Pokey's Tackle Shop
A long-running, locally owned Regina tackle shop known for a deep jig and lure selection, electronics and boat rigging, and helpful advice; a minority find the owners brusque.
What visitors say
Pokey's Tackle Shop is a family-owned fishing store in Regina that has been serving local anglers for decades. It carries a large range of jigs, lures, soft plastics, rods, reels, live bait and ice fishing gear, and a strong majority of its nearly 200 reviews are positive.
Selection is the headline. Regulars say the shop stocks colours and patterns other stores don't, plus parts for building your own tackle and spare parts for ice shelters and augers. Anglers from Alberta and Ontario have ordered hard-to-find lures online and had them shipped quickly. The shop also sells and installs electronics and trolling motors, and several reviewers say it's the best place in the city to have a boat rigged.
Many customers praise the staff for local knowledge, from what's biting on South Saskatchewan waters to setting up a child's first rod or a newcomer's first lake trip. Most reviewers find prices fair and often below the big-box stores, though one longtime customer said some items run noticeably higher.
The caveat is service consistency. A handful of reviews, including one from a recent longtime customer, describe the owners as curt or dismissive toward casual shoppers, and a couple of older reviews say the same. Most visitors don't report this, but if you're a casual angler, knowing what you want before you walk in may help.
