J & E Fishing Supplies Inc

Love coming here with my boyfriend to stock up on our fishing supplies! Like how they open up pretty earlier than other fishing stores. They open @ 8AM! We usually have the ladies help us out with what hooks we wanna buy & how much led we need. They have pretty good deals too.

best fishing hats!

This is a great store if your looking for fishing tackle. I’ve been coming to this store since they were on the west end of King street. I like this location better.
The mom and daughter team that work here are very helpful. Some people might think opposite but if its your first time, you might get that impression but if you can get past that its all good. It’s been like that since the old store so have a little thick skin.
If you don’t know what size hook you need, they have a small board with the different sizes for you to choose from and the number size so you know next time. I think this is the only store that does that. It just cuts through the guessing.
They have everything you need from hooks to ulua poles, crab nets to throw nets (which the mom sews herself!) and lay nets, sand spikes just to name a few. Its easy to go crazy in here if you don’t have a mental list of what you need.
The prices here are not bad either. Its pretty much more or less than other stores.
The store is in the back past subway. The sign is not huge but you’ll see it on the warehouse wall. When its busy, parking can be tight because they only have a few stalls.

My husband loves this place. He’s been coming here for years and for some reason this time we visited the lady was hovering our shoulders and every move we made she’s right there. Come on lady, u need to get a grip. She was pretty irritated when my husband asked for a item that wasn’t on the shelf and she summoned her mother (I assumed) to look for it. Anyways the lady (not the mom) found it and threw the box on the counter. Anyways Lady! Why u acting like you do, just because my husband is not the most approachable person bc of is facial hair and scruffy look, it doesn’t mean u gottah judge him. Anyways, other than her attitude and lack of being a people person, this place deserves at least 3 stars.

I totally love this place, too bad it’s not closer to home or else I would go to J&E’s more often. Totally worth the drive from Waipahu.
So, I’ve been going to J&E’s since they was located by the old bowling alley and pet shop. They have a particular paper thin lure that they sell by the sheet that no other store has. Their egg leads are pretty cheap when you buy by the bulk. They also have a good supply and variety of rods and ulua poles. They also have Shimano and Penn reels which are cheap in comparison to other places. I just picked up a Shimano CI+4400 for $ 200 when other places sold it for $ 230
They have a variety of lures and poppers also. I think most of their items are imported from Japan because they have a lot of items that other fishing supply store don’t have.
Oh and I can’t forget to mention the store owners. They are an awesome mother & daughter team exhibiting excellent customer service. Don’t let them fool you because they are females… They are very knowledgable in their fishing gear!
Highly recommended if you haven’t been to J&E Fishing supply. They also have reserved parking stalls for their customers which is a plus!

Very helpful ladies. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. Will be returning for my fishing supplies

My partner and I have been serious snorkelers and beginner freedivers. This small store has everything you need for fishing. Not the store for us.
Customer Service 5 Star. You feel welcomed.
Very small store behind Yanagi Sushi.

My dad told me about this place. He used to go here years ago. I like their selection. A little bit of everything I need. I usually buy my ultralight poles from them.
The mom is really nice and knowledgable. I like her. The daughter, well, I’m gonna have to agree with Ryan L. on that. I know I look like a punk but it still bothers me that she’s always looking over my shoulder. Following me around the store like I’m gonna steal something. Maybe it’s a Kalihi thing. Idk. And as soon as I pay for my things she’s pushing me out the door.
When mom retires my review might be changed to 2 stars. We’ll see.
* Just so you know, 99% of the time I fish from shore with an ultralight (whipping). No slide bait, kayak, or boat; so my review doesn’t apply to those things.

Customer service? The mother is of great help, the daughter is socially inept. As a local I will not accept discrimination. We have never been treated like this from any business. Aloha and good luck.

The friendliest, most helpful fishing store I’ve been to in Hawaii. Some stores feel like a «club» to which you aren’t a member. Sometimes it’s hard to interupt a conversation to ask a question when the owners or employees are busy talking to their regulars. Others don’t even ask if you need help; J&E isn’t that kind of store, they are welcoming and earger to assist you.
Don’t let first impressions fool you, these two ladies know their stuff and offer excellent advice. I especially like their selection of rods, they offer brands and models that provide excellent performance at resonable prices.

This is the place to get your fishing supplies from they have everything you need. The Mother/​daughter team are friendly and helpful I have been going here for years. Lots of hard to find items as well as great selection This is the Place!
What I tend to get from here are Swivels, Slides, small lead (they have all different kinds of small lead) hooks by the box or in packets, line and small poles.
I kinda miss their old location as it was a lot more homey feeling there and small town feeling but It is still great to go and visit them and talk story at the new location (it’s still new to me after all this time, since I loved the old location).
