This place is awesome! I just started fishing last year. I started off getting gear at the big box stores, and the internet; after I found this place, it's been my go-to. Greg is super knowledgeable and very very helpful. He has a ton of inventory and the prices are good as well. I would definitely recommend this spot! read more

Great guy running the business. Always has everything i need when shopping for river fishing/creek fishing. great business!

I just started getting into fishing this year and have been to a few shops around town and no one touches their service.

"i used to go there often thought greg was a standup guy i donated mo ney and equipment for the kids i donated 2 fishing jerseys a light jacket they didn't fit me they were new i told him give them to kids that they would fit have a contest or something next time i went to the shop i seen the jacket for sale on a hook i questionsd it greg mumbled something then i seen him scurring around he was hiding one the jerseys after he told me it was in the back i didn't say anything he gave me some weights and i left too disgusted in humanity and never went back" read more

No minnows. Cannot print up a fishing license. Will only help out the usuals or whoever has a big order. No respect for anyone else in there. Waaaaay too expensive for ALL the materials he sells. Hit up Anglers Outlet! Much better deals, awesome people and they don't judge or discriminate anyone. There are plenty of local shops that provide better service ALL OVER THE PLACE. read more

Prices are a little high, sometimes there are good deals. Wonderful fishing shop and the guy who is there is really knowledgeable. If i want to spend money, I'll spend it here. read more

A local hot spot for fishing supplies and culture. The owner spends a lot of time getting to know his customers and speaking with others about fishing. Every time we go in to this place we have a pleasant experience. The owner has helped me find some general areas to fish in Illinois. He has also given me many tips around fishing. The overall prices on goods are okay but I will always pay a little extra to keep small home grown shops in business. The Fishing Connection specializes in Muskie fishing supplies but has a wide array of tackle. Stop in sometime for a needed good or simply to look at the wall of notable fish pictures. Please stop in and support our local fishing establishment. read more

The Beat continues at The Fishing Connection. Ya'll come on in and join the Conga Line !

You have to just love it when you find a local business that hits a grand slam! Maybe you are an avifd fisherman, or maybe you are just taking the kids out to plunk a line in the water at the local forest preserve---either way, this place is for you. The staff could not be nicer, and the selection of quality products is unbelieveable. Also, if you are looking for the 411 on local fishing spots, look no further. These guys are walking information marts for the local fishing scene. Stop by the next time you are driving out in the Tinley area. It is worth a trip whether you live nearby or a few suburbs over. read more

Greg has a tremendos inventory of just about everything from. musky baits to salmon. He has a great assortment of Shimamo to St Croix from Abu Garcia to Loomis. If he doesn't have it in stock, he can order it for you, Greg probably has better input then Bowman or Chaunsey. Ask him about your favorite lake or river. Stop in for anything Greg will help you out with your needs read more

This is my go to spot. Great service. Excellent knowledge. Top notch selection. Greg does it good. I hate those big box stores. I try to send some business his way. Good bait. No minnows though. Tough to keep alive. The rest is fantastic. read more

I've been a customer for 20 plus years. The service, knowledge, and expert advice is second to none. I'd stop fishing before I bought my tackle anywhere else. Thanks Greg for making me a better fisherman. read more

The Fishing Connection (TFC) located in Tinley Park is indeed a great location for fishing locals to gather. It's the Starbucks of fishing tackle stores. Local fishers gather to chat about fishing hot spots and the latest gear and techniques. TFC is hoping to become a world class fishing educational destination with the addition of a library of loanable dvds and books. In conjunction with this library, TFC will also offer hands-on casting and fishing strategy classes. Come look at the new gear, including custom lures and rods. Good fishing! read more

Found this store today after not being able to find what I was looking for at any of the "big box stores" (Cabela's, Bass Pro, etc.). I should have come here first. What an awesome shop. The owner helped me with the ice fishing questions I had and made some additional gear recommendations. He was the only store I could find that had Strike King Lazer Ice auger's in stock (he had one left due to the strong Winter we have had/their popularity). Go to The Fishing Connection first. It is one of the best fishing shops I have ever been in. read more

Best bait and tackle shop in the area. Owner is helpful and knowledgeable about local fishing and beyond. Great service and fair prices, highly recommend! read more

Good selection and he is always friendly and helpful. He knows what he is talking about and has always given good advice and recommendations. Will definitely return and give him my business read more

Great selection of fishing equipment, but not friendly when it comes to sharing any local fishing spots. I went there to buy a few things and asked for some help in finding some fishing spots near the Chicago area. The owner told me to just look at the park districts around and try a few of them. Nothing specific. It seemed like he was not going to share his secrets. He just wanted to sell his good and was preoccupied with talking to his friends. Nice guy tho. read more

Great guys to work with. The store is set up so you can find what you need not like the bigger chain store out there in Bollingbrook. Here it is strictly fishing with great conversation. They are always giving out free advice and fishing reports. read more

Great shop. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful. Good selection of items. Got my pole relined. Good advice on fishing spots.

a few years ago i never heard of this place until a friend had mentioned it so i stopped in and liked it so i bought a daiwa luna 300 here it was my first baitcaster and the owner actually took time to take me out back and show me how to cast it properly so it does not backlash and tangle up on me i have been going here for some years now and it's a great store the best i have ever been to actually and i have been to a lot all over the U.S the owner and all of his employees are extremely friendly and knowledgeable this guy knows more about fishing than any other bait and tackle store i have been to so this is the only place i will go from now on when i need something they seem to actually enjoy their job so you will never get a bad attitude from the people here. also it's the only place i have been to that lines my reels correctly so the line does not start spiraling the first time i use it if you are in the market for some higher end/quality rods and reels stop in he has a good selection read more
