I can't believe no one answered. I want to know as well. I did find a fishing store in San Jose, but Walmart would be better.
Last month, I was in San Jose. I went to the Walmart in Guadelupe (about 7 minutes by cab from the Sportsmen's Lodge). There I purchased a 6-foot fishing rod (about 1,000 colones), rum (Ron Plata Especial), and an assortment of Britt chocolates and coffee beans (half the price charged in the shops at SJO).
There was only one size and type of rod available and there were no rods with reels (fishing gear can be found in the back of the store, center right). Also, I do not recall seeing any reels and I saw very little fishing gear. Nevertheless, I packed a reel and hooks in my luggage for my trip to Costa Rica.
Catch A Big One!!
