There are real bargains to be had in genuine brand name gear such as Shimano but you need to know your home prices to locate them. Husband provided a wish list with Aus prices There are four shops close the markets and to the Ramayana . The proprietors are friendly enough to direct you to each others shop if you get to one of them. Try the two very close to one another on the corner of Jl Imam Bonjol and Hasanuddin.
There is also some downstairs in Matahari's, Denpasar but this is mainly small stuff for river fishing. Also Sulawesi Street and Toko Lautan Mas at No 1 Imam Bonjol at Denpasar end.
Also just around the corner from here.
Istana Pancing on Jl Diponegoro, No 201 Pasar Sangiah Lantai No 3. This is a Shimano outlet.
Sumber - Laut, Jl Sulawesi No 54, Denpasar. Ph (0361) 224 501 Fax (0361) 222 671. Great range of gear at reasonable prices. Open 8-4 except Sunday. 'Pancing' shop, between No 359 and 245Jl Raya Sesetan opposite Government offices (Department Pertanian). Shop is on the right coming from Benoa heading to Denpasar. Penn reels at about 60% of Aust prices; hooks size 2/0 at Rp35,000/100 box.
There is a fascinating fishing tackle shop on a one-way street not far from Matahari's, it's on Jl Blambangan No 2. Kuta. The range of fishing gear will astound you. I found this one last trip. Lovely, helpful guy. Great for people staying in Tuban. His name is Irianjaya Tarigan.
