This spot is great,young guy who works there is super friendly and with nice tips for local fishing spots. With his advice I caught my first redfish ever and really beast! I will be back again one day,huge hello from NYC!

I had a great experience today at Southeastern! As soon as I got there I was greeted by Gary who took his time to fix my pole as well as helped me pick out a new rod and reel. I was also assisted by Max who helped me pick out all of the tackle that I needed for an upcoming fishing trip and took his time to help me set up a few leaders, taught me how to tie a few knots and gave me good advice. I appreciate the friendly service!

Must visit!!! I won’t buy fishing gear anywhere else. Locally owned business that has a huge selection with all the best products in stock. The staff will also spend time with you giving great tips.

Just went in and the staff really took care of me. I definitely will be back. I hadnt been in there for a very long time new ownership has it going in the right direction. Great prices Great gear Great people.

Love this place. They always have great help and knowledge to give. Great selection without all of the garbage the big box stores carry and try to push on you.

Austin was very helpful and helped me get a rod paired with my reel. Very fast, knowledgeable and great service!

Austin was extremely knowledgeable and quite helpfull on my rod and reel selection. Id recommend any angler to come visit him.

I came on Saturday October 2nd to repair a broken tip on my fishing rod and we had the pleasure of meeting Austin. From the moment we met him we knew this young man’s personality and Charisma was exceptional. His Customer Service and knowledge of products in the store was exceptional, but must importantly was his genuine and kind personality that I ended up buying a Daiwa Salttiga from Him. He is definitely an asset to this company and my wife and I had a great experience dealing with Him. Definitely we will be back to continue giving our business to this company because of our experience with Austin.

Really friendly and knowladgeble. Brian was great assisting me with getting my poles in perfect conditions. Great place

This is a shop that has old, recent, and brand new gear! The aisles are all completely full from the top to the floor! Clothing to fishing rod repairs! They have all the saltwater tackle and freshwater lures to have you on your favorite spot properly equipped to handle a day of fishing. The store is expansive, so it will require an hour or so to peruse the merch. There are plenty of rod and reel combos all in one store to ensure you find something you like! 4/5 stars.(Please repair the flooring to ensure the safety of your customers as that will be far costlier in case of accident.-1 star)

Great customer service. Diego is very knowledgeable and also very patient. He took the time to answer all of our questions and steer us towards the correct gear. You just dont get that at big box stores.

SFT is always having great deals and discounts. Best tackle shop in Tampa Bay. Rewards program is a huge plus!

Excellent place to find all of your fishing supplies! Very knowledgeable and they even repair reels! Thank you South Eastern!

Austin is very knowledgeable about the products in this store. I walked out with everything I needed.

Austin and Aiden were super helpful. Im new to the area and they had solid advice on where to fish and whats biting. definitely will br coming here from now on!! keep up the good work guys

Awesome tackle shop with great selection and extremely helpful employees

My local reel repair shop. They did a fantastic job and got my Shimano tuned up.

Aidan helped me with a sweeet new combo love this place it’s my new go to!!

One of the best tackle shops I’ve been to period. Living in Tampa and cape may area New Jersey most my life I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of local family owned shops around me, that I will always support but this is something special. Fish in Tampa area Do your self a favor and shop here, we are lucky to have this shop.

Great customer service very helpful truly best tackle shop in tampa!

This is the place for all your Fishing Tackle and Frozen bait needs. The BEST selection of Shimano rods I’ve seen anywhere in the Tampa Bay area. The BEST prices on hooks & Slip sinkers. Stock up & save!Knowledgeable and friendly staff always ready to help you.Just bought a new Daiwa Saltiga 20LD single speed conventional with the New Shimano Tallus PX rod.Great price and 5% rewards!Thank you Guys at SFT!

The 2 young guys helped me a lot and they were super cool.

Stopped by this afternoon to purchase a couple of reels. Even though the shop is an active worksite, the staff, Diego in particular made my purchasing experience a professional and pleasantone.

They carry New and used items for sale- my wife got a new pink and white fishing rod and reel that she loves, and I got a great used rod and reel for a great price. Associates are kind and knowledgeable. Dont forget your mask !

Amazing place! All the staff were extremely helpful and handy, got all the stuff I need!

Im a brand newbie to saltwater fishing. The staff at Southeastern were fantastic and got me off to a good start with not only equipment but also education and information. Thank you!

The customer service was exceptional!! The two gentlemen that helped me, Diego and LA, were very knowledgable and assisted me with respooling my braided line (new black color), adding a new tip for my rod and sharing ideas for frog fishing. We talked different knots we like to use and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommend!! Tell them AL sent you.

This place is great! Adi and his team have really turned it around. I will be recommending to everyone.

Go here for all my fishing needs. Has a wide variety of rods and reels, plus great service with experienced fisherman to help you out while you are in there.

Great customer service and set me up with a new reel and great tips for catch some slob snook!

If youre in the Tampa Bay area, look no further! Has everything you need. Been shopping here for years and the staff looks out for sure, props to Andrew and Austin to name a few.

Excellent experience! A little something for every fisherperson! Used and refurbished and new items available at reasonable prices. I found myself a beautiful Pink and white rod and reel and had pink line put on ( at the suggestion of an employee, Diego, there. He said you can see the line better in the water, and hey, I like pink, so YESSS.Diego is an asset to the store. Very knowledgeable and friendly, made our shopping trip funner. (I love to shop anyway) Michael checked us out at the front and was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊 💓

Great prices and friendly knowledgeable staff

Great service and if they don’t have it they will find it and or get it for you.

Great selection but good lord do they need advice on customer service. Prices are solid. Worth a trip if close but thats it.

Good service good selection, will be returning again.

First time visiting this lil diamond of a fishing world store,they repair rods and reels and have a huge stock of just about all the tackle you will need for fishing. If your looking for a rod,a reel,a rod an reel combo,cast net,frozen baits,shirts for fishing,glasses for fishing,etc.etc. then this is a must stop shop.better prices than bass pro and alot of other tackle supply chain stores. I highly recommend this place,great customer service and very knowledgeable to help set you up with the right gear. Will definitely be back time an time again!

Love this place great prices! Great merchandise!

Great customer service and price. A good selection of new and used rods and reels.

Ive been shopping here for years. They always have exactly what I need and their prices are fair.

I stopped in Sunday afternoon, although the placed looked cleaner it lacked its previous charm and friendly staff. The guy I believe to be the owner was rude and made me feel uncomfortable. Not worth the drive.

Huge selection, helpful people. Fixed a broken rod tip while I bought a net, this is for sure my new favorite tackle shop and will be my go-to.

Excellent fishing place for it all!

Small store but have everything and organized but some prices more expensive than Bass Pro.

Great selection great customer service too. Im looking forward toGoing back.

If you havent been to this place your missing out. Mike and staff are awesome. Great selection and prices. Highly recommended.

Went to 2 other tackle shops. This is the only one that had what we needed.

Could not get nobody to wait on me, once they found out how much I was looking to spend. The good. They have everything in that store except the fish themselves. I have never seen such an inventory. If they dont have it, it hasnt been invented yet. Yes I recommend the store and yes I will go there again.

This is one of my tackle joints. They gave an awesome selection. The guys are very helpful as well. I recommend whole heartedly.

Tons of selection and extremely helpful/friendly

This place is amazing. Customer service is top notch. The best place to buy, learn about fishing and tackle. I am a beginner about to buy my second rod and reel. Thank for all the advice. This is a must go and visit kind a shop.

It used to the only place that i would go to get fishing tackle but its not the same the price has went way up to much for me

It was great found everything I needed always do

Great selection of products. Whatever youre fishing for, theyve got the gear for it. Great repair shop for rods and reels too. Had 2 rods repaired and a reel cleaned up and put back into service after years of neglect. Sometimes they have closeout/clearance items that are flat out great deals.

Awesome Tackle Store. Was able to purchase a combo rod and reel with tackle box with lures every thing my boy needs to go fishing 🐟 Wow factor they shipped it to Maryland for his birthday. Very Thankful for all there help

Best place to get fish and tackle supplies. They have a very friendly staff that will help you with whatever you need. They do great work on rods. Fair prices.

Very friendly staff. Very affordable prices.

The young people staffing this shop show great real respect for customers and the environment, And they seem to know where every little thing is -- and the show pride in how much they know about each little thing. Theyre honesty in talking about how the bytes not on right now, instead of trying to push something that just wont-work was refreshing. I had an islet replaced on my fishing rod, and I was able to pick up a used rod and a good price. From a respectable array of build your own supplies, and brand names, to customized rods, this place has the equipment to get you on the water. As I was looking through the isles, while a bit higher than my yard sale prices, they have in stock every lure Ive ever seen catch a fish. While parkings a challenge, and the storefront is not waterfront, this is a respectable this shop, staffed with people who are knowledgeable and respectable. Its the place for guides and working fishermen, as well as the more dedicated sportsman. I think they should have their own YouTube channel, or ticktock, or something. If youre serious about fishing, its worth the trip across the bridge. What I didnt mention was the display cases full of used reels at reasonable prices, and they also have racks and racks of ready to go fishing rods, and rod reel combos. Buy something new, and pick up the thread or let them fill the spool.

Legit tackle shop with people that know what theyre talking about. If youre concerned about a candy stand or paid for stuffed animals go somewhere else

Honestly if I lived in Tampa Id go there a lot more. They have a good selection of everything. Friendly staff and great service.

This is a classic fishing store in Tampa. Always a great selection and prices on all their stuff

Great store. These guys should look into selling castnets from wholesale castnets too! One of the only products I have used that they arent having in stock.

Great price, great products and helpful staff...

Great place to get all types of fishing gear. Prices are good and even better when there is a sale happening. They have an award point program on all purchases if youre a member. Also they support the active and retired military with a discount. I always support small businesses that support our troops!

Still an awesome place with good customer service

Definately one of the best spots to hit up for your fishing gear

Great prices friendly folks

They best place to buy all your title things from broad reels repair fix reticle rescreened I always go there

Amazing selection for the amount of space they have! Good stuff too, no junk really. Lots of good deals marked down 40% when I walked in. Very helpful but nobody bugging you making you feel like its not ok to just look around either. Its a long drive for me but Ill still go back from time to time just because I like it better than any other shop Ive been to in all of the St Pete area.

I dropped my fishing rod off to get some of the guides replaced the gentleman that did the repair took extra time in matching the guides and also the string. I really appreciate how fast the turnaround was so I could take my son fishing I will be bringing in all of my rods and reels from now on to get serviced or repaired thank you so much

Super helpful staff. Huge selection...new and used gear available. Recommend stopping by.

Great place great prices great people !!!!

Havent owned tackle in years Scanio and family all treated me very good.

Excellent place.

Came to return a defective tackle bag my girlfriend purchased for me as a Valentines day gift, I was greeted immediately by the gentleman with glasses who asked what brought me in today.. I let him know that the plastic strap was missing. He proceeded to check out the bag and said lets get you a new one! We went over to the selection of bags and he pulled out a new one completely intact. I shook his hand and he let me know how much he appreciated my business and I went on my way!! Fantastic customer service by this gentleman.

Bought my Stellar Lite rod here a while back and brought it in for repair as the top 2 eyelet needed replacing, got it back and the drunk that fixes the rods messed up the epoxy mixture around the guide (its still sticky 2 weeks later) and the top guide was off center. Before we could even go fishing, while trying to put on a new hook, the the rod snapped just above one of the guides that was improperly fixed-- there was no heavy tension on the rod that would have made that happen. So, I brought my rod back in in an attempt to have it replaced as Star Rods has a lifetime warranty. I spoke with two of the younger employees, they confirmed that the epoxy was mixed incorrectly and laughed about the poor job that was done by Gary. They called the owner to the front as they were not allowed to do the return, I waited for over 15 minutes and then the owner, Mike, was unhelpful and tried to place the blame on me & my husband for the rod snapping. He questioned how the line was fed through and then proceeded to teach me something on how to put the line through to put on a new hook. I am not an idiot, but that is how I was treated. The warranty that Star Rods offers is the reason I bought this rod. Ive seen these rods replaced with no hassle numerous times at other stores for reasons like breaking because theve been closed in car doors.... BUT that is not what happened with my rod. Instead of Mike providing good customer service and just replacing it under the warranty, he placed the blame on me and wouldnt replace the rod. Seems to me he just didnt want to take a chance on whether or not Star Rods would cover it under warranty. My husband and I have shopped here for years and years and have spent thousands of dollars here, we love to be able to shop local, but this is unacceptable repair service and absolutely unacceptable customer service. Whatever happened to the nice lady that worked the front? We will not be back, you have lost our business and we will spread the word regarding the shoddy work being done by the alcoholic in the repair shop as well as the terrible customer service being provided by the owner. Thankfully, we have Bass Pro!

Excellent service, especially in the repair department. Need a reel serviced or rod repaired this is the place.

Love this place. Always have everything I need for the right price.

First time visiting store. They have everything you could want. Cool store, cool people. Will definitely be back soon.

My wedding registry will be here

I was with my son Daddys D .everyone was so nice and have super prices..God bless the store.

Cant say enough about this fabulous spot. You have to come and check it out. Its AMAZING

Great, was there yesterday & the gentleman in the back that fixes the fishing rods was very helpful to my friend...I went back today just to see him & he fixed my rods & was honest about the rest of them....This place really have everything you need to reel in any type of fish new or used rods/reels....wish I knew about this place earlier

Very helpful staff. I enjoyed my visit. The prices were good store was well managed. I would recommend going there to buy fishing gear. Staff knows fishing not clerks.

A while back I had an issue with this store and felt slighted. I’d like to take the chance and let people now that this place is a good place to go to for fishing supplies and repairs. The staff are knowledgeable and ready to help. I recommend southeastern fishing to people on a daily basis. Not only are they a great company to make purchases from they give back to the community in several ways. Through drives and through a program they have for children. I really like this company.

Best place for information! Will continue shopping here

They have everything your looking for nice staff friendly

Best place to have rods and reels repaired thanks Gary

Amazing! Recommended! We have an obligation to honor small businesses!

Awesome person who helped me with information on shark fishingSincerelyKevin Wall

“So many tackle so little time”. 😳. Prices are reasonable. Got a great deal tuf boat boots. Just spent time there drooling at all the goodies. Felt like a candy store but all fishing candies. Good luck and don’t tell your partner you spent $$$$ money. It’s for her! Yeah.

Best place to have your stuff repaired. Gary is an old salt who is no nonsense and knows his stuff. Their pricing is excellent and their turn around is pretty quick. I have had several reels and rods repaired by them and its always been a great experience.

Solid tackle store with a good selection including used and vintage rods and reels. Rod building materials, full reel servicing and rod repair. Friendly staff.

They have everything!

Large variety of equipment and very helpful associates. They helped me price out some new eyes for a rod Im trying to fix up and even helped me find a few other things I was looking for too. Theyre also very reasonable when selling different fishing gear.

This is a good place to go ahead and work with the fishing lies

This is the best tackle store in Tampa, great prices, huge variety, nice helpful employees. They have both new and used equipment, rod and reel repairs, equipment for both freshwater and salt water, frozen bait, clothing, shoes hats, sunglasses. Everything you could need to have a successful outing.

Went here today to get started saltwater fishing with little knowledge since I only have been freshwater fishing and they took the time to recommend a saltwater rod and reel setup, line hooks and bait. Great customer service and I would recommend to anyone out there!

Great selection, excellent customer service and hubby loves the reel he purchase.

Everything u need to get that fish u want lol very helpful clean area good deals
