J Hara Store located in the Kaimuki Shopping Center next to Times Supermarket. Locally owned and operated. Wonderful selection of fishing supplies from rods and reels to tackle and a wide array of lures and frozen bait. They also have a great selection of hunting equipment, and outdoor equipment. Prices are very comparable to what's on the market. They're always available to help, give advice, or just share fish stories. read more

J Hara Store - Front entrance - Archery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Quick shout-out to Ben working in the firearms department. He was patient in the weeks leading up to me picking up my rifle. Answered my questions and guided me through the paper work. Even in person he was chill when I forgot my ID and had to come back 15 minutes later. Mahalo Ben for giving J Hara a great reputation! read more

I'm pretty new to fishing but braddah Hunter answered all my questions and was very helpful with recommendations! Prices were definitely affordable and will be coming back for my fishing gear 10/10 would recommend read more

Yellow low star reviews are correct. And here's another. Workers in the front only talking story like they are the best fisherman in the world . Not even a greeting. I mean it's only a small store. I thought the prices are a little on the higher side but I needed something. I left feeling like they don't care and I went to J&E and got my stuff. Much cheaper anyways. Maybe walk up to customers and ask if they need help. Maybe might make a sale and a new customer. Do better. Aloha read more

This tackle shops staff is knowledgeable and helpful. They know exactly what techniques to use and provided me with the proper fishing gear/tackle to make sure my fishing experience would be successful. Hunter went above and beyond to make sure I was on fish and knew what areas to fish. Best shop in Oahu if you are an experienced fisherman or a beginner. They will make sure you are ready to go out on the water. Hunter, thanks again bro! Tim C. read more

AWESOME!!! Great service, welcoming people, & great gear. Its always worth the drive to kaimuki.

The dude who helped me out was super knowledgeable and hooked me up with a really good set up that was within my price range. He also gave me some really good tips. Great store great staff. 11/10 read more

If you fish, then this is the place. Good supply of everything you need. Nice guys. Great service.

Not greeted when we walked in but still bought (2) snorkel masks that was $80 ish each and broke after 1 use. Never dropped it never snorkel in rough water never put too much pressure on these and both broke so easily! The plastic around mask just cracked out of no where just went took em off after the first use and went crack. Price is gurantee for the glass but the outside material junk. Not quality. My $5.99 ross snorkel went drop many many times user em many many years and still work till this very day. Receipt says "no return in this pandemic" should valid if you guys sell quality. Masks poorly made. Not recommend any masks from here. Thought i was investing into something better than ross or longs but turns out this is savers quality. read more

I haven't been to their original store on Hawaii Island but the Oahu store has a pretty wide selection of fishing, diving, and hunting gear. Being that they're in Kaimuki, sometimes they run out or low on stock, but they usually have a good range of popular items. From terminal tackle, to jigs to flashlights, even personal protection, and fly tying tools. I'm a light tackle fisherman, so I like their selection of micro jigs and fly gear. I like to describe their service as fair. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Not the best conversation all the time. But they're humans and have to deal with all kinds of people asking for "secret spots" or "best" gear setups. They even have frozen baits! read more

Always delighted with the customer service here at J Hara. I Come here every so often when in town to pick up a few fishing supplies I don't really need at the moment but know I'll need in the future when out fishing. Little convenient store downstairs next to times supermarket. Also they do sell tako (octopus) so feel free to ask the cashier on there price point per pound. read more

horrible customer service. while asking a question when nobody is in the store about specs on one of their reels (drag/capacity) that they had on sale, his friend came in to talk story and i was completely left hanging for 15 min without a single answer. went to brian's fishing supply instead with a much more helpful staff and picked up a new reel there. read more

I thought it would've been a small store but walled in and it's fully packed with awesome merchandise!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Come here for fishing supplies, hunting supplies, bb guns, pepper spray etc. Hard to find but once found, it is a gem!! read more

J Hara Store - Archery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

To the reviewer saying people leaving a 1-star review because the shop is not all cheery and nice. First of all, you should be nice to your customers that's called professionalism, it's not fake. Second, I thought Hawaii is known for Aloha, so where is it J Hara? Lastly, I called and ordered a rifle about two months ago and every time I call back and ask the status the manager says "oh, I don't know the status" Since you're an authorized dealer shouldn't you be able to contact the vendor and find out where the f my Rifle is? I honestly don't know how this shop gets such glowing reviews? Maybe it's from the "buddies" that don't require good service. I went in today to get a receipt for the refund of deposit on the rifle and then he tells me "do you still want the rile? they shipped it today" Well, thanks for letting me know the status after I canceled my order your customer service is really top-notch. No, I don't still want it because I already canceled the order and bought it from another shop. If you're already friends with this shop and don't mind being treated like sh*t then this store is for you. If you're a new potential customer I recommend going elsewhere (look up other stores on the island and there are a few) you can get some good customer service or at least decent customer service. I'm leaving you a 1-star review for your sh*tty customer service and complete incompetency read more

Not worth your time or ours. Two guys talking to each other appeared to be the only workers - completely disinterested in anything but their chat. Dirty, disorganized. Nope! read more

Went over to J Hara Store to stock up on some supplies. Being this my first trip to this store, I received help from Jay, who was very helpful. He helped me pick up fishing supplies like fishing poles, reels, lines, hooks etc... and he even told me the different uses of each product. There were some products that were not on the shelf , and asked Jay if they were in stock. Jay ended up checking in the back and restocking the shelf! Great customer service. Ended up talking stories about his experience fishing and hunting! Got everything I needed for my next fishing trip and will definitely be coming back to J Hara for any fishing needs. read more

J. Hara store is an amazing little store found in Kaimuki. It carries fishing, diving, and hunting needs. Bryce and the team are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are friendly and easy to speak to......excellent customer service. Hoyt, Bowtech, Elite are some of the compound bows they sell. Nikon, Leupold, Trophy Ridge, CBE are some other lines of sighting equipment you can find at this store. Ammo, rifles, handguns....and carrying cases are also sold not to mention all of their fishing poles, reels, and spears. Their prices are good too. I am glad to have a J. Hara store here on Oahu. J. Hara brings positive competition to your fishing, diving, and hunting needs. It allows the customers to choose. read more

J Hara Store - Thanks for the bag and cap J. Hara!!! - Archery Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The staff are very knowledgeable in what they are doing and are very friendly to anyone who comes into the store and it's always a good time there read more

Staff are straight shooters. Called ahead to see if they had a few rifles in stock and they did. Got in and out with something to add to my collection along with two bricks of .22 LR. All good in the neighborhood. FYI bring a hard case if you plan on buying a gun. It's the law since this business resides in a school district. read more

J restrung my bow after it exploded from an accidental dry fire. 10/10 service and he fixed it extremely fast.

They have good selection and great products. No one greeted me or asked if I needed help. I spent close to $200 surprisingly but I won't again. They are not friendly nor helpful. The person who helped me seemed grouchy read more

Jhara has a lot of items and has good quality tools but the customer service is horrible i went int to get a new knife and one of the workers seemed like it was a burden to pull out a knife for me to look at and when my girlfriend went in last week to get something of their add and he was very rude to her. Sometimes people are learning and don't know but when a stuck up shop like this treat customers like this makes them not want to do it at all. Rubbah read more

Went back to J Hara for some fishing tackle today and was incredibly disappointed with their customer service. They were condescending and dismissive when we asked questions. We ended spending a lot of money, said "Thank you" on the way out, they didn't say anything and turned their backs to us! I felt embarrassed after recommending this shop to my friends and will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Fishing...hunting...and purses? LOCATION: Kaimuki in the same shopping center as Longs/Times, on the ground floor by Korean Hibiscus. It's tucked away under the stairs and not visible from the parking lot. PARKING: free and not too bad depending on the day/time you go. SERVICE: Excellent. I'm pretty clueless at this store but they always help me find what I'm looking for. Things I've bought here: Frozen squid for bait, hooks, swivels, weights, grubs, lures, tackle box, and today I bought a spool of fishing line and they wound it using that machine onto a new reel my son just got. They also sell knives, guns, rifles, and ammo which freaks my kids out so I try not to bring them with me when I shop here. Today I even saw a neat collection of purses...so the guys can say they were shopping for their wives/gf when they were at JHara. Brilliant. read more

I went in expecting to spend quite a few C-notes. The salesperson was dismissive. Left me with a junk feeling. I work way too hard for my money to be dismissed. So I left. Very disappointing. read more

Review solely based on customer service. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Went for some hooks and swivels to pick up for my boyfriend since I was in the area. The door makes a sound when you open it so the staff know there's someone coming but not 1 person looked up, said "Hi" or any kind of acknowledgement. There were 3 other people in the shop at the time but both clerks were behind the counters. I went through 3 isles before finding what I needed and spent a total of 15 minutes looking at what else they had. No one came to check on me or asked if I needed help, nor the other people that were in the shop. When I went to check out, 1 clerk was in the back and the other was at a different counter. So I went to the other clerk and he tells me "oh, you have to pay for your things over there" and points to where I just was. I waited for about 2 minutes before the clerk came out from the back area. He didn't even look at me or say anything, just rang my stuff up and gave me my receipt. No "Thank you" or anything. I only bought my stuff because I was in the area. It's not hard to say "Hello" and "thank you" at the least, do they not care about what kind of image they're portraying on the company? Management or the owner needs to retrain their staff. I'll make the drive and stick to Charley's Fishing - the service is soooo much better! read more

This review is for the ammo. It was really expensive. 7mm Remington magnum was $71.00 and some change for 20 rounds. Damn! Seriously! The CCI .22 was $10.00 for 100 rounds. They don't sell it by the brick so pretty much $50.00 if you bought five packs which you could find cheaper by the brick if you looked around and acted on it quickly. I believe the .223 was $26.00 for 20 rounds. I think it's cheaper to buy this in bulk which they don't sell. On a good note the customer service was very good. They were very friendly and very helpful. If your into fishing they have a nice setup of Penn reels too and a small selection of poles. They have a freezer with frozen bait too to the left when you enter the store. I would recommend this store to anyone into archery, fishing, knives and ammo if you really really need it. read more

Seems like only da salty guys putting one star here cause da guys at da shop not all smiles, which is such a weird thing to knock points down on. I personally find it weird when workers give me fake greetings and empty thank yous. i mean the reviewers aren't wrong in that some of the guys aren't like super cheery and bubbly to talk to with smiles on, but ah, idk, it never really bothered me. Plus, if they walk in without a smile, can't really expect workers to try make idle smiles for you either lol. Plus most fishing people i meet aren't social butterflies anyways, only guys i hear talking choke is either da drunk uncle, or the guy that usually catches nothing, but wants to tell you over and over about dat one ulua that hit or da one oio, and in every case the weight is double than it actually was(we all met dat guy before) I've never had a problem buying anything. Had pricing error before, came in with receipt they fixed it right up no questions asked. they don't try to up sell me on anything either, they don't question gear choice either. fishing really is kind of hard for the "Right answer" so if you're going in to test the fishing guys on knowledge, that's sort of a hard thing to do. I mean unless they say, you gotta yank the line when using circle hooks, okay yeah, total fail, or they tell you to make your lead line stronger than your main line. None of that kine advice was ever given though lol. Or people get all kinds preference for grub colors, and fire/glo bead set ups, all that is based on what worked for you and your spot/weather/time of day, all anyone can do is suggest what worked for them and what others shared. these guys may not have a large store but they have good selection, at least for shore casters. read more

Hiding in a corner in the heart of Kaimuki is this gem of a sporting store. You fish, hunt, target shoot or just enjoy the outdoors you have to check this place out. You can grab a broke your mouth Korean plate next door and grab a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread from the Times a few store down after getting your hooks , lures and bullets. read more

Great inventory of pocket style knives. Great service by knowledgeable staff! Good amount of parking in front of Longs or Foodland. This place is a little hard to find as it is downstairs in a back corner from all the other stores. read more

I love this store. They guys are very helpful knowledgeable in everything from shoreline, blue water fishing to bow and rifle hunting. Great crew and prices are good. I blew my bow up twice in 1 week and James put it back together just in time for my hunt. Very happy customer read more

These guys know there stuff. Just give them a call if you have any questions regarding pretty much anything. Fishing, hunting, guns, ammo they have it all and with reasonable prices. If your interested in purchasing a firearm they have a website that you can order through, they are a retailer for Gallery of Guns. Keep an eye out for there sale ads, ammo prices get really good. read more

Came here because we've been to the original J Hara store on the big island a lot and wanted to check out the one here on Oahu. First of all it's below the Kaimuki Longs. You can't really unless popping out at. There lots of parking and seems small from the outside but they are actually bigger then they look. They pack a lot of items into their store, just like the one in the Big Island. They carry everything you need for light and heavy fishing, crabbing, and hunting. Their prices are competitive with other fishing supply store. read more

This place has good prices and availability on plugs, skirts, hooks, reels. Prices are very fair to. They have the biggest selection of damashi I've seen so far on island and prices are good. Only thing dont expect to much help. I go there kind of often and still, there is a short stubby Asian guy that always just says YES when u ask him a question. Good way to sale things but not good if it isn't good information. I've been fishing my whole life so couple times I ask a question I know the answer to just to hear his response and most times he's wrong. And not very friendly. Hard to get him to have a smile on. But besides not getting good help the store is one of the tops on island. read more

Ive been looking for dive gear and practical advice on what's best for me and these guys gave me exactly what I was looking for in a shop. They have a huge inventory of great stuff for such a new shop. They weren't trying to tell me the expensive stuff is going to be the best and explained the ups and downs of all the products I looked it. I got some simple stuff today but I know I'll be back when I'm looking for any dive fishing or hunting gear. read more
