I know of a couple of stores in San Pedro but I wouldn't want to shop there. I think your best bet would be to have a friend bring what you are looking for from the states. I brought a couple of Avets and an Accurate with me last trip. If the reels are empty, they can be carried in a carry-on no problem but I have had a hassle when the reels were full of line (line as a weapon?). |

There is a half-way decent "sporting goods" shop around the Central Market. 50% of the store is dedicated to hand guns, assault weapons, shotguns, etc. (The Bersa .380 costs over $510.00!!!), but as I recall there is a decent stock of fisherman stuff. Now exactly where around Central Market, I cannot be specific....I tend to get turned around but it was no more than block on either side.....I was just there last week.....it is on a pedestrian walkway, however, but not THE pedestrian walk way. |

There are several Gun/Armeria & Sporting Goods stores in the downtown area. It is not the easiest to give directions or names to most of these places, but within a 30 minute walking cycle in downtown you will come across at least 3-4. If you walk west from the Del Rey ...Key Largo...on Avenida 1 stay on the north side of the street and you will see a sporting goods/armory store a few blocks walk. Also if you are on Avendia Central you can find the Banco Nacional Atm little building, has casio store on opposite corner.....from the intersection walk south maybe a block and on the right hand side you will see a sporting goods/armory store. Craigs list has also had a posting for some used fishing equipment in Escazu area if I remember correctly in the last couple of weeks, you should be able to search on their site for the ad. Good Luck |

in Re: fishing line as a weapon--not to be a buster here but a couple of wraps of even 7#-test line around a throat... Also wouldn't most places where'd you go fishing have some although higher-priced gear you'd need? Just asking. |

Tuanis, what i need specifically is steel leaders ,various size hooks, 20 lb test ,maybe 30 lb test and a reel for heavier line. I have a few lures really dont need more, i fish from shore and usually use live fish as bait, i found a spot where i can catch huge roosters and jacks casting from shore |

There is a fishing tackle store one block off of Paseo de Colon NW of the Hospital de Ninos named Keko. It is owned by an old Tico and has a fair assortment of stuff. It is relatively high but probably the best selection in San Jose. There is another on the left side of the road enroute to Jaco. Pops |
