This includes fast action inshore rods to conventional offshore gear for dropping deep.
We offer free spooling with any rod and reel purchase
Premium Freshwater & Saltwater Fishing Line
The connection point between you and the fish, fishing line is a critical component. We stock premium line from top brands like Beyond Braid, PowerPro, Spiderwire, and Yo-Zuri. This includes braids, fluorocarbons, monofilaments, and specialty lines built to handle anything from finesse fishing to battling offshore giants. We have pound tests from 2lb up to 130lb and the perfect line for your needs.

“Awesome shop. I usually went to another store nearby (won’t name), and found Riviera to be so much friendlier and more helpful. Guy working the counter is awesome and takes care of the customer. Highly recommend supporting this business!
