Came in looking for a gift reel thinking I wanted one model and they directed me toward a different one that also happened to have been cheaper. The staff were extremely helpful

Great place for fishing gear and bait. I bought all my kids first tackle and rods here. The only bad thing ill say is stay clear of the mystery bags. I received a pair of ankle skirts intended for running in my mystery ice fishing bag, good laugh but far from what I would consider ice fishing gear.
