Hadn't fished Deer Lake before so we stopped in at Ben's Bait Shop and we were handed the perfect bait to catch bass! Friendly, knowledgable employees and a great selection. Carries much more than any other bait shop I've ever been in.

Not just a bait shop! While my husband bought our fishing licenses and a new rod, our 4 year old found a cool t-shirt and I bought a much needed sun hat (and it was a cute one, something I'm not used to finding in the stores my husband frequents). Definitely recommend stopping in.

We weren’t experienced fishers and some some pretty simple (even maybe d**** questions and everyone at Bens was amazing in helping us!! Never made us feel like we had bad questions. They helped us amateurs figure out what bait to use, where to fish, as well as tips, tricks and techniques. Highly recommend!!

My go to bait shop in the area. They have most everything an angler needs and a knowledgeable, helpful staff. Prices are right on par. Large clothing selection as well if that is your thing.

The man who was at the counter on the day I was in the store was so kind, and we had a wonderful conversation. His wedding to his beautiful fiancee is going to be magical.

First day, bought 2 scoops crappie minnows. They were dead by morning. Second day, bought 2 more scoops and they died in one day. I did everything they suggested to keep them alive in my Frabill Magnum Bait Station with aerator. Third day, the lady behind the counter said that they were even having troubles keeping them alive. No apologies or anything. I decided to buy 2 scoops of fatheads and they died after 2 days. It's a half hour drive each way to get there. Not happy or impressed with their customer care. Sure doesn't feel like a small town store. Hard baits were over priced as well.

Ben's used to be my "go to" spot for angling supplies. On my most recent stop the tackle was really picked over... looked like the store had been looted! Asked a few questions and did not get knowledgeable answers. Had to go to another town for jigs... so I got my bait elsewhere too.
