tom.jpg

Fishing, fishing and more fishing. This was Tom’s life plan. After graduating from a Marketing degree at UniSA, Tom decided to open Tackle World Adelaide Metro. The long hard days paid off and now TWAM is the finest, most modern fishing store in SA. Tom has covered vast areas of the globe chasing everything from Tiger Fish in Zimbabwe to hooking Trout on Fly in Scotland. His real passion however, is working the deep contours of the Southern Ocean right here in our backyard. Offshore fishing on our coast has been a huge part of satisfying Tom’s fishing needs. Although Snapper, Samson and Tuna are all high priority for Tom, he still loves getting covered in ink from local squid grounds or simply raking a few blueys up for the family over summer. A very approachable fellow, Tom can chat to customers for ages and is surely capable of helping you get that fish of a life time.
