A well-known Richmond, BC tackle shop for salt and freshwater fishing, praised for expert staff advice and fast local delivery, though several recent reviews report billing and online order problems.
Berry's Bait & Tackle in Richmond is a go-to shop for anglers in the Lower Mainland, covering both saltwater and freshwater fishing in BC. About three-quarters of its 404 ratings are five stars.
Staff knowledge is the big draw. Recent shoppers describe staff taking time to explain salmon setups, bait and local tips, and helping complete beginners put together a basic kit. One angler found slow pitch jigging rods and jigs that are hard to find anywhere in Canada, along with a lesson on the technique. Another ordered a downrigger part and got a call to confirm it would actually fix the problem.
The shop suits everyone from first-timers to experienced salmon and steelhead anglers, and reviewers say staff will order in what's not on the shelf. One customer had an online order delivered the next day.
The complaints are recent and worth noting. One shopper caught items rung through at the wrong quantities at the till, and two online customers had missing items, a rod and a pair of boots, that took weeks without a resolution. Check your receipt before leaving, inspect small items like bead stops, and follow up by phone if an online order arrives incomplete.
