Our Story: A Real Aussie Tackle Shop

"We're a family-run business that started with a physical tackle shop (Ocean Storm) in the Illawarra region of NSW back in 2001. We launched our online store, Fishing Tackle Shop, in 2005, and we've been proudly serving the Australian fishing community ever since.

We're not just a website; our team is made up of keen anglers, and we've got a real, brick-and-mortar shop you can walk into. The advice we give and the products we stock are based on over 20 years of real-world experience and direct feedback from the customers we talk to every single day."
- Ben Czulowski, Owner, Fishing Tackle Shop (Ocean Storm)
