I went up to my cousin's cottage on the lake over the weekend and did a bunch of fishing with my uncle's spinner. Now I'm hooked, but I want to get my own equipment.

Anyone know of some shops in Toronto other than Bass Pro at Vaughan Mills where I can get some decent equipment and tackle kits?

Canadian Tire, Walmart. If you were asking for a small mom and pop store, then I can't help you. Why not shop at Bass Pro? I find their prices to be the best compared to all the stores I've visited.

Bass Pro is too far, I live at V.P. and Sheppard and I don't drive

Since you don't drive ...I assume you use public transit.

You can get to Bass Pro by using public transit from Yorkdale or Downsview stations.

Haha, now you're hooked.
I caught two ~20" walleye last week near Timmins
Make sure you know what type of fish you're going for before you buy your tackle.

lebarons on woodbine/7 have the cheapest prices, but really crappy service. so if u know what u need, then go there. u can always go to crappy tire and price match lebarons (aka lemorons). there is also JB's fishing depot in martingrove/401 area, and AV fishing(i think) on sheppard (near mccowan).

Keeping in mind I'm from KW, you need to add an extra hour
