Outstanding Customer Service -- Saved Christmas! I cannot say enough great things about Tomo's Tackle and their incredible customer service. We ordered a fishing rod for our son for Christmas--he's a teenager who absolutely loves fishing and spent weeks researching the exact rod he wanted. Unfortunately, the rod arrived damaged due to shipping, and we were heartbroken. From the moment I reached out, Tomo's Tackle was responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating. They immediately reviewed the photos, offered a full store credit, walked us through comparable options, and even went the extra mile to order the exact same rod from their supplier when it wasn't in stock--at no additional cost to us. They were patient, communicative, and genuinely cared about making things right. Thanks to their efforts, our son will still be getting the rod he worked so hard to pick out, and that truly meant the world to us. They didn't just fix a problem--they saved Christmas for a fishing-obsessed kid and a very grateful parent. If you're looking for a tackle shop that stands behind their products and treats customers like family, Tomo's Tackle is it. We will absolutely be repeat customers and happily recommend them to anyone. Thank you again, Tomo's Tackle! read more

Tomo's Tackle - Fishing Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Great selection of products. I live in California and the small brick and mortar shops are dwindling. Support small businesses whenever possible I always say. They give their honest opinions if asked and also have better products overall. It's refreshing to see that small businesses stand by their work. Great transaction. Awesome communication. Even better customer service. Will do business again. It's sometimes scary to order online. Will tell my family and friends who are getting more serious into fishing. Especially my family in CA, HI, and the west coast. Rest assured I've had great experience with this tackle shop. Will do business again. I'm thinking of upgrading my Conventional reels to something more hefty in the next year. Thank you read more

We were visiting from the west coast and stumbled upon this store while walking around Salem. My husband HAD to check it out. I do not pretend to know about bait and tackle shops. My husband is an avid fisherman and he stated that this store is very clean. Great location perfectly located next to the water. Well stocked with some high quality equipment. read more

The best specialty fishing store for my saltwater needs. Tomo's knowledge of Northeast inshore & offshore fishing is reflected in the premier product inventory. Quality service is the best but must allow realistic time during the season. read more

Not HAPPY AT ALL!! Spent nearly a1000 dollars in gear and had to wait nearly a MONTH!! Called Tomo himself and he stated to me that since I paid for upgrade service shipping time it takes LONGER !! Why??? Never really got an answer! Just a lot of pointing fingers at other people and more EXCUSES! So I asked Tomo himself AGAIN? You pay for your item to get her faster by paying and it to gets her slower ! I wasn't notified of this until today!!!' a month and half later they couldn't intercept my package! So I waited and waited! Called Tomo"s Tackle to try and figure out what was going wrong with my package and he never got a call back because he was too busy taking he's Captain license. So nothing was resolved" Finally got feed up after a month waiting for lures I planned on using for a vacation and said I wanted my money back!!! DON"T USE TOMO TACKLE EVER !!!!!! Unless you wanna be taken advantage of! Most horrible transaction I have EVER DONE! Aloha theo read more

They have lots of great fishing reels, fishing lures and bait. Andy V. read more

Tomo's Tackle - New Saltiga 8000-H - Fishing Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Tomo's Tackle - Yelp has it at the wrong location it's actually on Herbert st and derby st south - Fishing Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Friendly staff, with a great selection of quality brands. Will definitely be coming back to this gem of a tackle store.

AWESOME is too small a word. This place is great. Amazing Art, Terrific Tackle and Tomo. I'm a kayak fisher but NOT a very good one. However, on several occassion's Tomo has guided me and his advice has put me on fish; big fish! With Tomo I have landed some awesome fish and he has helped make me a better kayak fisher. He has advised me on soft plastics, live eels, tube and worm as well as how to catch macks with a sabiki rig (which he sells) and use those Macks to land a monster. He helped me flounder fish near Deer island and he has helped me catch Macks near Manchester. In addition to his kayak fishing prowess, he also has experience Tuna fishing and (acording to my Tuna fishing friends) he often can help them get them the best gear and advice to help them hook up with those monsters too. He always smiles, has fresh live bait, as well as the best tackle around. He special orders just about anything and he really wants to help his customers have fun on the water and get into the fish! Also, I can bring my wife (who loves art) and she looks at all the magnificient art, while I gain knowledge and tackle from Tomo. If you want to Tackle a Big Fish, you NEED to go see Tomo. In short: This place Rocks! I generally drive way out of my way to go here. Don't go anywhere else. Tomo is the MAN! read more

This small shop has everything you need from top level gear to something an average joe could fish with. Gyotaku prints are amazing as well. I would have loved to spend more time there. Friendly service. read more

Tomo's Tackle - Fishing Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

This was my first time using Tomo's but certainly not my last. I purchased a product online that came with a factory defect. Tomo contacted me immediately after I contacted them and he resolved the issue immediately. As a side note, I did 10 min worth of shopping for this product and I am convinced the price I paid was the lowest around. Excellent customer service!!!. read more

Tomo, is friendly, professional, and runs an extremely high end shop with top-of-the-line tackle and a meticulous and elegant store layout. Only problem is resisting the temptation to drop $100 on fancy lures when your initial intention was buying $5 of herring for the bass :-) read more

Great shop. High-end gear for striper, tuna, squid, etc. In addition they sell buckets of shark chum. Tomo is very willing to give you advice on when and where to fish. read more

WOOHOO !!! Tomo is' the Man !!! He knows what you need to catch fish !! Go, Listen and Buy !! Very Very Friendly !! Very Very Organized !! ( the art is nice, but nothing to do with Tomo ) Has what you need, and nothing you don't. read more

Tomo is dialed into the Salt Water Fishing scene and carries the most impressive collection of merchandise... Really a unique shop for pelagic fisherman, as well as those of us fishing from shore. Had to make a wish list for fear of emptying my kids 529 plan. Best part of our trip to Tomo's was him sharing a great spot with me and my two kids! We caught a BOATLOAD of macks right where he said we would, then we moved to the island (his suggestion also) and caught a dozen fish over 35". THANKS TOMO!!!! read more

Went to check out the place for squid jigs. Was greeted by the owner (i think it was Tomo?) Explained to me how to rig the jigs and how to fish them. Very nice store. Lots of selection. Prices are reasonable. read more

In a time where big box stores and their terrible employees are "experts" tell you what you want to buy and you can never find help when you need it, it's extremely refreshing to walk into a place like Tomos. 99% of the time the owner is there to answer your questions and help you with your saltwater fishing needs available at very competitive prices. Tomo is the big three you look for in a store; fair, honest and reliable. I highly recommend checking this place out. There's really only 1 small downside and that's parking but well worth it. read more

Good tackle and bait shop. Tomo is really helpful and usually knows where the fish are biting.

i love tomo's shop. he is friendly and knowledgable about local area fishing and what you need to get to be the most successful. fish prints are fun too. read more

Tomo's Tackle is not the little bait hut with just the basics and crotchety old salt that your dad and grandpa used to go to. It's the most modern and sleek bait and tackle shop I've ever been to. It's an experience just walking in there. You are greeted by some beautifully hand-crafted fishing-related art as you walk in, courtesy of Joe who runs the Fish Prints half of the shop space. it has the feel that you are literally walking through an artists studio, as the fish prints and other works of art are casually, but not carelessly, placed to give the place some intimacy. Then you come to Tomo's side of the shop, and everything is business. Display cases of top-of-the-line reels and gear, impeccably organized racks of tackle, a huge selection of the latest artificials... And the best part of it is Tomo really knows what he's doing and the items for sale are not a mixed bag or a random assortment you might find at a big sporting goods store or ordered by a less experienced tackle shop owner. Tomo know what is going to catch fish, knows what the guys who catch fish consistently use as their go-to gear, and will not B.S. you with unproven gimmicks. Tomo's a good guy with a lot of experience and know-how for a wide range of fishing types, and I really wish this shop the best. This store is devoted to the art of fish, and the art of catching fish, and is hands down the best tackle shop I've been to. Definitely worth a check -out. read more
