A friend is heading over to china in a few weeks and has a Hong Kong stop over. wondering if there are any tackle shops in Hong Kong worth a look.

Seven Island Hong Kong
http://www.sevenislands.com.hk/
Hong Kong dealer of: Carpenters, Hammer-Head, Craft Baid and CB One...etc.

Jason, make sure you tell your friend not to expect a warehouse sized tackle store. Seven Islands is a pretty small store, not much more than a room, really. On my last visit their Carpenter lures amounted to one Sea Snake. Not really where on earth that came from considering that lure has been out of production for ages.

Hi Jason, you can try the below tackle shops when in HK.
1) Po Kee - 1st Floor, 6 Hillier Street, Sheung Wan (nothing to shout about but it's a decent tackle store. apparently, it is the oldest one in HK)
2) Hong Kong Fishing Tackle Co - 1/F Fullagar Industrial Building, 234 Aberdeen Main Rd, Aberdeen
3) Triton Fishing Equipment - 4 outlets they have (If I am right, Triton's the only one carrying a pretty wide spread of major and up-market brands)
a) Shop B, G/F., No. 4 Ferry Street, Jordan, Kowloon.Tel: (852) 2388-7229 Mon~Sat: 11:30a.m.~08:30p.m
b) 1/F., Tak Wah Mansion, No. 290~296 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Tel: (852) 2866-8551 Mon~Sat: 11:30a.m.~08:30p.m
c) 1/F., Fok On Court, No. 100-108 Ma Tau Chung Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Tel: (852) 2714-6262 Mon~Sat: 11:30a.m.~08:30p.m

I'm pretty sure those are not the only ones available in HK (just that I visited them when I was last there).
Good luck!
Cheers

Triton is big but very little of interest to GT anglers!

brandon, unfortunately, i would have to agree with you.. GT-specific tackle, there isn't really much in Triton :-\
