    Overpriced compared to others

    Noticed the prices went up quite a bit lately on hooks and lures. Just feels a bit too expensive for a small local shop. Prob wont be coming back much.

    Bad experience with crickets

    Almost all the crickets I bought were dead within ten minutes. Waste of my money. I asked for a refund and they gave me a hard time about it.

    Knowledgeable owner

    Frank knows his stuff. Asked him about the water levels and he gave me the honest truth about where to fish. Saved me a lot of time on the water.

    Great spot for tackle

    Came in for a new rod and reel combo. They had exactly what I needed at a good price. Really friendly staff and a nice variety of gear for local fishing.

    Waited forever for help

    Stood at the counter for twenty minutes while the guy just sat in the back. Not a single person acknowledged me even though they saw me standing there.

    Always fresh bait

    Whenever I fish on the river I make sure to swing by here first. The crickets are always active and they have a huge variety of sinkers. Never had a bad experience here.

    Favorite bait shop

    Love the vibe here. Nice and simple and they have all the lures I actually like to use. It is my favorite place to gear up before a tournament.

    Best minnows in town

    Stopped by on my way to the lake and grabed a few dozen minnows. The tanks look super clean and the bait is really lively. Frank helped me out and gave me a few tips on where the crappie are biting lately. Solid spot for fishing supplies.

    Decent place but busy

    It is a fine place to grab bait but it gets super crowded on Saturday mornings. Wait times can be long so plan ahead if you are trying to get to the water early.

    Solid local bait shop

    Really happy with the service today. Bought some line and some worms. The shop owner was helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back next weekend for more supplies.

    Everything I need

    This place has been my go to for years. Good prices on plastics and the live bait is always top notch. Highly recommend checking them out if you are in Bascom.

    Very helpful staff

    Needed some advice on a new baitcaster. They spent time showing me the settings and how to spool it correctly. Really appreciate the extra effort.

    Good selection of jigs

    I like coming here because they always have my favorite jigs in stock. The prices are fair compared to the big box stores. Parking is a little tight but it is worth it for the quality of the live bait.

    Perfect spot for worms

    I come here every single Friday. They always have fresh worms and plenty of gear. Super convenient location for anyone heading out to the lake nearby.

    Rude service

    The guy working today was straight up rude. I asked a simple question about the best hooks for catfish and he acted like I was wasting his time.
