Decent selection. Very clean shop. Several of their items are $5-$10 more than other places (Walmart, Academy etc). I asked Rick about price matching and it was a hard no. Unfortunate because Id rather give them my money rather than big box.
Great customer service, very friendly, amazing prices and very clean and organized, staff goes above and beyond, easy to find what I need.
Had been reserching and shopping for 4 months for a fishing kayak. Have never used one, let alone fish with one. Am limited to how i could transport, as Im a full time RVer. Rick hooked me up. Rick did not try and sell me anything I didnt need. When i asked about other accessories for my new boat, he said save your money. He evan helped install racks and load boat an showed me best way to secure. Very professional and knowledgeable. He answered every question I asked, took his time, gave me a ton of information. Gave me a business card, offered any advise or answers to questions. Said just give him a call. His manager Jeff also was very helpful. The store is Immaculaty clean, with anything an everything you need to go fishing, highly recommend you check it out.
Super polite and friendly staff. Definitely knew what they were talking about. Taught me some things I don’t know. I will definitely be back soon. Had so many sections on lure color parts we that are not even available at the moment on the main websites. Super pleased considering everything fishing is out of stock at the moment. I live 15 min away and I would drive 45 min to get to their selection. This place will make you want to spend money. Be careful!
Awesome place for unique and quality tackle. Definitely will find what your looking for. Much to choose from.
Had a very good experience today at this location. Called yesterday and asked about ACC Crappie Stix, they run about $60 with tax on average. this is a pretty good deal because this place is one of the only places in the DFW that carries them in stock. Its good when you can call a place and they can look something up and tell you if they got it. This turned out to be a secret gem for all of the fishing enthusiasts out there. Now it is my spot to go to 👍👍
We were new to the area and my husband was full of questions. To me most of them sounded to me like, yada, yada, yada, fish. Then a blah, blah, lure, blah, yada, fish. Fortunately, for me there is a Mexican restaurant next door. But I digress, returning to the awesomeness of this tackle store. My husband says blah, blah, they are very knowledgeable about, blah, blah, yada, polite and helpful, and my hubbys one million questions never seemed to bother them. They seemed to enjoy teaching a new person to the area what he needed to do to be successful in catching blah, blah, fish!In all sincerity a great place to go if YOU NEED ANYTHING REGARDING FISHING.
Best place around ! The prices are good and they have a excellent selection of tackle ! The owners are awesome as well !
Always willing to help with questions about kayak modifications or if you need help with simple setups. Great customer service!
They have everything I was looking for and more, very helpful with the antique Rod&Reels that I have along with all the equipment I have for sale.
Had a great experience purchasing my first fishing kayak from Anglers Pro & Tackle. The owner was very helpful answering all of my questions and giving me helpful tips. I would recommend this shop to anyone new to kayaking.
GreT selection of baits, rods and reels among other outdoor products. Super friendly.
Great staff and they usually have what I’m looking for
First of all, I walked in to fishing equipment galore!!! Kid in a candy store status! Location is clean, organized, and perfect for the beginner to the expert angular. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I went in for a pole and came out with tips and suggestions to better my fishing experience. I’d recommend this location over a chain ANY DAY! They are there for the consumer. They even put line on my new reel!
Consumer ALERT- be 100% certain you want to keep your purchases at Angler Pro Tackle - they dont do returns to the method of payment and will only offer store credit. If I had known this, I would have purchased my products from a more customer centric business. 8/8/2020And to be fair, Rick is super knowledgeable about everything fishing - but he boasted about writing $40,000 checks to get kayaks to sell - and he sells hundreds a week. Amazed that he wasnt able to return a kayak that was used once, and has no damage. The kayak I purchased wasnt going to work for surf fishing. Made a mistake in purchase. Still, buyer beware - most retail companies would accommodate this return.Purchase date 7/31/2020. Well within normal retail industry 30 day return policy.
Great customer service and prices. Very happy with our kayak purchases!
Just moved here from East Texas and thought I found my go to fishing gear spot and an upgrade to my current kayak. But then an older gentlemen from behind the counter called me out about not having a mask on. Upon walking in I noticed no customers, no staff expect the woman behind the counter, and the older gentlemen had his mask hanging off his face so I figured I was safe. He called me out in front of staff and other customers; I obliged, but pointed out his staff didn’t even have masks on. Don’t call me out if you won’t even enforce rules on your own employees. I will give you one extra star because the inventory levels were on point.
Great place! Staff is so friendly and helpful, but willing to let you browse on your own if that’s what you’re there for. Excellent selection of quality kayaks, no pressure to buy until you’re ready. They know their products and can help you choose a boat that is ideal for the way you will use it. We were in town for a Rangers game, and went looking for a Hobie dealer to check out the new models. When we are ready to purchase, we will be back, even with the 3 hour drive to get there. In addition to the kayaks, they have an excellent selection of tackle, rods, and more.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Great inventory, even better staff
Great customer service! Awesome people that work here. Very Informative and helpful. Made my first kayak purchase and they were able to educate me on what I would need for the fishing I wanted to do. Rick and Jeff were very polite and answered all my noob questions. Competitive prices and a huge selection of fishing gear. Would reccomend 100% and will definitely be going back soon!
Very unique tackle and paddle sports store. Has received their new Hobie Kayaks dealership! I love this place. If youre looking for hard to find tackle, great prices, excellent selection, and amazing customer service go by and see them! They have every kind of lure, rod, reel, and fishing kayak you can imagine.
Very nice place. Owner was very helpful to me figuring out baitcasters. Lots to choose from. I will definitely be back another time for bait and with any questions I may have.
My experience with Anglers couldnt have gone better. Talked to Rick the owner on and off for 2 weeks and he never was annoyed. He really knew his stuff. I had to drive 5 hours to get our kayaks and he had them ready and waiting at his shop. I can really see my family shopping there in the future not just with kayaks but many other fishing needs. Thank you Anglers Pro & Tackle
Great tackle shop, wish I would have found earlier. Everything you need and more.
Rick and his crew..... Some of the most honest and stand up group of individuals I’ve met in the industry. Definitely the one stop shop for kayak fishers! Truly one of a kind! Highly recommend these guys to the fullest! I just found out about these guys from a guy from Florida....definitely a customer for life
I went in with a few basic questions and Rick was extremely helpful and patient with me. Very knowledgeable about his products. I will be returning again and again.
My 15 yr old son has recently discovered this shop around his birthday last month. They always have everything on his wishlist! When we drove away today, he told me hed love to be able to work here for his first job because everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable!!! (Fingers crossed they will have a part time position open in 2021!!)
Met Jeff and he was very helpful and friendly.Great selection of soft plastics and anything you may need to have a great fishing experience.
Great place found this place went in for a boat seat they didnt have but found it for me and told me where to get it went above and beyond great customer service will definitely be back
One of most respectably family owned businesses I have come across in my my time of kayaking. Very knowledgeable and respectable staff and wonderful people in general. I was doubting the 3-1/2 hour drive, but when I showed up to the store I was not let down. Got the Vibe sea ghost 130 and I had so many question, but each one was answered fairly to a point I could understand. Defienlty would make that drive again just to get some of my kayaking needs. Rick youre a good man and I appreciate all you did. 6 out 5 stars. Military friendly.
Great selection they carry all the latest and greatest fishing equipment, the staff is great took the time to answer all my questions
Went in to check the place out, because I heard a lot of good reviews. Spoke with the owner, who kindly invested plenty of time sharing his knowledge and expertise with me on my specific style of fishing.Its a smaller store with a good selection and the owner sealed the deal with his quality customer service.I will be back in the future, if nothing else, just for learning from the owner some great fish secrets.
The staff is always very helpful to meet my needs.
Great place for all fishing needs. Rick the owner was a great help and very knowledgeable and wise. Would recommend to anyone looking for new quality fishing gear or too just talk fishing.
Great environment and really great products! I love being able to go Anglers and find what im looking for(and more) instead of ordering it online. The staff is great too!
Oh man the staff is amazing! And for a small shop, you will be surprised the amount of tackle you can get! Well stocked! Found stuff bass pro shop only carries online-_- well worth the trip! Look forward to coming out to yall again (:
If I had 6 starts I would go for them. Rick took care of me. Bought a Kayak from them and will go back for all of my fishing needs. I am all about supporting the local shops and keeping the local knowledge. Rick will try his best to have competitive prices for you compare to the Web so when in doubt just talk to them and they will come through for you....
Service: 5 starsCleanliness: 5 starsAtmosphere: 5 starsPrice: 5 starsSelection: 5Great service, and helpful staff.Great stock of lures and the only local store with live bait.Frozen livers, worms, and more.Highly recommend both for supplies and as a way to learn more. The staff will talk to you and educate you.
After having a not-so-good experience here several months back when I took in a fishing pole Id broken the tip off of and getting a curt and rude reply, I decided to try them again to pick up some frozen shad. Never again! In my opinion, the older guy behind the counter is rude, lacks people-skills, and seems totally unappreciative for customers. No, No maam, Im sorry, were out....just I dont have any....I dont have ANY bait right now (after being prompted for any other frozen bait). From now on, Ill go out of my way where I know Ill get friendlier service!
Definitely the place to go if youre looking for specialty, hard-to-find baits and lures! The staff is awesome and I love that they stock locally-made gear. Make sure you set aside a good chunk of time to check everything out - youll be happy that you did!
Told me the local fisherman didnt like me and to get out of there store DO NOT SHOP HEAR!! Theres lots of better places
Told me the local fisherman didnt like me and to get out of there store DO NOT SHOP HEAR!! Theres lots of better places
Friendly helpful staff, great selection, and surprisingly great prices
I was looking foward to visiting this shop on a day trip with my dad! Unfortunately, despite the good selection and decent prices I doubt I will be returning. A man I asume to be the owner/manager followed me the entire time keeping an annoyingly close eye on me. The questions I did ask were answered short and to my disbelief wrong. Rounded the corner to find what I was looking for.....with that being said I know what he thought and what he was doing. Despite all that I still bought some stuff off the clearance rack (at a very good price). The comment at the end toped it off you sure did make a long trip for $6 dollars in bait
Ive been in a lot of tackle shops that casually sold kayaks. Ive been in the big box stores that sell below average kayaks. Then I came here. This is a awesome kayak store that also sells great lures that actually catch fish. Ive never seen so many quality kayaks and gear under one roof. The staff were helpful and fully engaged in their business. This is my goto kayak supplier from now on.
One of the best tackle shops I have been to. Some of the best customer service I have received and more selection that other outdoor stores like academy and Dicks. I saw other people leave bad reviews from people who have never been and just give bad reviews because they took a youtubers word for a situation that nobody knows what truly happened. I have been here twice and already will likely be the only tackle shop I will be going to for a while.
In the past I enjoyed visiting Anglers Pro Tackle. My baits were usually in stock and there was always something neat to look at. But things have changed.Recently my visits have been unpleasant. I have noticed the owner is always watching select customers. He puts off an uneasy and unfriendly vibe.For example, I observed the owner have a conversation with one customer. The owner stood behind the customer, questioning him one moment then watching him quietly the next. I would understand the owners concern, maybe he thought the customer was suspicious, but I have received similar treatment in the past. I couldnt stroll the isles without constantly being checked on. Maybe its over-the-top friendly service, but it certainly doesnt come across as such. Too many times Ive felt like the owner or an old staff member was paying too much attention to me.Also, Anglers has hired new staff that is not engaging behind the counter. They just arent friendly.My hope is that Anglers improves the way it treats its customers and improves its staff. This store used to not be this way and I always had a great time visiting. It was almost like an event!I hope Anglers improves in the near future. Id like to be a regular again.
Awesome place. Awesome people. Awesome selection. And awesome prices. Just picked up an slx dc reel and a rod.
Took an older bait casting reel in to be reassembled after disassbly for cleaning. The reel was only used one time in its life and functioned perfectly-just needed lubrication and assembly. I personally made sure every part was there.Two weeks later I got a call saying a part was broken in the reel and it could not be repaired because parts were obsolete. Bull. The guy just couldn’t put it back together correctly. I picked up the reel, took it to another repair facility. In one hour they called me back to inform me they can finish assembly if they had three missing parts. (That I know I had originally given Anglers). I called Anglers and they denied everything. Not very good customer service.
Great costumer service! Great selection, very helpful! A lot of these products I’ve only been able to find online! Amazing!!!
Super friendly and helpful employees! My paddleboard purchase was awesome.
Very cool place to visit. I mainly went because I knew that Russ Whitesides had joined up with APT. I bought a vibe kayak from Russ a few years ago and plan on making my next purchase with him in the future. Very honest guy and wont hesitate to point you to a cheaper option if its best for you.
The best people! Great selection.
Russ is THE MAN! On top of knowing an incredible amount about fishing products just talking with him for a bit makes you feel like a better angler! This guy is a fishing wizard!
Very happy with my Vibe Sea Ghost 110. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality kayaking supplies.
I have never written a review before. So for me to go out of my way to write a review definitely means a lot. When I was first interested in kayak fishing - I did my researched and was definitely overwhelmed with what was on the market and definitely the $$$ kayaks. I live in Plano and when I found out about Anglers Pro Tackle & Outdoors - I decided to give them a try.I’m sure glad I did (Definitely Worth the drive)- This was a great experience and Rick & Patty are amazing to talk to and work with.I ordered a Vibe Skipjack 90 through them. After 4 weeks of waiting, I received a call from Rick explaining to me that they ran into some problem with my order due to freight shipping.Due to the trouble, Rick and Patty upgrades me to a vibe yellowfin 100. Absolutely amazing customer service.Aside from kayaks, they have a wide assortment of fishing gears. Instead of going to your retail chain stores, i highly recommend them for all of your fishing gears and kayaks. I plan on picking up a two seater kayak and I will definitely be back.Not only are you getting fair prices, but you’ll be getting the best service.
Awesome guys! Always have what I need. Thank you for your support in our kayak community.
This place is very cool. Lots of good fishing stuff. It is a small independent business, and the owner is very nice as well as very knowledgeable about many different fishing technics. They have a great selection of just about everything.
Knowledgeable staff and a great variety of big name fishing brands and some small brands trying to get started.
Im not an avid fisherman to say the least, but I would unequivocally recommend this place to anyone. They talked with me, figured out where and what I would be fishing for, and then recommended only what I needed. Then they showed me the best way to hook the baits, and more importantly explained why the bait was the best one to use. Dont go to the big box stores. Go here.
I have been To this establishment 6 times the 1st time I spent $1400 on a kayak and parts for the kayak The day the day knew that I was Spending $1400 the owner would rush to my aid All the other times Ive been in there I been getting odds and and tackle the owner was very Unfriendly and seemed as if he did not want me in his store today I go in there after going to the gym to make a $60 Purchase and when I go to the gym I do not bring my wallet all I bring as my Watch which will work anywhere a magnetic strip card can be slid I go to check out and the owner tells me that that will not work here I say yes or it will it will work anywhere a magnetic strip works the process goes through and is approved and he goes On to tell me that he will no longer let me do that because people do fraudulent things now days which I understand but I have spentOver $2000 in the store with no problems to me it seems like this establishment is not willing or wanting your money unless you are going and to spend big bucks no wonder its always dead when I go . The guy in the back Russ however is very knowledgeable on kayaks and will not try to sell you the most expensive kayak unless that is actually what you need or want, talk to him stay away from the owner
They staff were beyond helpful. And very humble. Seemed as if Ive been there a hundred times. Cleanest and most well organized shop Ive been into along time. Screw going to Cabelas or bps
I sold 2 kayaks on consignment with these guys and it was a pleasure...brought them in on a Saturday and they called Monday and said sold!!! Awesome little store with a good selection of tackle, kayaks and rods etc...wish they were in Grand Prairie! Highly recommended.....
I am exploring getting into kayak fishing, and decided to stop by one of the few fishing kayak shops in the area to see what inventory they had. I got lucky and showed up when it was a little slow. The owner, Mr. Rick Wallace, took 45 minutes out of his day to answer my questions, talk to me about starting out in kayak fishing, and explain what a beginner should be aware of with respect to kayaks, PFDs, and paddles. He also pointed me towards several kayak fishing clubs/groups in the DFW area, in case I wanted to find somebody to fish with.He never asked me to buy anything, he never ducked any of my questions, and he even pointed out a few other dealers that carried different brands if I wanted to look at those shops to see what other kayak manufacturers had to offer. Oh, and he even said he does demo days if you call him a day or two in advance. Now THAT is how you sell yourself and your brand. I will point anyone and everyone I know looking to purchase kayaks and/or fishing gear towards Anglers Pro Tackle in Richland Hills. He will definitely get business from me, no question.It is becoming harder and harder to find retailers like Rick, and that is why I felt so compelled to write this review, even though I am still in the looking phase (not an owner yet). I will be back at Anglers Pro once I am ready to buy. Even if I have to get a special order a brand he doesnt carry through his company, its worth it that much to me that he gets my business, because hes willing to risk losing a sale to make sure his customers are informed.
Im from houston but happen to be working in grapevine. To the three people who live their life based of some drunk on YouTube need to get a life. Do ANY research at all youll see that Anglers Pro Tackle want probably on the right side of this decision. Ill drive 40min one way to support the family company. Looking forward to my visit.
Best tackle shop EVER everything you need very friendly!!!!!! They helped me with anything I needed help with !! Definitely recommend this place if you have fishing questions or in need of fishing tackle !!! So many soft plastics and hard baits !!! It felt like heaven in there !!!!! If you LOVE fishing this is the place for you ! Looking forward to coming back soon !!!! Best tackle shop on Earth !!!!
Real family and friends oriented place, walk in a customer and leave a friend! these guys know my name and Ive been there twice in the last year or so
Wish they catered to cat fisherman as well. Geared towards Bass Fishing. Nice place overall though.
Good people good service
Great staff hooked me up with exactly what I was looking for. Even allowed me to come back and pick up later that day.
Great People, Great Service! I couldn’t be happier with their customer service and the deal I got on my new Hobie Outback.
Customer is awesome. Have everything for your kayak. They do demos if your wanting to get in the sport. Absolutely enjoyed shopping there.
I have heard that this buisness told Rob at Lunkerstv not to shop here even though Rob was actually incorporating them into some of his videos on youtube so...

Rick and his associate were extremely helpful and friendly. Great selection and fair pricing.
Ansolutely the best shop in North Texas!
Very knowledgeable staff always eager to help answer your questions and provide you with expert advise.
Great service and quality products
Love this shop. Been shopping here for the past 2 years. Staff is very helpful and informative. They carry everything here!
Anglers is definitely the go to tackle spot if youre in DFW and want tackle, kayaks, kayaking fishing gear, knives, hunting accessories. Rick the owner is a great guy, easy to talk to, and knows his stuff. I have always had a great shopping experience here. Go check them out first if youre planning on buying a fishing Kayak, they have the best boats in stock. Saving my pennies for a Native Titan Propel and i will buy it here.
Great people owner is very friendly and helpful. Dont waste your money at big box stores, get it from the pros!
Great place to find baits very helpful staff and great place to find odd baits that you cant find in the bigger retail chains and if you request something they wont hesitate to order it for you..also they are in the know about the hot lakes and how they are fishing I am a avid bass fisherman and I go here over bass pro or cabelas
Great shop, friendly folks, I wish it was closer to home, Id be there all of the time. Haha

I love these guys, I drive more then 30 miles to shop here. Helpful staff, large but not huge selection but lots of diversity.
THE tackle store in the DFW area. Great selection of gear & baits that you used to only be able to get by online ordering. Service is excellent & they treat you like a fishin buddy instead of a customer. And if you are short on time, you can still do the online thing with their excellent web site.
Excellent customer service today! First time in and these guys were extremely helpful! Thanks!
Great service and a nice selection of gear!
Awesome people and atmosphere. Weather you a beginner or seasoned tournament angler APT has what you need.
Its nice to shop for fishing gear in a family owned and operated store by real fishermen/women. They have a large inventory/selection of tackle that actually can catch fish and at reasonable prices.
Terrible customer service. The owner accused me of lying about a tackle bag that fell apart 3 days after purchase. He stated it was over a year old despite the fact that I had a receipt which correlated with his transaction database.After several minutes of debate he decided to contact a Berkeley representative via text to see if they would honor a replacement, yet sent a biased message filled with pictures to highlight the idea that I was lying. I did not see the message, but assume it complemented his conclusion. He was extremely stubborn and rude during my visit.This is a business that treats customers with disrespect after a valid RMA request.
Best selection of softbaits around. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I love this place. Thanks again Gary Mcadams for sending me here :)
Great selection, prices may be a little more but they have great staff and you cant beat the convenience of it all
Friendly staff, specialized tackle great help.
This place has The goods that I normally have to order. And all of the popular more common items but for better prices. Wish I lived closer!
I hate to make this rating sound like a broken record, but they really do deserve 5 star rating. They help me with all my questions. It is well worth the drive to their store. I will be back!
Awesome store! Has everything for rod/reel fishing. Wish they had fly stuff.
Great selection of the newest tackle on the market. Good advice on area lakes.
