If you’re an angler traveling in Vietnam, you might be wondering: where can I buy fishing gear in Ho Chi Minh City? The good news is there are plenty of local fishing stores (known in Vietnamese as “Đồ câu cá”) scattered around the city. From small local shops to international tackle brands, you’ll find everything you need — rods, reels, lures, and accessories.
