Anchor Inn Bait & Tackle 1201 Veterans Memorial Highway, Council Bluffs, IA 51501

"Anchor inn gets a 5 star. best bait around, if he runs out he’s on the way to get more. Best catfish headquarters around the area. more rods then the big stores anywhere close. customer service is top notch. if he doesn’t have it he will do whatever he can to get it in for you. Catfish bait,line,rigs and weights, scales, nets even bass and crappie stuff and now stocking ice fishing stuff also if you haven’t been in there I’d say get in there and check this place out you won’t be disappointed"

"Some of the best customer service I've had in a shop in a long time, hes willing to help and provide info, i will gladly come back every time, very recommended."

"They have a huge selection of catfishing gear and more rods than bass pro. Always clean and the staff is nice. Definitely best Live Bait around, stays alive forever. Oddly enough my favorite part of the shop is the Shop Dog Donut, we stop by there sometimes just to bring him a treat and say hi. Highly recommend this small little shop over any of the big box stores!!"

"Anchor inn Bait shop is a big community supporter . Always willing to go the extra mile for the community an customer in general. Photos below of Youth fishing Give away . Thanks again an we will see you soon"

"Awesome spot to shop small business in Iowa. The dog and cat are great and friendly adding to the homey feel. Joel (I think) was super intentional and helpful with any questions I had being from out of town. He hooked me up with some set ups for bass fishing and even got the fake bait rigged on the hook for me so I could just tie it on and fish! He knows a ton about the local areas and gave several recommendations and wrote them down for me. Definitely a spot to return to and support! **Update, the set ups are working (tomato worms?) and I caught a couple nice ones so far! Thanks!"
