Richard's Fishing Tackle is the place to go if you want knowledgeable and friendly service. I came in looking for gear to take my son out fishing for the first time, and they went above and beyond to help. They took the time to walk me through choosing the right rod and tackle, showed me how to properly set up the line, and even shared different techniques to make sure we had the best chance at catching something. Thanks to their guidance, my son and I had a great first fishing trip and even caught a fish! I really appreciate the patience and expertise--they've earned a loyal customer. read more

Found stuff i need that I didn't find anywhere else. Also nicely organized and very friendly.

Good tackle. Cool people. I come here a lot for fishing gear.the weights a little expensive but hey, the people are nice. They are experts in their craft and knowledgeable. Service is on point when they help me fix my rods and reels. 10/10 wouldreccomend. read more

Excellent shop w a wide variety of baits from everything from freshwater to saltwater. Highly recommended

Helpful and friendly staff. They have inventory no other tackle shop has in stock such as line and hooks direct from Japan. If you are looking to land and bring fish over the rail, don't look any further. A big plus they are open Sunday! I met one of the staff who only works on Sunday. He was honest and informative. Though everyone is was great, my experience on Sunday was outstanding. read more

Had not visited Richard's in a very long time, and was helped today by John and Danny. I was leaning towards a Daiwa Saltist MQ spinning reel @ $330, but after voicing some concerns about the inability to DIY rebuild/recondition, as well as liking some other features and specs of the Penn Slammer, both gentlemen agreed, that for how I'm planning to use the reel, the Penn just MIGHT be my best option. A straight up honest to goodness answer. Mind you, Richard's does not carry the Penn reel in question, so while I still really liked the Daiwa, I still had a few considerations and reservations about brands. I GREATLY appreciated their honesty and full explanation on the Saltist MQ as well as very fairly comparing design and features of the Daiwa to the Shimano Ultregra and Penn reels. Comparing 3 in-class reels, there's always going to be positives and negatives, and in the end, I walked out confident I had made the right choice with a braided Saltist in hand. I've always had good experiences at Richard's, and now that I've resumed fish chasing, it's great to know my old tackle store will remain my go-to. Lastly, as I stated years ago in my first review, these guys listen and don't push to upsell needlessly. This is one of the reasons they have a following of regular customers. Thank you, gentlemen. read more

Damn good prices and great service! I could talk fishing with these guys for hours! Shout out to Jno for the recommendation!

Richard's is the one stop shop for all your fishing needs. I heard about them from a friend Richard's tackle shop is the one stop shop for any fishing needs. I first heard about this shop from a friend a few years ago and I'm glad that I did. The staff here are all friendly and knowledgeable about all type of fishing. They have pictures all over the walls as proof with their catches! They have everything from freshwater to salt water, small little split shots all the way to 1-pound sinkers, 2 flouro to 200 mono, they got it all. I came in looking for some weights for a charter I was going to hop on for rock fish and they recommended certain sizes and line as well. They also took the time to teach me how to rig different types of setups and offered advice on how I should fish certain rigs. I was able to hook up before anyone else that trip and easily got my limit! After that, I took all their advice to heart because they're not just like any typical tackle shop that would just try to up sale you or push you towards one product or another. They try their best with their knowledge to find the right setup for you whether you're looking to target certain types of fish or if you're on a budget. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who's starting to fish or even a experienced angler. There's always new methods of fishing. read more

They have an awesome assortment of weights , hooks, lures , for fresh and Sammy water n they even repair reels too !

Went in to pick up bate and fishing equipment. It's been a while since I last went fishing and the staff were happy to help me out with the tackle I would need. For bate we picked up some blood worms which is the only spot I know of that carries them in the area and half the price of tackle shops at the beach. Definitely recommend this tackle shop and wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

I went to Richard's Tackle to buy fishing line and lost my wallet in the store after I paid with out knowing it , I got in my car and went home on my way home I got a phone call from the owner that he had my wallet. I went back to the store to pick up my wallet and I offered some cash for the honesty but, they said no. I will recommend this store to anyone who wants to buy fishing goods. read more

They are supremely knowledgable and helpful -- they really take the time to share their expertise in a way that even a novice can understand. read more

Unfortunately I'm writing this for my father. He went into the store today (09/01/20) and my father immediately called me to tell me that he experienced racism. He had called prior to him entering the store which they were friendly, but once he physically entered the store he said the staff were not friendly towards him. He was trying to sell (I believe) a True Line fishing pole, and they threatened to call the police on him. In today's society with all the unease happening in this world, I highly suggest if you are a person of color to take your business elsewhere. After reading other reviews, I see this is normal for them unless you are of fairer skin. Will post on other social media as well! Edit - My father called to get the names and they hung up on him, saying "hang up on him, I don't want to talk to him" Also said they were going to pull a gun on him. Apparently John is a decent employee, but the shorter man with glasses is the one you all should be aware of! read more

This place can be hit or miss, but my experiences are more hit than miss. I haven't experienced any one this racist crap people keep bringing up. It is in an Asian area, but just like going to other places where people aren't the same as you, it could be intimidating. If you're going to step out of your comfort zone, be prepared for the chance you'll be uncomfortable! People are way too sensitive this day and age and are quick to point the racist finger cause that's the easiest way to burn a business. In my opinion, I get would say about 4 out of the 5 guys I talked to have a good attitude. I was surprised how much cheaper they were for some things than Amazon and they way better-stocked than Walmart which just looks picked through. There's always at least one guy in every group of employees that's a malcontent, but that's expected. I received some good advice on which piers to go to and different approaches to targeting different kinds of fish. I got a crab hoop and I was struggling to get the know right attaching my line to it. One of guys came out and did it for me and gave me a tutorial as well! read more

Used to like going to this place when Peter was around. Bought over $3000 worth of gear here. Unfortunately, He had passed away. Peter spooled many of my reels with brand new spectra. 3 of them failed, slipping. Before he passed, he fixed 2 of the reels. I came back one day, was only Richard and another rep there. I explained to him what was wrong with my reel. He kept asking me questions as though I did something wrong, "maybe you spooled it wrong yourself". I was already upset that my fishing trip was screwed up because of line failure. He fixed it but goes on telling and showing me why it was impossible for them to installed it wrong. I already had bad experiences with Richard in the past.. but I kept going back because of Peter. I ordered a brand new Phenix Titan long fall rod (retailing $360) from them. When it came in, while I was picking it up, Richard looks at me and questioned if I know what to do with it? Wow... talk about belittling your returning customers. So here now, after 5+ years, I'm updating my review from 5 stars to 2, they do stock up on items I'd use for in/off shore fishing, surf, etc. I'd still go here, only if I'm in a rush or other stores don't have what I'm looking for, just bought the latest Shimano Terez last week. I hope they'll be more understanding next time. read more

Love this shop! They always have what I need and they have the best customer service! You can come here for everything you need for salt to fresh water! Love these guys! read more

Called today at 5 pm to check hours. Said they would be open until 7 pm. Asked if they had stock of red wrigglers. Said they only had one pack and would hold the item for me. I arrived at 6:17 pm. Closed. Locked. Here are pictures to prove it. Thanks for not giving me accurate hours, telling me you'd hold an item for me, then closing before your said hours. read more

Awesome place for fishing great guys very friendly and super helpful, just came in for some fluorocarbon and hooks and the customer service was excellent. read more

Very helpful ask anything you have questions with or any inquiries on items they can order a lot of stuff they may not be currently displaying. Overall a solid tackle shop for all your saltwater freshwater and mostly anything in between read more

Love this place! Has everything you need for both saltwater and freshwater. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable!

Yeah this guy Richard thinks he's a know it all lol. He tells me his poles never touch the ground GOOD FOR YOU MR BIG SHOT LOL. As he's trying to force me into buying the most expensive reel there. I'm even his race and he's trying to screw me. This place is more like a social club for lonely fishermen to sit around and think there the fishing genius. read more

Ok I see a lot of people complaining that's this place is racist... that's far from the truth I am Mexican and the shop is owned by a Asian owner who has been nothing but kind to me and others that I have referred here. Let me be clear that if you are expecting people to be politically correct here you are in the wrong place. Bottom line if you want customer service of the Apple store move along... Side note if you buy a $20 reel and expect $2000 customer service you need to wake up.... read more

ALL FISH MUST HATE THIS PLACE...with a PASSION. This place was recommended by one of my die-hard-fish-all-the-time friends for their fish-swagger, jig-making, noob-bustin', friendly yet 1337 knowledge on anything related to finding and catching...FISH. SO...I know for sure...that... ALL FISH MUST HATE THIS PLACE...with a PASSION. Especially with all the bounties created to the exact measurements of fish previously caught...mounted on walls to describe that this place is LEGIT. YEAH, ALL FISH WITHOUT A DOUBT...MUST HATE THIS PLACE...SIGNIFICANTLY. Especially as I got my two new Daiwa Sealine Black-Bri 4500 spooled with 300 yards of 50 lb braid lines...I listened to how the staff neatly entertained two other customers couples there regarding all the possible gears and methods they need to understand to land that fish they were headed out for. Well, if I were on an espionage mission on behalf of the mighty countries PACIFIC and ATLANTIC, I would return immediately to report dire news that we can no longer win the impending battles against any customer shopping here. ******* $15/100 yards braided line. Line + spool cost included. read more

I have had Richard and his staff guys do all my recents line fills (braid and fluro), do all the customized lure riggings and other items to my specs. I make the 35 miles one-way drive from my house and worth the extra time going there. Everyone there has very good fishing expertise and skills. It's been a good find for me and now I've been bringing reels from my other buddies to get them done! read more

A little shop but with helpful friendly and informative sales personnel. Good guys. Except "R" the owner needs more social skills,We were able to get all the tackles that we needed for our fishing trips. Very satisfied and we would highly recommend for you to visit the shop. #tightlines read more

Richard's is a great local bait and tackle shop! The staff here is really friendly, knowledgable, and easy to work with. I came in here the other day before heading out to a boat trip at Lake Mead. It's been a while since I've fished, and I'm used to pier fishing in the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, so I figured I needed to brush up on some things and get some advice from some people in the area. The tackle shop itself is a decent size, and it's definitely a family mom and pop type of place. They have no shortage of fishing line, lures, weights, and rods for just about anyone. I got a lot of good advice from the guys that worked here, and they even taught me how to rig up a dropshot and which types of soft plastic lures to use at Lake Mead. Very personable employees who seem to have a passion for fishing and a solid foundation of knowledge of the area. It is kind of random that there is a tackle shop in Rosemead, but if you need anything, I wouldn't hesitate to come in here and ask away! We ended up catching a few catfish and a carp over at Lake Mead, and I'm glad I came in here to get some information before heading out. These guys also took a look at some of my friend's vintage fishing rods and gave him a general price point for how much they're worth. They also took the liberty of spooling our reels with new line! read more

These guys are so helpful. They showed me, who barely knows anything about fishing, exactly what to get on my fishing trip.

Gem of a find! Small shop with lots of stuff for any type of angler. They know their stuff and are constantly out fishing. The best part - their advice is free - they know all the places to go, where and when. Even though they are primarily bait casting & spin reel fishing store, they do occasionally get fly fishing questions. I have been a bait caster angler since I could walk but when I discovered fly fishing in Alaska last year, I started to dabble in it. Got a fly rod and reel for cheap on eBay then walked into Richard's store. The first impression was that they had no knowledge of fly fishing so they asked another person and he knew it all! Got my fly reel spooled up very inexpensively with backing, fly line, and tippets. Also grabbed some ocean water bait casting stuff as I have lots of rods & reels for them to feed. Anyone even interested in fishing, needs to come here - forget the big box stores where the employees don't know a thing about real fishing. Their prices are lower in many areas, especially sinkers. Their selection of hooks was amazing - found my Gamakatsu hooks at a price that made me smile like a clam! While I was there, an older man walks in with spinning reels he got cheap on Craigslist and asked them to spool them up. The employee looked at the reels and asked what the man would be fishing for. Turns out the 50 pound tuna class fish would rip the reel apart as the reels were not made for that type of fishing. Looking dejected, the man decided to get a real ocean reel from them and mumbled that he would be returning the cheap reels he got... read more

I love this place, the staff here are very knowledge. I used their recommendation for my trip to Catalina Island and I was able to catch a couple decent sized sheepshead. Im heading down to San Diego for my first time fishing for tuna, so I came back for recommendations. They took their time explaining the different types of hooks, jigs and demonstrated how to use them. Hopefully I can net a decent sized tuna! read more

The store is not friendly towards other ethnicities and people not spending a certain quantity of money I felt rushed throughout the store and the staff but 1 person was friendly and kindly to explain read more

Small little store but they have pretty much everything you need when comes to salt water fishing. I call several tackle stores looking for Okuma PCH rail rod and they had in stock. Not only did I end up buying the rod but I also walked away with Shimano reel and couple knife jigs for big Bluefin tunas. Close to the Freeway with easy parking access I found my local tackle store even though I live 15 miles away. read more
