Tackle Store Recommendations - Melbourne Area

Post by feeshsmart » Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:15 am

Hi team,

I've recently moved down from Brisbane and am after some tackle store recommendations in and around Melbourne. I was spolit in Brisbane, not living too far from Tackle Warehouse. I predominantly fish lures and bait and haven't ventured into fly fishing just yet. Does anyone know a store with a good range and friendly/knowledgeable staff?

I live in Richmond at the moment, so willing to drive up to around 45 mins-an hour every so often if the store is worth it!

Cheers

Armadale Angling is pretty close. Trevor there is very knowledgeable.
Otherwise, Compleat Angler in the CBD and The Flyfisher in South Melbourne.

Awesome thanks Sebb! I forgot to mention in my original post but I'm often in the North Eastern/Eastern suburbs, so if you have any recommendations in those area would be much appreciated. Cheers

Compleat Angler Ringwood and Aussie Angler Greensborough are pretty good.

Noel’s Tackle Bar in Essendon is worth a look. Has live bait available and a decent range of fishing tackle. Bill owns and runs the store and is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Complete Angler Ringwood used to be great.

The new owner is a rip off merchant though and I’ll never go back.
