Hooked Up Bait and Tackle is a locally owned business in Gulf Shores offering a nice variety of…read moretackle of all kinds and apparel, live shrimp, crabs, minnows, worms and various dead baits for both fresh and saltwater anglers. They've also got lots of poles, rods. reels and accessories like coolers and bait wells plus you can even pick up those cool fishing wagons to roll out onto the pier or the beach. The folks there are always super helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to just the right jigs, baits, hooks, etc. Big shout out to Amrit who always rounds up everything I need, nice!! Bottom line; I can get everything I want for my fishing excursions and they're open 7 days a week at 6am and it's located at 100 E 20th Ave, Gulf Shores right at the bottom of the south side of the Hwy 59 canal bridge, just around the corner so they're my favorite tackle shop!!

Took the boys to shop (they fish, not me) and visited a few shops during the morning. Of the shops…read morethis one smelled like dead fish and was over priced on the items (clothes) I looked at while shopping - I don't fish or trap so no idea on the pricing for the store's main purpose. The employees didn't seem to care we were there or offer to help as other stores did so while this may be local they don't provide that local friendly service.

So we stopped here as a break in our road trip…read more I came in with my two sons and we were very excited to get my 4 y/o a rod. Also, some bait for some fresh water bass (whatever we catch) fishing. Spoke with David and let him know we are new and eager to get to it and learn. I saw really happiness in his eyes. David became a mentor/teacher. I cannot say how much David made an impact on me and my eldest son... he is truly a fisherman and wise beyond all his years. I wish I lived closer so he could teach us more!!! All this in an hour. He walked us through it all and left my son with a smile on his face as we walked out with his new rod. Now the guy in footwear with the thick mustache.. I ask for your opinion/help on some kids footwear and say "I don't know that's your kid" various time ... bruh you were pushing my buttons. Extremely rude and then didn't even remember what I ask him to get... when he took pictures of it... Shoutout to David!!

J&M Tackle was one of the most helpful tackle shops I've been in. The staff took the time to…read morerecommend tackle that would actually work for what I was trying to do, and they even pointed me toward a few spots to try fishing. What really stood out was how much they seemed to genuinely care about helping customers. I must have been asked at least five different times if I needed help finding anything or had any questions. That level of customer service is hard to find these days. Great shop, great people, and definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area.

I've been here at J&M Tackle on Canal Road a number of times over the years, but I got to be honest…read moreit's not normally my first stop. My neighborhood bait shop usually has what I need for most my fishing trips, and J&M is a 20-minute drive in the opposite direction from where I normally fish on the Gulf or Bob Secour River. Still, when my local place comes up short or I need something specific, J&M is where I go. The place is a big resource for us anglers with a massive selection of gear, from live bait and frozen shrimp to rods, reels, lures, and fishing clothes. They even have stuff like pier nets and sandals, which I've actually picked up before. The staff indeed know their stuff and is always ready to help. One time, I was looking for a better setup for surf fishing, and a guy there walked me through some options for pompano rigs. He didn't push me toward the expensive stuff, just pointed out what would work for the kind of fishing I do. I ended up with a couple jigs and a new line that did the job. I've also had them fix a couple of rods for me. Last spring, my go-to rod got banged up pretty bad and the tip was shot, and I that it might be done for. I took it to J&M's rod shop, in the back, where they build custom rods. The person I talked to asked about how I used it and what happened, then said they could repair it. About a week later, I got it back, and it was good as new with a rebuilt tip. The repair cost was a little more than I hoped, but it saved a rod I didn't want to replace, and it wasn't that crazy. I wouldn't say J&M blows me away, like Bass Pro Shop, but It's absolutely a solid tackle shop with a lot to offer, and the biggest around. The staff is friendly and quick to answer questions, whether I'm asking about what's biting or how to tweak my gams for redfish, trigger, flounder, etc. The place is organized, and I like that they carry brands I know plus some new ones I've tried out. I've been to other shops around, and J&M has more options than the rest, period. Beyond fishing gear, some of the fishing clothes, like the fancy shirts, can be a bit overpriced. But for tackle and gear, the prices are fair, and I've never left empty-handed. In addition they have gas, diesel and non-lead fuels for your boats!! Bottomline: J&M Tackle is a reliable spot when I need more than my local shop can offer. If you're in Orange Beach and serious about fishing, it's worth a visit for the gear and the know-how. Recommended!

Second review... We…read morelove their clothing. My wife and I went on a charter fishing trip with Charlie Williams and Charlie was wearing an outfit from LKO. He highly recommended them and told us he buys all his fishing gear from them. A day later we were at LKO picking out all sorts of neat clothing for fishing and generally hanging out. Love the fit, finish, design, etc. I have two pairs of shorts and a pair of warm fishing pants with lots of pockets... The mark of a good business is always how well they deal with problems. The zipper on the pants failed. I just called and they simply asked for my name and address, etc. and are mailing a new pair to me with no questions asked. That definitely puts them in with some of the best. Great gear. Definitely a place you should visit even if you don't fish... but especially of you do.
