Best bait & tackle shop in town. Save money on everything. Most used shop, for fisherman, in the know! In San Diego! Joey, owner all great services, and staff!
This place rocks everything you could possibly want for fishing. A huge selection of fishing pole making supplies. I bought a very nice lobster net and kit. I also bought fishing license and lobster card. The people working here had some serious customer service skills. They were kind, helpful and I didnt have to wait. Which was amazing because this place was busy. Also I want to point out when trying to find the place if you blink you can miss it. It looks small from outside but has a huge selection.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Good prices. Best spot in SD.
This is an awesome fishing store! Ryan had me in an out fast and set me up with the perfect deep sea set up!
Great tackle, rods, reels. Theyll share local knowledge, and outfit you appropriately. Rod & reel repair available.
Been going here for years still very happy with prices, inventory, and service. Far better than other places.
They been around a long time, and I have been a client since they were back on ketner ave. They offer service and repairs and have an excellent inventory, great store for every angler!
Knowledgeable staff has everything you need for your fishing trip
Probably the best experience Ive had at any tackle store ever. Joey is a class act. I wish there was a Squidco everywhere.
These people know customer service. You cant be in this store long without being greeted. They might just say they will be with you shortly. But they usually find out what you are looking for and head you in the right direction until they can get to you. There is always a crowd, but somehow they really seem to get people taken care of quickly, without making you feel rushed. If you have questions about anything fishing related, these people have the answers.
Been hanging with friends fishing the bay, and I finally wanted my own set up. Boy am I happy I went here. I walked in and Ryan greeted me right away, asked if I had any questions and boy did I. I must had asked over 100 questions and this guy seemed to actually enjoy answering every question I had. He didn’t try to sell me on anything either, just answered all my questions in patient detail, he even walked through the shop showing me examples. After almost an hour of questions I purchased a pole and a reel and couldn’t had felt better about it. This guy Ryan then asked me if I needed advice on lures or bait, and told me to bring in my tackle box. No joke, he actually took the time to go through all the stuff I had and explain to me the pros and cons of each piece. Of course I bought a few lures after that lol. By far the BEST customer service I could had ever asked for, above and beyond, no doubt. Squidco is lucky to have guys like this in their shop.
Great customer service and very helpful staff! Ill definitely come back again :)
Awesome people and a great variety of options!
Shop here before every trip we take. Service and repair reels for great price and quality work! Lots of tackle and gear to choose from for little spot. Awesome customer service!!
A supplier of no-nonsense fishing equipment and rod building materials to the in the know locals of the Southern San Diego area. A great place with good prices.
I dropped my reel off in October 2020 and still have heard no word about it (now April 2021). So when they say a reel could take 2 weeks to 3 months.. expect at least 8 months, possibly more..
Best fishing store in San Diego, they have serviced and repaired my reels multiple times and are very good.
Joey is the best and the rest of his staff. Always helpful.
Great service and good prices
Very knowledgeable staff, very helpful
Ryan was great in assisting me buy tackle for my son. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and genuinely helpful.
My husband loves this place as it is a fishermans toy store. Not much girlie stuff but great place for guys. He always comes home with tje latest and greatest tackle. The guys that work there know their stuff
Great selection and knowledgeable staff.
Best Tackle Store in Southern California. Everything you need to catch fish. Best Staff Ever!!! A++++
Fantastic customer service! Keep up the good work!
This is home of all great fisherman, the only thing they need is a wall of fame, there staff is pretty knowledgable and they have a wide variety. They are quick in their service and try to get you in and out quick. I been a customer for 10 years now and have only good things to say. But im due to come back for my Red Jig. Great place for beginners and the main spot for the pros.
Super impressed with this store. I came in today after a fishing tournament with a friend. They were very welcoming, they offered lots of help, and they knew their stuff. I was also surprised that they would give out free drinks. I thought that was pretty damn cool. They have a large variety of fishing rods, Line, bait and more. I would definitely be returning, and recommend this place to others
Excellent knowledge and fast turnaround on putting line on reels.
Amazing service! REEL new to fishing ;) young guys at the shop were super helpful and informative. They helped girlfriend and I setup our poles and were patient as we asked questions. A new customer should never feel like they’re a burden, and Squidco knows that, Even if it’s for extra sales, that’s the way to do it. This place is OFF THE HOOK!!
I prefer this place locally more than other shops. I prefer quick trips and am able to get in and out rather quickly. I got hear for rod wrapping supplies as they have most of what is needed as far as components and supplies. They have a decent selection of surface irons and a nice price guide for available reels. There is a fair rod selection to get you on the water same day. The people there are knowledgeable and can answer just about any questions you may have. Very helpful staff.
Very helpful group of guys getting us set up to fish. Knowledgeable
Outstanding shop. Staff is very knowledgeable and there is a wide selection of fishing gear and accessories. Great custom rods and rod building accessories.
Always a great experience! Staff is extremely knowledgeable! They always have what I need!
Small shop compared to the original downtown SD but GREAT FRIENDLY service will keep me coming back!
Worker dropped a chair on my head and didn’t even acknowledge it. It hurt☹️
Great shop, first time that we stepped into the shop we were treated as if we were regulars! They take customer service very seriously here and give the best service out of any store front by far! Everyone I recommend here have had nothing but positive experiences and if your new to the hobby they have a lot of patience and knowledge to help get you started and they won’t take advantage of you by trying to up sell you on unnecessary tackle! They will set you up within beginner gear and let you move up as needed or wanted.
I went here because I wanted to go lobster fishing. I have no experience with lobster fishing. The young guy who helped me was very helpful. He explained how to fill in the lobster card, recommended the bait to use, and which net. I will be going back for any future fishing needs. Im sorry I dont remember the guys name .
It was a pleasure shopping here. Very safety minded, and they gave great advice to us out of towners on a local fishing spot.
Awesome tackle shop!
These folks are the best. Friendly, helpful and kind to thoes who know nothing. I wish they could take me fishing to show me how to.🤪
Joey and his crew are the best. Always very helpful. Its a small shop compared to other tackle shops but they have everything you need to hit the salt.
Very knowledgeable staff and friendly.. you dont need to be a pro to shop here and they will gladly answer your questions. Highly recommended 👌
Very very friendly also very helpful
Ryan and Peter were amazing ! Not experienced and had a lot of beginner questions and they both were very knowledgeable . So so happy with my purchases .
Kept social distancing in place. Even though the store was busy. Went in for 1 year Mexican fishing license and they beat everyones online price from $60 + to only $55 out the door. And they didnt mess around either, got in ... got out in no time flat. Most excellent work gentlemen ... BRAVO .!.!.!
The hospitality is the best Ive ever seen..if you need work done to your rod and reels they are the experts to get you the help you need. I highly recommend this shop..U
Great customer service
Great staff. Good prices.
Best place to find shipping equipment. And great customer service. I really recommend all Fisher men.
The staff was totally awesome and were wonderful. We live in Utah and got us everything we needed to fish and do lobster traps.Thand you so much Squido Fishing.
Joey at Squidco and his crew have treated me, Joe and my son, Jesse with the best customer service anyone could ask for. My son got his first rod there at the age of 5, he is now 8 and we still keep going back there for almost everything fishing. I can not say we will ever stop being Squidco customers. They are experienced, honest, fair, knowledgeable, and express common courtesy and respect toward their customers and themselves. I’ve been to surrounding fishing stores where the people in charge lack in these areas and it is why I highly recommend anyone looking for fishing gear to go to Squidco. It’s a one and done!
Good prices, plus they are willing to help you out with whatever you are looking for or need! Great customer service!
The best in value, experience and knowledge.
It has a variety of fishing suppliesPrice of product is average.
Very knowledgeable staff. Great attitude. They have an awesome selection of fishing equipment. My favorite tackle shop
Drove in from Tucson Az and was needing bait and supplies .. GPS had a issue finding them but they are right there on the main street . PARKING NOT GOOD very small lot but find a spot its worth it . Selection is GREAT and the SERVICE is the BEST ! Tiny store and not a inch of space wasted they are packed full of all things fishing . I found my new 1st stop for all fishing supplies. This place is a great store with a family feel and all fishing is supposed to be family. I WILL BE BACK
Very helpful staff. It was my first, but definitely not my last.
Super friendly and knowledgeable! Great selection and the best prices... What more could you want?
This is one of the best fishing supply stores in San Diego. Definitely a hidden treasure. The staff is super friendly, fast & extremely helpful. If they dont have it, they will find it for you. Ive never had a bad shopping experience.
Excellent products, clean, way better than excellent service, special thanks to Ryan.
I was shown this place by a friend and it didnt disappoint. Great place for all your fishing needs. Good selection of products and the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their products. This is the best place in the area and the only one I go to now.
Great staff and gear
Iconic old fishing shop
Very friendly and knowledgeable.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. If it isnt too busy, theyre more than happy to help you find the gear that works best for you and your budget. Ill definitely be returning for all of my saltwater fishing needs. Thank you Joe and Bruce.
When i walked in on a hot day, i was offer water and soda without purchasing anything. I declined and bought a crab net and a lobster card. I would say they do have wonderful customer service.
Staff are very professional. Area is well-organized. Parking is tight..
Excellent customer service. Get there!
Sometimes better prices elsewhere but you will miss out on their excellent customer service. Everybody in the store greets you as you walk in and offer you something to drink. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Any time that i feel like trying/ buying something new, Darius points me in the right direction. Best tackle shop in SD!
Great OG place to get fishing stuff
Easy to miss this place as you might drive right past, but the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Input is worth the time to talk with them and get advice on new setups. Prices seem to be better than most places as well.
The best gear at the best price along with great people. What more could you want?
My go-to for all my saltwater fishing needs
Tiny place, but they have packed it with everything you could possibly need to get fishing. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to help you find whatever you may need or to answer your questions. They also offered me a bottle of water while I waited for my reel to be lined. Great experience and very fair prices.
The very best mom and pop fishing shop in San Diego, still run by a family, great service, awesome selection, lowest prices in town. The place is kinda hidden, right next to some shipping containers, so your have to know what to look for and how to get there, but once you do, its worth it. The one thing I can complain about is that theyre closed Sundays. Otherwise its always a pleasure going there. oh and they have frozen bait too.
They have everything you need for fishing in the Salt at a fair price!
Great service, good selection, the kind of local business any San Diego resident should support.
Strongly recommend this place for people newer to salt water fishing. Extremely helpful and put you on the best price performance gear to start and will walk you up if you want, not trying to oversell you. Prices are very competitive vs internet. Super helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Joey at Squid co always has all you could want for your fishing needs. I bought a new diawa Lexa reel today. Got a great price for it. I also bought my Mexican fishing license there!
Wow what a shop. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I went in the a $50 budget for a trout rod, I was shown a $150 option. The salesman talked me down to at $15 rod that met my needs perfectly. I ended up picking up some line and lures. Its a little tight and very busy (for a reason). But worth the 30 minute drive.
Great experience. I came in knowing nothing and these folks hooked me up. Very respectful, polite, and professional. No hard sale, just pure knowledge and experience, I will be going back for sure. I intend to return anytime I need or need fishing gear.-Kyle
Best fishing store in San Diego. Ive been coming. Here for years and cant express how knowledgeable and supportive the staff are.Cant recommend this place enough!
Wow just wow! Greeted instantly by a passionate knowledgeable staff member who loves fishing and will take the time to share his passion all without trying to sell me stuff! Amazing! For sure the only place I will go for fishing equipment in San Diego period! His love for fishing was infectious! Highly highly recommend!!!!!
Small but well stocked knowledgeable good prices independent
Squidco offers a great selection of tackle. Their team members are knowledgeable and helpful.
Great spot and friendly staff went in for a lobster report card and was helped really quick regardless of the fact that they had people shopping they also had an immense selection of tackle and gear will be returning
SECOND TO NONE! I really miss the Squid Co Family.
Excellent shop. Best selection I have ever seen, amazing customer service. The employees are extremely friendly and helpful. Will be buying from here again in the near future.
Easily my favorite hole in the wall fishing shop. The staff is always friendly and extremely know knowledgeable on current locations and tactics. The prices are also very good. I go out of my way to make sure they are my first choice.
This excellent store provided not only every piece of equipment I needed for my Baja Mexico trip but also friendly advice and a drink out of their cold ice chest to boot. I would highly recommend Squidco for all your fishing needs especially if youre headed to Mexico!!
