Crazy Fishing Tackle
A small, packed Toronto tackle shop known for friendly, patient help for beginners and prices that match or beat the big-box stores. A few customers have found the service curt.
What visitors say
Crazy Fishing Tackle is a compact shop crammed with gear, and several visitors say the selection is surprisingly wide for the space. Regulars mention rods, reels, finesse jig heads and worms, though one customer was told the shop doesn't carry other live bait.
Most reviewers describe the owners and staff as friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Beginners in particular say staff took time to explain techniques, recommended a sensible first setup without overselling, and sometimes rigged the rod for them. One angler got the exact replacement reel screw he needed the day before a trip.
Prices come up often, with customers saying they're as good as or better than online or big-box options, and some mention discounts. It's a good fit for newcomers setting up for the first time and for local anglers who want to support a small business.
A handful of negative reviews describe a staff member losing patience when asked to show several reels or answer spec questions. It's a small store, so visit at a quiet time if you want a long chat about gear.
