Purchased some replacement guides for my spinning rod here. The guy who had helped me out was very helpful and went out of his way to show me some useful tips and shortcuts, to repair my rod, without trying to gouge me on parts and tools or tyrying to talk down to me.
Kudos to your rod and repair specialist there. Fantastic service and tips. He didn’t make feel like a dumb-​ass.

Visiting Fisherman’s Warehouse was an excellent experience as I was watching as a buddy brought in a fishing reel that required repair. The staff was quick to attend to him and expert in explaining what was needed. The expected return of his repaired reel was established and fulfilled.
My second visit was met with very kind staff and the pick-​up of the repaired reel my buddy had brought during my first visit to the store.
In addition to the obvious fishing equipment and wide array of bait, the inventory of products and services here are substantial. As a hiking, backpacking and snorkeling enthusiast, I found topographic maps of the underwater terrain in regional lakes that are essential for the fun I enjoy most about fish— watching them carry on their life.
I cannot imagine any reason to need any other store or expert team for fishing or water-​related services and supplies. Fisherman’s Warehouse is excellent in every criterion.
My buddy’s reel is working flawlessly!

This place has almost everything. A true fisherman’s dream. I read a lot of reviews about bad customer service but my experience was pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful. Good location and easy parking makes this a 5 star store in my opinion.

Holy smokes. They have what I need and more. Lower end customer service but the braid and flouro prices are worth it. The fly selection is bad but the rest of the store could load a person to fish anywhere in CA.

I came in here looking for a crab trap for a family trip this weekend. I left feeling stupid and talked down to. The girl at the counter was friendly enough but the guy who helped me find what I needed made me uncomfortable. I may not have any idea what I’m looking for when I say «crab trap», but why not just be helpful and tell me what I need instead of being smug and off-​putting? It was almost like he was entertained by how little I knew.
The cherry on top was the guy standing in the doorway watching me as I put all my stuff in the back of my car (in the dark… which made it even more creepy), got in, and drove away. I have so many questions, what were you staring at? Why? It was almost like I wasn’t trusted or something? I don’t know. The whole experience was uncomfortable to say the least.
It seemed like they had a lot of stuff, but never ever again will I go back. I’ll find somewhere else to go if I ever need any supplies in the future.

Not good on customer service but the store is well stocked overall. Dropped off a reel to be repaired, didn’t hear from them for 6 weeks. Finally, they called said the reel was ready. Drove the hour there and found the reel was not fixed. They said the part was no longer available. For a Shimano Stradic!!! Oh well, I had also special ordered some lures but those had not arrived either after 6 weeks. (I called another store in Angels Camp same day, they called me 3 days later the lures were in.) Worst part, no one there seemed to care at all that my order had basically been ignored.

First time in and received horrible customer service. The short round Asian guy behind the counter was so rude I left the store knowing I’d never come back. Since I’m new to the area I googled another fishing store and found the Sportsman’s Warehouse, this place ruled. Within a week of my find of the Sportsman’s Warehouse I’ve spent about $ 1200 in rods and tackle. Good job on loosing this customer for life fisherman’s warehouse, I hope that you’re shit service will drive your business into the ground.

Came here to buy bait and was thoroughly excited to come here as I remember coming here as a kid with my dad when he was building his dream reel about 10 – 15 years ago. My enthusiasm subsided when I was given blunt, one word answers along with this rude cold shoulder-​ish demeanor when I was merely just asking if they had any bait and where could I find it. My gf felt it too, and it felt like they just wanted us to leave, or they just didn’t want to help us at all. To say the very least, I was very disappointed. I’m giving them two stars just because I can tell they have a lot of fishing gear and if you know what you want, you’ll prob find what you need here. Just don’t expect any help.

This store would be cool — looked like a good selection — but the customer service was terrible. It took forever to get helped — I had to ask 3 different people after waiting for a long while –and the guy we finally got was no help at all. Not friendly but probably a good place if you already know what you want.

Hands down the best fishing store in the area. If there is any fishing gear I need, I head directly to this store. The staff is not only knowledgeable on equipment, but they can also lead you in the right direction as to what is hot in the local lakes and rivers. If you are looking for a fishing store, look no further.

Atmosphere: Well lit and and well organized. There have been times I’ve needed help finding little things, but this place will well organized and stocked. The staff is always behind a counter and a couple roaming the aisles. Every single one of them friendly and willing to help.
Value: Due to their large inventory, it seems to keep the prices down. IMO, the prices are close to Walmart, but you get a better selection and better experience. They sell everything from plastics baits, to supplies to make your own plastics. A huge selection of lures of all sorts, including huge swim baits. They even have a fly fishing section where I’ve been able to pick up some flies and some leaders. There is also a wide variety of rods, reels (which is a huge counter), boat accessories, including trolling motors and fish finders. The prices and wide selection is a wonderful benefit.
Customer Service: All the employees are incredibly friendly and helpful. They will take their time and help you select the right reel or the right set up for the fishing you’re into. Whether you’re fishing for salmon, sturgeon, bass, trout, or crappie, they are incredibly knowledgeable to weigh the odds in your favor. They also offer classes depending on the season of species.
Other Services: If you need a rod fixed or replace, this shop can help. If you need a new reel or a real reconditioned/​rebuilt, these guys can help. Even a simple line spooling is offered.
The only drawback I have for them is that they don’t sell live bait or have early hours. That being said, that’s a lot to ask for any shop, so I won’t hold it against them. I give them a 4-​star rating, which is a great rating, as a 5-​star is for way out of the ordinary rating. I highly recommend this place.

This is as good as it gets in sac. Fishermans warehouse has been around for a long time for a reason. The staff is knowledgable and willing to help. Their prices are competitive with internet pricing.(You might save 10 – 15 bucks on the internet but if anything happens you’ll be paying at least that much to ship it back) If you happen to break your pole and it has a warranty you can bring it in for a swap without hassle and it usually costs about 15 bucks.
Competitive pricing, great customer service, and the largest selection tackle in sacramento without question. They also have fishing seminars often.

Very nice experience.
I came here mid-​week during my lunch break from work. After looking around a bit and being lost in the incredible selection, two of the experts in black golf shirts showed me where to find what I was looking for (stuff I couldn’t find anywhere online!) and advised me how to connect it all together for catching king salmon. Very helpful and friendly staff and amazing selection/​variety of lures & riggings. Prices are also very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back.

I’m not really into fishing, but my Father in Law is really into it.
I came in to get him a gift card and a gift for his birthday and I was really impressed with the level of service from the woman at the counter. She was very helpful in explaining what certain items were.
Pretty cool place!

Good folks and very helpful. Had repair parts when I needed them. Huge selection with all the tackle I will ever need.

First off, they do carry many products that other local tackle shops cannot afford to carry. With this being said, this allows them to be arrogant.
I try my best to support local businesses, therefore I go there twice a month and spend 20 – 40 bucks each time when I don’t spend enough for free shipping from Tacklewarehouse. Every time I go there, its the same ol thing. Walk in, no greeting even when the store is empty. Hard to flag down employees. It just gets old. However, I feel my money serves a purpose in supporting the local economy and that is why I still go back there.
In addition, if you aren’t one of the insiders, expect to be treated like a second-​class citizen.

I have been coming here for years. This is, in my opinion, the best fishing store there is in the Sacramento area. They have every thing you will ever want or need for fishing. I prefer to shop at family owned stores and not big corporate stores and places like this make it much easier.
I have purchased rods, reels, bait, hooks, line, and everything else here. I have had my rods and reels repaired and purchased parts to repair them myself. They will help you pick out gear if you are not sure of what is needed for what you doing. They have classes during the different fishing seasons put on by professional fisherman and charter boat companies to teach you how to catch different fish.
My 5 year old daughter loves coming here with me because they give her fake rubber worms and swim baits every time she comes. My wife is even comfortable in here when she buys me the one for sure gift I want every year for christmas, and that is my fishing license.
If you like to fish and/​or need gear, this is the place for you.

I am only giving this place one star because of two reasons: Unilocal makes me and the fact that they have a good selection of baits and lures in the sacramento area.
The service drives this place to the ground. While walking in the place was fairly busy and well staffed. Walking around looking like I didnt belong I had no one to come up to me if I needed help or if I was looking for something in particular. I happened to grab an associate and was talked down to like I was an idiot. So if you dont flash your knowledge of fishing be prepared to take snobby remarks.
I can keep bashing this place more but the rating says it all. I would much rather spend my money at a chain sports store or even walmart. I usually support local shops but this one leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Well this is a place that has just about everything you could possibly want when it comes to fishing. If you are used to buying the really cheap stuff at Walmart you might get sticker shock at some of the prices but most of what they carry is good quality and their prices are actually pretty good on that stuff. Lets face it for those of us who like to hunt and fish our hobby is not exactly a cheap one. For things like poles and reels I usually can not beat their prices online and I love that they almost always have what I want in stock. Always nice to be able to try it before you buy it too.
One of the best things about the store is almost everyone there is a fisherman and they can usually give you some good advice. They have seminars most Thursday nights. Most of the people working there are great to deal with but I have run into an employee who had an attitude but unfortunately you will find that at most any large sporting goods store. Too many people tend to think fishing is supposed to be a competitive sport and act like it.
In the end if you go fishing once a year Walmart is probably your best best but if you go all the time, like I do, then this is the place to be. For fishing I find it much easier and the prices better than the really big places like Bass Pro Shop and a much closer drive. The only reason this place does not get 5 stars from me was the earlier mentioned employee and that yesterday I walked in to the store to look around. I ended up spending almost $ 300 on two new reels and and fishing pole. The wife is going to kill me someday.
