Metro Fishing Shops
Submitted by Craig Pearse on Sun, 2009-06-14 17:08
I went down to Perth last week on our yearly trip down to see the family. In my spare time I went to 2 Big name tackle shops,
only to find that the price of everything was between $20-40 more than up here in Karratha.The price didnt really bother
me I just thought that been metro the price of things would be abit more lower.In the end I didnt buy anything till I got
back home (spending local is a good thing I supose)

Totally agree
But note there is some competition up here with Adventure Sports (that between the 2 stores has more tackle than a warehouse) and Just Tackle.
If you plan a trip to K city and North dont buy in Perth. Adam and crew (Adv Sports) and esp Mark and Skinny (Just tackle, and they know their stuff fishing as much as they can. Skinny even featured in a fishing mag much to his embaz) will look after you. I think its the volume of sales but they arent off the price. Unlike everything else up here so dont ask for any other type of service or you will receive it at oil rig prices and Fiji time.
Support these guys on your northern adventures.
PS nothing to do with either, just spend tackle money.
