Mahi Tackle

Awesome store, and great owner. Billy is the owner and he will take time to help his customers. Big selection of rods and reels and tackle. Favorite fishing store around here!

As a newbie fisherman, I bought over $ 2,500 from Mahi Tackle for fishing reels, 4 Talica 10II and 1 Talica 12 with all new PP braided lines because I like to support mom and pop stores vs big box stores. After two months of research, I found out I did not need 4 Talica 10II (new-​in-​box) and requested to trade 1 Tac 10II in for Trinida 20A and willing to pay for the difference but got turned down. Mahi Tackle will no longer be my go to store over this and I was going to buy 5 new Phenix rods from them to go with the new reels, couple Talica 16II, Tac 20II and could easily spend another $ 10,000 for new salt water fishing equipment between me and my co workers. I gave them 4 starts for good fishing selection but will not spend my future money here and wish they had made a better decision.

Great service one of the best stocked and best customer service tackle shop. I was looking for the shimano butterfly flat fall jig and called 20 stores and nothing, called the headquarters and they said they are sold out nationwide. I found these guys on Amazon and then tried calling to see if they had any in stock and by luck they had just got their last shipment. I drove two hours thru traffic from Hollywood and thought I wasn’t gonna receive the online order till the following week and it was already delivered when I got to the store. Fast service good customer service and great prices!

Good and straight to the point, helped with what’s active and how to fish for it, great experience.

billy really knows his stuff. great small tackle shop that will have all the newest stuff.

Mahi tackle is a awesome tackle shop. This tackle supply’s the best bait, the best tackle, and the best customer service in town! As a young avid fisherman this tackle shop is like candy land for me. The people who work there; billy and Chris, are great with all levels of different people, they can help you with almost everything. I guess you can say Mahi tackle Is the dictionary of fishing judging by the help and comfort you get right when you walk in the store! So stop by at Mahi tackle and you won’t be disappointed

Very good fishing store where owner is friendly and have knowledge on fishing gears. My first purchase was thru online and Billy (Owner) shipped my fishing rod the very next day and I was able to receive the package in few days. On my next purchase, I have decided to take some time out and visit him at his store. Somehow, he remembered my name and what I have purchased online and gave me 300yrds of free spectra with the purchase of my new reel. Billy seems to be very patient and honest when it comes down to running his business. He answered most of my questions except for the reel I purchase but otherwise store has pretty much everything you need for your salt water fishing. And most of all Billy is a super nice guy!

One of the best local tackle shops around! Awesome customer service, hands down! I can go on and on about good customer service there but you should go in and check it out for yourself next time you need any fishing gear.

One thing I find most annoying about the majority of fishing tackle stores in the area is the poor level of customer service. You will not have that problem here; Billy runs a great shop, and you can instantly sense his passion for fishing and his desire to take care of his customers.
I have been shopping here for 3 years and I will not shop anywhere else. Billy carries all the gear and tackle you will need and he doesn’t try to intimidate you with his way of how fishing should be. He really listens to what your goals are, and then helps you get the right gear to reach those goals. In additon, he is always willing to show you alternatives and options you may not have thought of.
Lastly, he is just a good guy, who has the patience to guide and educate you. He has personally made me a better fisherman and expanded my abilities through his experience and advice.

Almost everything you buy in fishing gear is price controlled anyways, its not like you get a better deal at a large retailer, so why put up with poor service? Shop Local! Do yourself a favor and stop by… You won’t be disappointed.

Fishing Hot Spot — Located on Magnolia and Garfield a few doors down from 711.
Mahi Tackle is best know for having the most popular fishing reels, rods, and accessories.
I purchased a Shimano Rod 15 – 25 — 8ft rod and it is great. Love this thing. I have never seen this type of rod at any fishing stores. My setup is so sick. The owner is a local fisherman and knows what setup or rig to run for any style fishing.
He gave me good advice for my setup and i catch a lot of fish now.
His prices are pretty good and stand buy warranties. I had one of my rods break in half because i caught a 10 foot Thresher shark and he was so heavy he just snap my pole in half. It was awesome though. I took my rod back to Mahi Tackie and the owner said pick out another pole. I was like dang that was simple. I love that.
I recommend all my buddies to this tackle shop if they are serious about fishing.
Way better then Turners down the street.

Billy hooked me up with the right gear and taught me all sorts of knots and gave me insight on what set ups I should use for certain fish. I am a complete beginner in the ocean fishing game, but I feel somewhat experienced after talking with Billy (shop owner/​operator). If you need fishing gear stop by Mahi Tackle

Billy is awsome very knowledgeable and able help you out on what’s biting and what is the right bait. his prices are very reasonable. great tackle selection and his reel repairs are great, i would reccommend this place to everyone. come on in and meet Billy and see for yourself.

Billy runs a great shop here. Whether you’re fishing freshwater or saltwater, Mahi Tackle has (or can get) what you need. Billy stocks a nice selection of saltwater gear and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to inshore and offshore fishing. Granted, his stock of freshwater tackle isn’t as big… but since the Pacific Ocean is literally right down the street, this makes perfect sense.
I came in the other day looking for some saltwater gear and he provided me with a wealth of information and advice on the proper setups I’d need. Let’s just say that I left that visit with a brand new Phenix rod in hand and can’t wait to break it in on a nice sized fish.
Rods, reels, line, hooks, weights, plastics, bait, tackle, storage, apparel… Mahi’s got a lot of it. Service is good, if not great. I’ve seen quite a few new customers and regulars come through here with questions and Billy’s always been happy to help. If I had to complain about anything here, it’s that they don’t build custom rods. No biggie, though. Perhaps, one day… I can always hope, can’t I?

This review is long overdue. Billy is awesome! He’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He shared his wealth of knowledge of setups for saltwater fishing with us. He gave us a range of options based on what we’re fishing for and didn’t try to sell us what we don’t need. He was also quick to recommend lures that are best sellers or have worked well for his customers. Prices are fair and they tend to be a little less than Long Fins. We will certainly return to purchase more tackle soon.

First off, Mahi Tackle carries some of the best fishing equipment around; not your average bass pro shop/​cabelas/​field time sports/​turners. Pricing is very fair and the owner Billy is very helpful. I bought a rod and reel setup and he threw in spectra spider wire and p-​line for free and also installed it onto my reel for me. Billy takes the time to answer your questions and directs you to what you want/​need, and nothing more. Billy has a great business motto and I will definitely come back here for my fishing needs.

A friend of mine introduced me to this tackle shop last week and I love it. The owner Billy is a really honest and helpful guy.
I went in looking to put together a ~$ 200 surf fishing set up and some advice on what type of tackle to use out there on a budget for what I was fishing for. Billy also offered to order some rods that seemed to be what I was looking for that were not available in the store. He pointed me to some lures and let me check out the rods and told me about the local spots that he has good luck with.
After I purchased my tackle he even took out some line and showed me how to tie some knots and some good bass/​halibut set ups. I caught a 15+ inch halibut my first time out! :)
All of the reels/​rods in this store are within $ 10 of all of the cheapest prices I have found online, the prices on weights, line and hooks are some of the cheapest I’ve found around the area as well.
They also carry live blood worms and other assorted live baits. As far as I know they also do reel repairs and reel servicing. Great tackle shop that offers good advice and doesn’t try to push anything on you that you’re not looking to buy.
