As we gear up for the 2025 AFTA Awards, we want to take a moment to spotlight one of the biggest achievements in our network. In 2024, Fisho’s Tackle World Hervey Bay was awarded Best Tackle Store in Australia. More than just a title, this win reflects what the Tackle World LIFE is all about: local expertise, independent spirit and a crew that lives the fishing lifestyle every single day.
This wasn’t just a store winning a trophy. It was a celebration of everything that makes Tackle World different. When you walk into a Tackle World store, you’re getting more than gear on a shelf. You’re getting advice from people who fish the same water you do, who know the conditions, the seasons and what works right now.
Fisho’s Hervey Bay has built a reputation for being more than a store. They’re a hub for their local fishing community. Whether it’s helping juniors tie their first rigs, sponsoring comps, or hosting epic fishing charters, the team shows what happens when a store is built by fishos, for fishos.
This is what the Tackle World LIFE is all about.
LIFE stands for Local Independent Fishing Experts: passionate local crews who live and breathe fishing. If they’re not in store, they’re on the water testing new gear so they can give real advice that actually helps you catch fish.

As we head into the 2025 AFTA Awards, we’re proud to reflect on what this win means. It’s not about one weekend or one sale. It’s about years of living the lifestyle, backing the community and delivering trusted advice that only real fishos can offer.
Fisho’s Tackle World Hervey Bay didn’t just win a title. They showed the rest of the country what the Tackle World LIFE looks like in action.
