Serving anglers since 1939, Squidco Fishing in Point Loma is one of San Diego's longest-operating tackle shops, stocking rods, reels, terminal tackle, frozen bait, and rod-building components from its Barnett Avenue storefront near Liberty Station. The shop issues both California fishing licenses and Mexican fishing permits under the same roof, eliminating a logistical step for charter clients departing from Fisherman's Landing down the peninsula. In-house rod and reel repair services include spool re-lining, guide replacement, and full rod restoration, keeping aging gear in rotation rather than retired. Rod-building supplies — blanks, guides, thread, epoxy — stock a dedicated section for anglers who spec their own custom setups before heading out with fleets like Point Loma Sportfishing. Complete rod-building consultations from blank selection through final wrap represent the shop's most hands-on technical service.
