A well-stocked London, ON fishing store with a big range of rods, reels, lures, fly tying materials and live bait, knowledgeable staff and fast online shipping, though checkout can be slow when busy.
Angling Sports is a large fishing store in London, Ontario, and it's one of the best-rated in the region, with most of its 646 ratings at five stars. Customers drive in from Kitchener and further, and plenty more order online.
Selection is broad. Reviewers mention rods, reels, lures, live bait, outdoor clothing and licences, plus JDM tackle and an unusually large supply of lure-making and fly tying materials such as feathers and furs. Staff are described as real anglers who know their gear, and a new fly angler who got set up with a combo, flies and leader was even given a quick casting lesson at the counter.
The online side gets strong praise. Out-of-town buyers report good prices, free shipping and orders arriving in the Toronto area the next day, with staff calling to offer alternatives when an item was out of stock. It suits everyone from kids getting their first rod to serious bass and topwater anglers.
The main complaints are about waiting. One reviewer spent 20 minutes in a short checkout line, and a recent visitor gave up after staff kept leaving to help other customers mid-conversation. Weekends are likely busiest, so allow time or order ahead for pickup.
