We live for fishing! We are a family run business that creates high quality fishing tackle in Victoria, BC, Canada. With a focus on small batch, high quality fishing spoons and our ability to offer a huge variety of shape/thickness/size/colour combinations, we give the avid angler the ability to match the prey of whichever predator fish is on target. With an original focus on trolling spoons to target Chinook Salmon, the AP Sandlance Spoon, AP Anchovy Spoon and AP Herring Spoon have proven effective for a huge variety of other fish species including Coho Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout and many more. We now offer stainless steel spoons from 2” - 7”, made with stainless steel components and durable decals with glow and UV reflection built into every lure we make.

AP Tackleworks began when I took up the hobby of tackle-making at the age of eight. My parents grew up in families who fished, so it was inevitable for me that our summer vacations included fishing and outdoor recreation and fishing of all types have become an important part of my life, and I in turn are making it an important part of my two sons lives. My family is a crafty bunch and making things has always been something that we enjoy: making fishing tackle was no exception. My father and grandfather first started teaching me to tie flies at the age of eight. Let’s say that I created some rather interesting flies. As ugly as they were, they did catch fish and that sparked a lifetime of interest in tackle and innovation in the realm of fishing and the primal action of putting food on the family table.
These days I spend as much time as possible making tackle and being with my two boys on the water testing gear and enjoying all that the Salish Sea has to offer. Aside from fishing, I am an avid surfer and love camping and being outdoors with my young family.
