Vancouver Fishing supplies

[saltydawg]

Went to "The Big Smoke" for xmas. I'm an old Vancouver boy but now I don't know my way around any more.
Who has the best salt water fishing supplies in Van now.? Biggest selection. Anybody in Vancouver doing used equip similar to Sidneys Boaters Exchange.
I know about Steveston Hardware and Nikka. I love these places. Can spend hours there.
Am I missing anything when I go to Vancouver.

thanks in advance

Nikka is probably your one stop shop...and I'd pick Redden Net in Steveston area.

As for Steveston Marine---count on paying FULL retail and I avoid them if you're buying in quantity---volume wins everytime.....---and Nikka, Redden Net, and Pacific Net and Twine are probably the best bests.

If you're looking for some higher end stuff----Berry's Bait and Tackle has nice rods/reels...and they're ok for somethings.

Otherwise---your best place is probably Nikka, Redden Net, and Pacific Net and Twine---best prices around. If you're a guide---you can try Redl.

That's all you need to know.

Quite right!

I was in Nikka day before yesterday always impressed with what's on offer.

If you're a guide try Active Tackle 603-323-1815

Active Tackle is good--and their service is AWESOME! However the selection can be kinda small depending on what you're after.....but it you need quantity....that's the place to go.

I second Active Tackle, good for large orders. I like how they custom machine tie any Hali rig you want.
