CharkBait is a tackle shop focused exclusively on saltwater hook-and-line fishing. It began as an online retailer and opened its physical location in Huntington Beach in 2001. The staff and owner are consistently described as extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and honest, with their integrity being unquestionable. They are noted for actually fishing regularly in the local areas, providing practical advice. The shop offers a good selection of lures, rods, and reels for saltwater fishing, with fantastic prices and a great price match policy. It is considered the best saltwater tackle shop in Orange County by many. Customers strongly recommend it for both advice and purchases, noting the staff saves them from costly mistakes. It is not a source for freshwater, fly fishing, trout, bass, or spearfishing gear, nor for general boat supplies. Their helpful YouTube videos are also a recommended resource for learning.
