Very friendly staff always got the right answers. They helped me a lot as to what was good for Local Fishing and I caught some fish that that's a good combination. Thank you for what you do. read more

Staff was not helpful and didn't seem to notice I was there. Overheard owner talking about how much he marked up his items, and it can be seen, lures were waayyyy to overpriced read more

Small shop with a solid selection of fresh water and salt water gear. They have live bait, too. But the best part of my experience was the advice and expertise of the owner and staff, who set me up with what I needed for strippers including some thoughtful guidance on where to fish, Resulted in some good fishing in the following week. It reminded me why local places, and not buying on line, are worth it. Compliments to the team here, and much gratitude. read more

Great selection, super knowledgeable staff. They hooked me up and then told me some good spots to fish!

Great tackle shop!!! On vacation and stopped by to get bait and tackle. Finding accessible fishing locations with fish in Maine can be very difficult for outsiders like me; a lot of areas are private property with limited to no parking. The owner was kind and friendly, and he pinpointed the exact location for good fishing spots, even letting me know perfect times and obstructions to be aware of. The tackle shop was a great stop. Caught 4 nice sized schoolies in about an hour. Great experience. read more

Exceptional service and knowledge for both fly fishing and conventional "spin" gear. I visited thinking I needed new reels and loads of stuff. Instead the staff spent an hour showing me that my gear was fine, and I just needed some new line and other terminal tackle. Full service as they set me up. Deep knowledge. Fun staff. I don't need to hunt for another place. read more

My husband needed some tackle while visiting Portland, the following is his review: As a fisherman from Arizona, we obviously don't do much ocean fishing. Pete was super helpful and took the time to talk with me about what I needed. It's the best tackle shop I've been to. Thanks! read more

Best in the area. Owner Dana and his staff can be counted on for both their local knowledge: where the fish are running and what they're hitting, and great advice on tackle. Prices are low -- comparable to, say Cabella's, lower than Bean's, and combined with that local insight, the go-to place to get equipped. read more

Best place for everything fishing, and other things too. Very experienced and knowledgeable staff here! read more

Unlike thousands of bait shops across North America, The Tackle Shop specializes in helping YOU catch your next fish, whether its your first or on a fly. I drove 410 miles from Philadelphia straight to this downtown Portland shop, where I learned where and how to catch the small striped bass that have invaded Maine's tidal rivera this summer (small Fin-S Salt Shaker paddletail rubber on 1/2 oz leadheads). The owner even pulled his phone out to show me spots and lures that worked earlier this summer. They have everything you need to catch fish in southern and MidCoast Maine, whether in fresh or saltwater, and will take the time to ensure that you are physically and intellectually prepared to do so. This is one of my top 5 fishing stores. Period. read more

TS has a wide variety of tackle from freshwater fly fishing to inshore striper fishing equipment. The staff is quiet but helpful about local fishing. I am new to the area and they helped me get set up for striper fishing in Casco Bay. They definitely have the best gigantic blood worms in the area. read more

My son and I were visiting from out of town and stopped for some advice on local freshwater fishing spots. The gentleman manning the store was very helpful, pointing out a no. of good spots along with very specific directions. In fact, he took out his Ipad and pulled up satellite view and showed us. He also recommended a couple of lures that would work well (and they did). We hit a couple of those spots and they were as advertised. The shop has a nice mix of freshwater and saltwater fare. BTW, we had stopped at Cabelas and also asked for advice; the folks there gave us some suggestions but the fellow at the Tackle Shop really knew the area much better. Highly recommend the place. read more
