Joy Fishing Tackle

I recently went on a fishing trip with friends and was a bit nervous because I had never been fishing before. I did a lot of research online and watched a lot of tutorials and eventually bought a cheap rod on Amazon. However, I didn’t have any line, bait or tackle. I did a bit more research about what I needed and then decided to visit Joy.
I told a young man there (I believe he’s the son of the owner) what I was fishing for and that I had no clue what I was doing and he patiently and expertly walked me through the entire process. Everything he said was exactly the things I had learned and he never once tried to take advantage of my inexperience. I even showed him my cheap rod from Amazon and he said it was perfectly fine and put line on the reel.
He was such a good guy, had he told me it was no good, I would’ve probably bought one from his shop and told him as much. Their prices are competitive with Amazon and they run a very clean and courteous shop. I had a fantastic experience at Joy and will definitely be returning/​recommending Joy to others.

Glad to have a tackle shop close to work in Downtown with a large selection of freshwater and saltwater gear. There is parking located in the back of the store, so you wouldn’t have to deal with parking meters. The lady (sorry if I forgot the name) has always been very helpful and welcoming and has excellent advice on what to use!

I really like this place. I try to patronize small mom n pop shops like this whenever I can. Sure — their prices can’t match Walmart, but their service is obviously so much better, and their knowledge of fishing is really, really good.
One of the very few places that carry European Nightcrawlers. These aren’t the typical Canadian Nighcrawlers. They’re more like Red Wrigglers on steroids, and much hardier.

The owners are very attentive and KNOW what they are doing. These guys are experts. They are also very affordable-​less expensive than WALMART and they are a locally owned business! I be making this my spot for all of my fishing supply needs!

You can’t find a more personable place! I have a huge dog and they love him. Water him give him treats and lots of love.
They are SO HELPFUL, Always have EVERYTHING YOU WANT. All the tackle and gear you want

Workers know what they’re talking about. Bunch of legitimate items in stock and great customer service. They also had a website where we can search up nearby piers and stuff. They explain for a while about different items for fishing I wanted to go to, and I had great time :)

Haven’t been here for a while but they have the best service for custom fishing poles.

Great service. I just started fishing, so I have tons of questions Staff is always courteous and very knowledgeable and answer every single questions I have every time. Good selection also. Big thumbs up,

Came here on my dad’s orders to buy fish bait for a father’s day fishing trip. I don’t have a clue about fishing in general and just asked the owners if they had the specific fish bait my dad was looking for. They did, and recommended I buy four bags for a three people trip. Cost me around $ 30.
I told my dad afterwards about the amount of bags I bought, and he said I only needed to buy two… Sure enough, my dad only used half of the fish bait I bought.

Not many choices in this area when it comes to fishing tackle and gear. But even with the limited choices in tackle shops in LA, Joy offers a good selection at fair prices. He has everything you would need for fishing our locals waters, whether salt or fresh and always provides good advice for tackle selection and bait depending on the fishing you plan to do. He also had bulk spools of line, if you just need to respool your reels instead of buying a whole spool. Custom rod wrapping services as well.

Can you get it for cheaper online? Of course you can! But this tackle shop is a well stocked, family-​run operation that really does want your business. So i don’t mind paying the extra to get to see things in my hands before I buy it and for the friendly service.
One-​star off because even though they are well stocked with a grand variety of tackle — a few of the specific hook options (popular options, and it’s the beginning of saltwater season) and a mechanical scale i was looking for were not in stock.

I usually don’t write reviews… But it’s either really bad or it’s really good… And this place is great! Only reason I gave them 5* is cause that’s the most they would let me go… Or I would’ve gave more…
Second time I came here, and I didn’t buy anything the first time… But they were still really friendly and helpful… That was the reason that brought me back here… Then the second time I bought my first badminton racket… A Yonex Z-​Force II with the 98 string they recommended… And tried it yesterday and i loved itl…
Not sure if I got a good deal… But of course all stores says the same old «I give u a good deal» LOL but with their customer service it was all worth it… And all though their kinda far from where I live… I’ll definitely be back again to pick up another back up racket and bag
Thanks guys!!!

Joy’s shop is one of the most well stocked tackle shops out there. They are very nice people and their prices are fair. Joy’s is fairly close to my house and i always pop inside to keep my gear refreshed before i go out fishing. I also think its great that they have their own line of hooks swivels etc. Manny times ive been inside gathering a bunch of stuff and Mrs. Joy has noticed my hands getting full and she always brings me a basket. If you are a plain old newbie just tell them where ur gonna go fishing and for what and they will help you out. I also like that they have really high end lures like lucky crafts and shimano bfly jigs.

This is my husband’s go to shop for fishing gear. Being an avid angler he is always shopping for new stuff. This tackle shop is amazing in pricing and customer service.
Kamsamnida!

I am an amateur angler and decided to buy some supplies at Joys. I agree with the positive reviews about Joy’s. The store is well stocked and the employees are friendly. Prices are decent and you will find anything you need here. If you are looking for some low-​end equipment I recommend Big 5 Sport. Specialty stores like Joy cater to people who are serious anglers. If you are an amateur, get some low end gear at Walmart and Big 5. You will save some money. Most of the rods and reels sold at Joys are better quality but also more expensive. Do your homework and find out what you need for the kind of fishing you will be doing. Hey! go to Joy’s and ask some questions. You may decided if you like them based on how helpful they are.

This guys are very friendly and prices u cant beat. Definitely will go back here for more gears.

Its a great Local Fish and Tackle Shop!
I prefer coming here versus big 5 or sports chalet.
They are kind courteous and very friendly family run.
They even have badminton equiptment. Best fish and tackle shop in Ktown.

Lots of variety and very friendly!

The best! Friendly and helpful with great prices. I love the staff and you will too.

Joys tackle is a WELL STOCKED tackle store. If you’re in LA/​ktown area and you need terminal tackle, go to Joys tackle.
