A Belleville, ON tackle shop focused on Bay of Quinte walleye and musky, with a big lure selection, live bait and a friendly, knowledgeable owner who gives local tips.
What visitors say
Pro Tackle Fishing is an independent tackle shop in Belleville, on the Bay of Quinte. Its reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and many describe it as the go-to shop between Kingston and Toronto for walleye, musky and salmon gear.
Musky anglers in particular rave about the selection of baits, and the shop carries plenty of walleye lures proven in local waters, custom fall lures and a good range of Okuma gear. Reviewers mention live minnows at good prices, reel spooling and rod repairs. Several say the shop stocks items they couldn't find elsewhere, and one compared it to a smaller, local version of a big outdoor store.
The owner and staff get repeated praise for being friendly and generous with advice on where fish are active and what they're biting on, whether you're new to fishing or chasing trophy musky. One customer dealing with a problem from North Bay had it sorted over the phone, and another had a defective item replaced quickly with extras thrown in. The shop also supports local fishing events.
Complaints are few and mostly older. One customer had a warranty dispute over a rod years ago, and a couple of ice-season visitors found the store closed when they expected an early opening. Call ahead to confirm hours before a long drive, particularly in winter.
