Freeport Bait & Tackle

"This was my first visit here. Overall, this was a solid old-school bait and tackle facility. Knowledgeable owner who knows his stuff. I purchased a small reel here. I was unable to repair my rod here, but was told about another place to go to fix that. I try to support local fishing and bait shops whenever possible. This is a good one."

"Hands down the best bait and tackle shop on Long Island! Service is quick yet personal, and they have everything you could ever want to get on a catch. It’s a local, family-owned business that is a staple in the fishing community. I travel pretty far to get here, and it’s worth every minute!"

"Everything you need from live and frozen bait, to rods and tackle, and anything else you might need on a boat. Reasonable prices, and John, the owner, is super knowledgeable on anything fishing and always has details on what the fish are biting that day. Highly recommend!"

"Very friendly staff, and helpful. I showed up as they were closing, instead of turning me away and telling me to come back another day, they opened the door welcomed me in gave excellent advice and help. There aren’t many businesses that operate this way in this day and age. This is the true meaning of customer service, I am thoroughly impressed and will continue to shop here in the future. The cherry on top is their excellent variety and selection of gear, tackle, live bait, worms, frozen bait, and artificial bait all at reasonable prices."

"I’ve driven by a thousand times but never went in until recently. John is a stand up guy and very knowledgeable. I’ve been back several times in past few weeks, and look to make this my new - regular shop. Definitely recommend stopping in for a great selection."
