A large Hamilton fishing store with a gun shop upstairs, known for deep tackle selection, patient staff and fast, well-packed online orders.
What visitors say
Fishing World Outdoor Centre in Hamilton is primarily a fishing store, and reviewers say its tackle selection beats the big-box chains in the area. Upstairs there's a gun shop that sells shotguns and other firearms, and it has built a following of its own.
Staff get consistent praise. Online customers say orders are easy to track, shipping is often close to next-day, and packing is very well done. Exchanges and refunds are handled patiently. In the gun shop, first-time buyers describe staff walking them through the whole process of choosing and owning a first firearm, with a focus on safety, and one customer had problems with a new gun sorted out on the spot.
It suits anglers who want a wide range of gear and electronics such as fish finders, as well as new and experienced shooters. There's free on-site parking, and ordering online is an easy option if you can't get to the store.
Complaints are a small share of more than 700 reviews, and the recent ones on hand are positive. As with any busy store, call ahead if you're after a specific item.
