Best Fishing Tackle

Finally found a good tackle shop somewhat close to the west side without having to drive down to the valley or South Bay. Huge selection and knowledgeable staff. If you are in a hurry, avoid going there on a Saturday afternoon as they get really busy, but if you stop there during your lunch hour you should be able to get all you need within a couple minutes. If you have any questions, look for Tony, he’s very knowledgeable and great at fixing rods and wrapping custom ones as well.

Very helpful.
I purchased a few big hammer lures.
The guys answered all my questions about saltwater fishing and gave me great advice.

One of the moat friendliest place to buy fishing supplies. A bit cramped inside but it is truly a hole in the wall. Prices were reasonable and there is a good selection of gear too. All in all a good experience. I’ll come back fore sure.

Went there today first time. Wow! Blew my socks off. Great prices on a selection you won’t believe. If they don’t have it you probably don’t need it. These guys know their stuff and have all the latest fishing scuttlebutt. Real fishermen selling real products! You’ll never go back to your local sports box store!

Great selection from economy all the way to the super high priced. Get your reels, rods, and terminal tackle here all in one place. All those hard to find lures like the Shimano flat fall are well stocked and competitively priced. Sinker prices are some of the best around. They have a huge warehouse in the back where they do a lot of their own terminal tackle brands.

Awesome little mom and pop store with great customer service. If you want any genuine advice come see these guys. Tony helped me out, he was very knowledgable and professional. Told the owner he needs to give this guy a raise haha. Big thumbs up! Will be coming here from now on!

Just went here earlier today to get my reels spooled with fresh line. The store was quite busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, there is on street parking in front of the store on Rosecrans and also a side lot with plenty of spaces. Despite being busy, I was able to get four reels emptied and refilled while I waited. While the reels were being re spooled, I wandered around and was able to pick up some hooks and swivels from a very large selection (used to shop at Purfields before they closed and Best’s selection is much wider than what they had but is a bit more cramped). While refilling the reels, Tony noticed that the clicker on one of my TLD 15/​30s had seized up so he spent 5 minutes stripping the handle and end cap off the reel, cleaning up the clicker spring and regreasing it. Fantastic customer service that you’d struggle to get at a big box store and I’ll definitely be back. Also had a friendly chat to the Korean lady who I think is the owner.
Their website shown above in this Unilocal seems to be incorrect. I was able to get much better information in English at

This is a very good place to buy all your tackle needs came in just to buy a few things but it’s like letting a kid in a candy store I spended about a hour here and walk out with everything I needed and more thanks see you guys I a week for more

Pretty cool place and decent selection. Not the best out there but pretty solid. They had some things I couldn’t find elsewhere and their prices are pretty good too. They had lucky craft lures for cheaper than anywhere else. I would have given this 5 stars but their service was so so and the shop could use a bit more cleaning.

i walked into this store and was surprised that a mom and pops store like this store still existed in the city of hawthorne and to make matters even worse it is one of the few to still be in business.
the advantage of this store is that it is located so close to home and it only takes you a few minutes to drive to get there. not just that but this store has a big selection of fishing tackle. they have a varitey of fishing reels ranging from your cheap 50 dollar reel all the way to your 600 dollar two speed. This store is run by people that fish so you will get knowledge from a experienced fisherman. They also do a good job when it comes to their reel and rod repairs. They charge very competitive prices compared to everyone else and are always willing to help you in any way possible.
They have a good selection in phenix rods and also make custom rods and therefore they have a good selection of blanks from you to choose from.
I recommend this place to anyone who likes to go fishing since you cannot go wrong with the service that you get here compared to your big chains like sports authority and sports chalet. so go check this place out.

LOVE this place !!!
people who works there are very helpful and always there to help !
shop is pretty big and carries many other item that other shop don’t carries with CHEAP PRICE !!!
overall one of the best quality CUSTOM ROD !!!
hope this help anyone who loves fishing but not quite satisfy with your gear.

They have what ever I have needed. Fair $ on repair. Carry price point and high end gear. Friendly, helpful but not in your grill. Were nice to my 3 and 5 yr old girls who I want to like fishing with papa. Did not laugh too hard at all the sparkly pink and purple lures we had on the counter. I like the mom and pop places.
I bought a cheap $ 15 surf cast real here 11 years ago and it still runs great. None of the redneck or macho vibe. They could use a little spring cleaning but so could my truck…
good solid tackle place.

Some of us usually go to the local Tackle Stores like Turner’s, Baja Fish Tackle, Fisherman’s Supply, Anglers Center; Sporting Goods stores like Sports Authority, Big 5, Sports Chalet, Dick’s Sporting Goods, etc.
There are times when you are looking for a special item someone told you about, that odd ball hook that you can’t find, that rig no one carries, items to fix or repair a fishing pole, Baits or Scents. This store can repair a rod or custom make one to your liking. They have fishing reels that may suit your budget and wind line onto it. They carry tackle boxes and tackle bags to keep and store all your gear. If you need a crab or lobster net, they have it. If you need some advise before you go out, they can help.
Best Bait & Tackle carries an assortment of tackle for most fish species, like Crappie, Carp, Trout, Catfish, Bass, Surf Perch, Barracuda, Rock Cod, WSB, Yellowtail, Tuna, etc. This store may not look like those fancy tackle store, but does it matter to those fish you’re trying to catch? No!

Good retail location with unique selection of products to support fishermen.
From rod building parts to reels to a wide sun visor that my wife liked a lot! Last time I was in I picked up some unique clippers that works great on spectra.
A good fishing tackle store to keep on the radar if you are on this side of town. Definitely worth stopping in to see what they have. If there is anything missing in your tackle box etc. Sometimes you do not know what is missing until you see it in the shop and go «Oh Yeah that will solve that problem last time I was fishing at … «
Not a lot of the smaller specialty stores left. They will not be the super clean high end retail shop like a Sport Chalet and we don’t expect that. But if they dusted and gave a tad more service I’d give them 5 stars.
Tip: Share a life long habit… Take a Kid fishing!
PS their web site is…

that has lots of photos of the inside inventory of tackle and gear. Nice.
If you are Korean the this is definitely your store. They even have a
Koreanclub section on the web site.
PPS. Do not confuse the «Best Bait and Tackle» retail shop with the other business at the same address for wholesale sales of tackle nation wide. That is Chaeil Fishing Tackle @
