Very helpful and always get what I want and looking for

Went to a popular fishing spot in Parys and ran out of some fishing gear. I googled nearby places and River Bottom came up first. Their rating was also good and decided tk give them a try. Man, was i pleasantly surprised. Service was top notch and very friendly and super efficient. I will not hesitate to give them a huge thumbs up and will gladly recommend them to anyone. They know their products and has a huge variety of products. Well done guys

I was very surprised by the quality and variety in this shop! I had to rush off about two-thirds of my way through, but I'll definitely be back. Excellent assortment of landing nets, bank sticks, rods, reels, baits, and even gadgets like lights and pliers.

Bought a rod from them in December 2022, 2 days in, rod broken, according to River Bottom user is the problem, on a strike of a catfish it snapped on one place, the tip broke due to the fall of the original weak spot. When it got taken back, it was said they will send it to get repaired, now i need to buy a tip. Long stories told was on back of a bakkie(don’t own one) scratch. Etc, looking to blame than taking responsibility and looking to resolve. Principal matter, spent easy to 30k at them, nice store, have all you can think of, but if the problems comes, hands in the air. Sad, as this is a nice store. I don’t care about the 1k Spent on the rod, I do however care about how they do customers service. Not interested in a solution, did not even ask for refund. Just my experience…. The response is a joke, according to logic, a rod will have marks after it brakes. However, as i said my experience, and I will recommend as nice store, but poor customer service skills.

Do have a very big variety of Fishing stuff. For sure the right place to go. Unfortunately can not say the same for service. The ladies definitely not the friendliest, i experience. If they were bid more willing to assit i would definitely spend much more than the R800 i did spend.

Friendliest staff. Always ready with good advice and share their experiences with fishing
