What visitors say
JB's Fishing Depot is a local, independent tackle store in Toronto, and with more than 300 reviews it's well known among GTA anglers. Reviewers describe a store packed with rods, reels, lures, live worms and boat accessories, covering everything from bass and trout to musky.
Most customers praise the service. Staff and owners are described as friendly and knowledgeable about fishing around the GTA, and one visitor walked out with a free hat alongside good-value tackle. The shop also rigs boats and does installs. Prices are called competitive to average, depending on the item, and both cash and credit are accepted.
It has a neighbourhood feel, which one reviewer liked, though the same person noted the owners are often chatting with friends and you may need to speak up to get help. Parking is limited. The store can feel overwhelming because there's so much stock.
The rating includes a notable number of low scores, though the recent written reviews are positive. Go in knowing roughly what you need, and ask for help directly.
