What's your favourite Tackle Shop in Ont.

[Grimace]

Yes, he passed away recently. Solid guy. His son is a good egg as well. Good people.

 

The only shop in Guelph I will go to.

What is that tackle shop in Guelph at the corner of Woolwich - the one near the big Canadian Tire? I looks like a shack from the road, but I pass it all the time for work and have vowed to stop in. Is that Kingsway?

[Grimace]

No that is First Choice. I would go to Kingsway. Kingsway is on Woodlawn just west of the Hanlon expressway. First choice is the one at Woodlawn and Woolwich. Go to Kingsway.

Angling Outfitters in Woodstock

Reminds me of a certain fly shop where I was getting grilled for buying live bait when I was taking my 6 year old nephew fishing (do you have a license, what are you fishing for, where are you fishing etc) - never been back and told more than a few people about it. This is the basics on how people gather a reputation.

 

 

 

I'm certain I know the store, if you are talking about one in Guelph. I personally haven't been back to Hook Line and Sinker / The First Cast Fly Shop in Guelph because of the elitist attitude of the owner there. I have been in on countless occasions and every time I attempt to ask a question I get the impression he thinks I'm an idiot who is wasting his time, not a customer and fellow angler who is interested in learning more and buying product. The store is nicely laid out and very well stocked, though the prices aren't great. I would shop there, except I can't stand supporting someone who is as disrespectful and impatient as he is.

 

Kingsway is by far the best and to me the only option in Guelph for quality customer service.

You hit the nail right on the head.
