of fish to show for it. Come check'm out for yourself. read more

Went to this tackle shop to purchase a good amount of lures and hooks for my fishing trip to find out later that they charged me an additional "open item" on the receipt. I triple counted everything on the receipt and it seems like the owner simply decided to charge an extra $6 on top of everything I purchased for nothing... REVIEW EVERYTHING ON YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE YOU LEAVE!!!!!!!!! read more

Looking forward to coming back again. This will be our only son and pop shop for fishing supplies! Excellent Service, Knowledgeable, Professional and very family like. Highly recommend for fishing gear and prices are very reasonable. read more

Bob's Fishing Tackle - Thank you for the trout gear and the tips! My son was very happy to catch his first trout! Good Job Vincent! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Norwalk, California

Talk about great customer service!!! Stayed an hour past closing to wait for me since I was driving from Long Beach! Thank you once again !

I've been coming to bobs tackle for many years now. Jason is very knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to selecting the right gear you needs. If you tell him where you plan on going fishing, or what species you are fishing for, he will get you set up with the right gear you'll need to catch some fish. Something you won't get at Walmart or any other big name sporting goods store. Definitely recommend going here before your next fishing trip read more

Best tackle shop in the area ! They always have everything you need and the Guys working don't mind answering any questions you might have on fishing ! Prices are great ! I won't shop anywhere else ! read more

Cool guys, fast, and very good recommendations! They had five reels done in 30 minutes.

this place is the worst spot in town if I could put zero stars if I had the option the manager was so rude to me and my mom when my mom just had simple questions. stay away if you can!!!! read more

Good prices and great selection of products that other stores don't carry. Helpful and open to sharing knowledge about the art and sport of fishing. Not like other stores where everything is a secret and they will steer you in the wrong direction. This place is definitely a diamond in the ruff! I'm so happy they are there for all my gear and tackle. read more

Really do love coming here for solely one reason. The convenience w the price they offer is very fair but the main reason it's a must is because the worker Drew. Jason is always there and very helpful with recommendations as well as advice. Jason also saved me some money by repairing my guide on my rod for only 5 bucks which was great. With Drew I'll ask him one question about something and I will get the answer plus 10 more which all have to do with my question. Really like how he gives me why, how, when, and where to use certain lures/rigs. Gives out such useful information so you're not out on the water confused. This man has one of the best fishing insights to offer and will explain everything to you and break it completely down. He was extremely patient, funny, and very respectful. I came in for a broken drag spring and was working on it for about 5 minutes and boom just like that it all clicked perfectly. I had another person at a bait shop trying to get me a new part and charge me but drew just went ahead and fixed it right up no problem. He bent the spring back and made it work when no one else said they could. He's seriously the freaking man and a definite go to for any questions!! Bobs tackle shop is lucky to have a guy like Drew!!!! He is the god damn homie read more

This place is awesome!, the personnel is knowledgable and helpful thank you Danny and Jason for your help finally somewhere to go for gear and very helpful tips for fishing !! read more

Super helpful, friendly, orginized and plenty of color choices to choose from. If definitely consider coming back. Thanks guys

Decided to dust off my rod and reel. Stopped by and was greeted by Drew. He respooled my equipment and assisted with my supply purchase. I really appreciated the time, tips, and above all his treatment of a novice fisherman walking into the store looking for assistance. Definitely a shout out to Drew. Will go back. read more

I dropped off a 50+ year old 15' vintage surf rod that had been used and abused over the years to get restored like new. I have to tell you that the finished product when I when to pick it up today (8/9/2017), was absolutely amazing. Bob's Fishing Tackle did a phenomenal job with this vintage rod and the price was very good compared to some quotes that I got from other tackle shops. I would definitely trust Bob's Fishing Tackle with my rod repairs as well as meeting my other fishing related needs. read more

The owner may not have a huge selection of new lures, but what he lacks in new products, he makes up for in knowledge. I can name a lake, or water clarity, he'll choose a lure, next thing you know, I'm catching fish with the lure he told me would work. Customer service is the greatest here, he's willing to talk to you about anything you need to know. You can also order items from him if he doesn't have it in store, read more

I stopped by this place because it was local and I'm just getting into fishing. I'm so glad I did. They were super friendly and had a wealth of knowledge. Jason was who helped me. You don't find many mom and pop places like this anymore. I'm going to keep continuing my business here because they are a diamond in the rough. Do your Self a favor and don't go to walmart or turners where no one has any clue about fishing. Come here, they will set you up right. read more

Jason is super cool dude very helpfull,but every time I go in this place they have a hard time keeping just the BASIC STAPLES OF GOOD BAITS IN THE RIGHT COLOR AND SIZE. It's either peanut butter got no jelly or I got smokin shad but it's only in a 2.8. So every time I go I end up buying something I don't use our didn't want, SUCKER lol read more

Bobs tackle may be small in sf..but the level of service and quality of products and services is top notch! Over the years I have gone to many tackle shops. What I found was alot of employees have a snooty attitude thinking they are better than everyone. Bobs tackle is the exact opposite! Jason is super down to earth. Humle. And knowledgeable. He is always making sure his customers are taken care of and shares his wide knowledge with a humble attitude..top notch! And his wrapping skills is one of the best and cleanest I have seen! read more

Great little tackle/Fishing store.Helpful and knowledgeable employees,very good selection of gear.The employees there are also Local fisherman and are A wealth of information concerning local fishing spots and tackle /bait to use to land the BIG ones. read more

These guys are friendly, I'll give em that. But man they were disorganized... at least when we went in. All I wanted were new carbontex drags and also metal drag washers for my Penn 113h, which you think would be pretty standard, but it took these guys forever just to pull the parts. What I thought would take 5 minutes turned into a half-hour ordeal. Worst part is, they sold me the wrong combination of metal washers that I can't use at all, even though I said I'll just take the carbontexes and scratch replacing the metal drags - they were insistent on finding the metal drags and selling them to me, even though they weren't the right thickness... As far as return policy, who knows. I don't know the next time it'll be when I'm in the area... and even so, I'm not sure I'd want to go back in. read more

First off this place is great.... starting from the costumer service down to the information and products. I recently went into the shop to have the reel on my fishing pole spool (only 10bucks).. i was helped by Sergio real awesome dude very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions and also suggested a few things for my trip. Im fairly new to the sport of fishing and didn't know what to expect when walking into the shop. I will be returning for all my fishing needs.. read more

Best place to buy a fishing pole. The owner was very helpful and informative! He went out of his way to make sure we need the pole we wanted for our trip to the high sierras. Thanks guys! read more

This is exactly why we still need the "mom & pop" shops!! I've been to the big box retailer trying to get help and all you get is over priced, low quality items that are being sold by someone who's never even been near water. The owner here lives, breaths and sleeps fishing. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge. Need a place to cast, he'll tell you the spot. Need the right lure, he'll hook you up. This guy down right knows his fish. In my 30 plus years of enjoying this sport, I can't find a shop or a person that has more to offer. This place will blow away the others when it comes to service. Whether your purchasing a $2 item, or getting hooked up for that big trip this shop will make sure you cast off right! Thanks BFT! read more

First time in this place very helpful knowledgeable & they didn't try to sell me what I didn't need I will always shop here

Stopped in to check this place out and it is AWESOME! I'm horrible as a fisherman and this is the only shop I've been to that had no problem sharing knowledge and helping me out to better my fishing skills! Thanks again Danny for the help! read more
