Tackle Express

Do you do gift cards?

Yes, we do have gift cards. We can make them in any amount you'd like.

Do they have the shovel tool that helps get sand crabs out of the sand?

Yes, we have those. It's called a sand crab rake but it doesn't resemble a rake too much. It has a U shaped handle with a mesh scoop. You simply drag the rake through the water on top of the sand. If there are sand crabs there, you'll get them.

Do they sell frozen squid / anchovies etc...?

Yes we sure do. We have frozen squid, anchovies, sardines, and mackerel. They come in 1lb bags and cost from $3.99 to 5.99.

My review is about ALL the branches in California not one specific store and trust me if a good…read moredeal is offered on consignment I will drive. As with any retailer some locations are better than others but apparently corporate is stupid! I have purchased from Bakersfield South. I am a Retired Police Officer. LEOSA, HR 218, California CCW. There are certain things I am exempt from with the main one being California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 36021, active and retired peace officers are legally exempt from California's 11% firearm and ammunition excise tax. 36021(a) explicitly exempts retail sales of firearms, firearm precursor parts, and ammunition made to any active or retired peace officer. They just have to complete a form. I have gone into three locations only to argue with Managers and forcibly take my documents back. Could it get more fun? YOU BET IT CAN! Sales tax is NOT Standard in California depending on the City involved. (Pasadena 10.5, Reseda 9.75, Bakersfield 8.25) Not huge UNLESS you are charged the California Excise tax as well. Add 11% a $1000 firearm can set you back $1300 before you get out the door. Add Ammunition, ANOTHER 11% its per sale and separate items per California. If still with me, You Rock. Ruger stopped making a firearm I wanted!! Once the old, new factory was back on line there it was BUT not California compliant. (Ruger does not make State Compliant Firearms. They SHIP with compliant magazines but sillyness like fin grips is up to the reseller or their third party to furnish) Big whoop. On sale, Californication compliant, stupid fin grip but it may be two more years to come back. "ADD TO CART" Oh gee, excise tax is automatic so I called On Line sales support. TIM ROCKS!!!! The guy had no idea about any of what I have mentioned like most of their employees. (Excise tax, different sales tax rates in the same State and COUNTY.) The excise tax is $100 and may take months to be refunded because the purchase went through corporate not a branch. Turners needs better District Managers that know more than how to pull a trigger or sell something G Day All

Top-Notch Fishing Shop - A Local Gem with Great Value Whether you're a local fisherman or just passing through, this is hands down the best fishing shop in town. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, always ready to offer helpful advice and recommendations no matter your skill level. The store is fully stocked with a wide range of tackle and gear to cover all types of fishing--lake, river, or ocean. Whatever you're looking for, they've got it. What really sets this place apart is the unbeatable value. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the products and the expert guidance you get with every visit. It's clear they care more about helping fellow anglers than just making a sale. The shop also has an awesome local vibe, with walls covered in photos of proud catches from the community. It adds a personal, welcoming touch that makes you want to keep coming back. Whether you're from the area or visiting, make sure to stop here for all your fishing needs. Great gear, great service, and great value--this place has it all. read more

I had an outstanding experience at Tackle Express. Their service was truly top-notch, and their assistance in selecting the ideal trout rod and reel was invaluable. The store offers an impressive variety of fishing-related equipment. The expertise and level of customer service I received were truly unparalleled. Notably, all of their pricing was reasonable across the board. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Harry, whose energy and enthusiasm in assisting customers were remarkable. I am genuinely delighted with my purchase and wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to fellow anglers. In my opinion, Tackle Express deserves a resounding five-star rating. read more

I have a receipt confirming this retail location fulfilled and shipped my order. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had with any retailer. Shipping was extremely slow, and communication was both inaccurate and dismissive. When tracking failed to update, I reached out for clarification and received curt responses that provided no real assistance. I was told the package had been picked up days before it ever received an acceptance scan -- which was simply not true. This misinformation created unnecessary confusion and made it clear no one was actually verifying the status before responding. The lack of transparency and accountability was frustrating enough, but the overall process made it feel like customer concerns were treated as an inconvenience rather than a priority. Between the delays, inaccurate updates, and poor support, the experience did not justify the cost or the time spent trying to get basic information. There are numerous Byrna dealers who ship faster and communicate professionally. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise purchasing elsewhere.

Instead of understanding that, I was treated like an inconvenience for simply trying on a product. After that interaction, I won't be returning.
