Does anyone know of a store in road Town that sells fishing gear? Like rods, reels?
Thanks

There was one right by Village Cay, towards the cruise ship dock, I think Administrative Drive. It was in a rounded building. Also another one on Waterfront, near Pebbles Hospital.
Not sure if either one is still open?

Marine Depot is the one next to Village Cay and Richardson's Rigging is on Waterfront Drive just west of the ferry dock.

Richardson has even fixed one of my reels. He has a a very good selection of lures as well. He even carries rigged ballyhoo. He also tuned my rigging, very nice man.

Drake's Traders (an Ace Hardware store) in Fish Bay has a small fishing tackle section. They have complete rigs at fairly reasonable prices.

Funny fish tackle story. Years ago when we were based at East End I needed some steel leader. I went to our local department store (the one selling heavy blankets). They had leader, but no price. The clerk had no clue on price, I didn't care price, I had guest arriving that wanted to fish. I said I will give you $20 for the 2 you have. She refused to take my money as it might be less or it might be more, the discussion lasted too long and I lost....So I left with no steel leader and we adapted by buying pre rigged Ballyhoo from Marina Cay. The pre rigged ballyhoo was a great way to feed the fish and not catch anything.
