Our Story

About San Diego Tackle Traders

San Diego Tackle Traders is a collector's bench, not a big-box aisle. We buy, sell, and trade premium saltwater gear — from modern reels to vintage "old irons" worth hunting for. Run by Dave, by appointment, with fair trades and straight talk. Come see us first.
