Hi all

I've just moved into D4 and am looking around for some decent saltwater fishing store. Can anyone recommend any?

I checked out Saigon Tackle a few days ago, they have some decent Shimano and Daiwa rods and reels but mainly jigging stuff.

I usually head to the corner of Xo Viet Nghe Tinh & Dien Bien Phu for my fishing supplies but they don't speak english there.

Thanks for the input Jim. I'm not too sure about whether it's ok to fish here in HCMC but I'm likely to plan a weekend trip to the Can Gio area for some fishing.

Info for fishing fanatics -

I was near Hong Bang yesterday and saw a few tackle shops there. There's one near the new works-in-progress bridge/highway that has a some decent Shimano gears. (Baitrunners, Stellas, Thunnus etc)

The whole stretch of Hong Bang had about 4 or 5 fishing tackle shops mainly specializing in freshwater stuff.

I'll probably head for the shops cheeha recommended later this afternoon if the weather is fine.

happy fishing!
