30 years ago today
March 16, 1988. 21 years old and went to the city of OB and canceled my John's Custom Rods business license and was issued a J&M Tackle business license. With the help and support from a lot of you, we went from a couple thousand square foot shop to the twenty three thousand foot store we are today. The part that hurts the most is Mike's and my mother spend almost 29 years working with us 5+ days a week and I have tears in my eyes while typing because I miss her so much and with out her this place would not exist....... Thanks, John Giannini.

Congratulations on the 30 years. I'm just a tourist that can only makes it down about 3 weeks a year but J&M is almost a daily visit. It doesn't matter if I'm there to purchase a new rod and reel, get line put on my reels, get a new hat or just get a couple dozen shrimp, the staff are always pleasant and helpful. It's a great feeling to know if you have a problem or a question someone there can help you. Thank you for providing excellent service to all.

Congratulations on a wonderful run. Going to J&M is always one of the highlights of my day---I feel more that I'm visiting friends than going to do business. Y'all keep on.

The best way we can honor our mons is being Men they would be proud of. Your are certainly doing that. You run a great store and have a great family. If more businesses were ran the way yours is our nation would be greater than it already is. Thanks for all you do and continue to make your MOM proud every day.

A mother's faith in her sons goes a long way!
Congratulations to you and your family (and your great employees) for making J&M Tackle the iconic business it is!

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
