    I bought a rod from them and was charged $135 for it. I was given a 5% discount because I also had a reel filled with braid. I then saw the exactly same rod at Anaconda for $79.99. I then spoke to the manager/owner and told him about it. I asked him to price match or if I can get a refund? He told me no I couldn't. They spent time with me while selling me the rod. Isn't that a salesmans job? Please do your homework while buying from this shop because everything is almost over priced. I feel its daylight robbery.

    I purchased a rod protection tube for a trip to Fiji. I was packing my gear ready for the morning flight and my runners were too big for the tube… Emergency!!! I called Danny at 9:30pm he agreed to meet me at the shop early and do a swap for the correct gear! What a legend!!! Thanks Danny catastrophe averted and hopefully I catch a fish or too.

    Always a pleasure to shop here But be prepared to walk away with more than you bargained for.... Fresh scrub worms and night crawlers are the best Cheers Ray

    Well done to Danny, Lachlan and the team at Gone Fishin. Nice to know that there still are real Fishing Tackle Stores in Melbourne where the people that work there fish and know where the fish are. Gone Fishin has all of the best brands in stock and everyone is always happy help with anything I need. Would highly recommend to anyone living in Metro Melbourne or surrounding areas to drive that little bit further as it’s definitely worth the drive. Support local business as they well and truly deserve it. Well done to you all and keep up the good work from another very happy customer.

    Wandered in to the store with my two young boys - first time boat fishing and was provided with ample advise and assistance with the right bait and the right spots. Proof was in the pudding : 20 (undersized) fish caught (and returned) but great fun. Thanks guys. We will be back next time we are heading down EastLink.

  • 5/5 Paul Malov F. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant service, advice, knowledge and range! Very fair pricing and a huge range across all the different categories and fishing styles. Happy to drive 30 minutes one way to see the team here and do a shop! Keep up the great work!

    So impressed with the service! I wanted to purchase a gift for my boyfriend but didn't want to travel to the store under the restrictions, and also had no idea what to purchase. Rang up and asked for some advice. The staff put together a small gift package within my budget, and made a custom made online purchase order to make payment fast and easy. Even delivered it to my home address in a gift bag! Above and beyond service! Very happy.

    Best place to get tackle and all your fishing needs. Great staff too. The most helpful and respectful when they give advice. Sam's a tip bloke. Very helpful.

    Disappointed that this local family business is enforcing discriminatory mandates. It’s time to spend my money elsewhere since it has become no longer good enough.

  • 4/5 Merdroid W. 2 years ago on Google
    A good place to get fishing gear and bait. Wide selection of equipment on display. Very helpful team members on hand to assist.
