Centerpin Angling®
A family-run Toronto tackle shop specialising in centerpin and float fishing gear for salmon, steelhead and trout, praised for patient, knowledgeable owners and fast shipping.
What visitors say
Centerpin Angling is a narrow storefront shop in Toronto that concentrates on float fishing: centerpin reels and rods, rod blanks, beads, drift rigs and terminal tackle for salmon, steelhead and trout. Visitors say the front of the store only hints at how much stock is in the back.
The family who run it get the most praise. Beginners describe being walked through how to fish for salmon, step by step, with gear chosen to suit their budget rather than the most expensive option. Customers also mention reel spooling and set-up help, and one received a free shirt during the shop's 20th anniversary.
The shop ships as well, and customers further afield, including one in the U.S. who uses its drift rigs exclusively, say orders arrive quickly. A parent phoning from London, England, was guided through buying a gift without being oversold. Prices are described as competitive.
There are very few negative reviews. It's a specialist shop, so it suits river and float anglers best rather than those after general tackle.
