this shop has a new owner, any other bad reviews about this spot was about the old owner. i was a newbie to fishing a couple of months ago and i came here to get some bait, rods and gear etc, kirk the new owner was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. he taught me everything i know till this day. he's a great mentor, a great shop owner and he always takes great care of his bait and things in the store. if your'e looking for a bait shop to go to.. this is 100% the spot. he's even got amazing deals and everything he sells is at a maximum quality. this spot is about 25-30 mins away from me and i still come on fishing days! come here, you wont regret it. read more

Competition Tackle - me fishing with shiners from comp & tackle and i caught multiple peacock bass w his tips! - Fishing Near Me - Davie, Florida

went this morning on 4/27/25. new owner been a couple times and met this new owner and he has done some good to the shop. much better than when the guy used to sleep in his truck most days till 7. and the place smelled like pot. this morning I got 3 doz shrimp and some foot ball jig heads. the jig heads were 4.99 and after he rang me up for three dozen shrimp I paid trusting it wouldn't be out of the ordinary. I check my account while fishing and I was charged 39.95. also every one of three dozen shrimp were dead. I wish this was a joke. I actually liked the new guy. but I think I'm going to start using anglers tackle in Dania beach. last time I go to this place. read more

Competition Tackle - Fishing Near Me - Davie, Florida

The people here were very kind and helpful, I did need to wait a while outside because they were away however I was able to get what I needed and go with no hassle read more

Been coming here for years at this point. I only come for live bait. Not a big selection on tackle but good for shrimp and shiners

good shinners size,good price, i like there hours of service for people who work latter in the day to get baitwhen other shops are closed.

This is the WORST bait shop in south florida if you are looking to buy ANY KINDS of baits and tackles. I have visited this place for 2 years and only thing that has gone up here was the price. Customer service, product quality, owner's/front person's attitude all have been slowly declining to the bottom now. Amazingly stupid strategy to run business especially if you are the small local business owner who doesn't know how to communicate with people. Competition tackle my ass. This shop will be OUT OF competition if the stupid owner doesn't appreciate what keeps him in business. Very dumb. read more

This bait shop has great hours. Awesome early morning or late evening hours. Very knowledgeable staff here. I would definitely recommend. read more

See all

I went in on Friday to buy tackle, works, poles, etc, and the guy who was behind the counter, was going through the worms for me. He looked at one, and I asked for him to look through more, he said they're all the same, and im not going to look through all of these. I looked at him, and said, I'm a customer, I'm spending my money. I'll take my 100.00 elsewhere!!!! He said to me, very boldly, may I say. " ok, bye" I was so disappointed, to know that a company treat people this way. If I needed him to look through the worms, he shall comply. I need a reply from the owner please read more

No finer bait shop. Go in and take a look.. bait pens are immaculate. If you wanna keep bait healthy and alive, you need clean water.. and the bait is the best kept I have seen. Crabs, pilchards, gogs, best shrimp in the area too.. if you're lucky, and the sign is outside, the shrimp will be buy one get one dozen... and not the small wimpy shrimps either! In this area, go check em out for the live bait alone. Frozen bait selection is pretty good too, but this place really rocks the live bait! read more

This is my 'go to' bait and tackle shop whenever I go fishing. Prices are good & the selection is great, but more importantly the owner goes out of his way to help. Last night I drove up as he was puling out of the parking lot. He stopped; turned around; and opened the shop back up for me. You don't find too many people like this. He totally saved my entire night of fishing. read more

drunk dude must have gotten fired bc I got good service! At first I thought I was out of luck bc it was a small shop but Ash helped me pick out some gear and he had every bait you can possibly imagine from live shrimp at $4 a dozen to goggle eyes $60/dozen. It was a little surprising to hear. Plus he had pilchards/crab/and pinfish too. His frozen bait selection was on point as well. Bottom line is this is a good place to pick up some last minute live bait and some light artificials or hooks. If you need more than that u need to go to bass pro shop. read more

I haven't been fishing in years went to bass pro shops and was looking around no one offered to help me. Walked in and Ash greeted me right away we talked for a quick min. I was only needing to purchase night crawlers but his attitude and love for fishing will have me telling everyone about competition bait and tackle!!! And I will be back!!! read more

Their bait prices are expensive. The never have the tackle that I need. The equipment selection is minimal. They are rarely ever to share tips. They usually have an attitude and sometimes they are outright drunk!! read more

Not sure where the pictures were taken posted on yelp but there is no near as much gear in that shop. 27.00 dollars for a dozen pilchards? 4 dollars a dozen shrimp is theeeeeee most expensive bait prices i have ever paid! 1st and last time at this bait shop read more
