Service was amazing, Andrew helped my entire family finding exactly what we needed. As guests from Wisconsin with zero first hand experience on salt water fishing, Andrew told us to use live shrimp and frozen octopus bits! Worked like a charm, the family had an amazing time reeling in multiple species right from shore. Gonna have to stop back in there and grab a few rod and reels before heading back north. Great deals and prices read more

Such a great shop! Huge selection and great customer service - highly recommend to anyone getting into fishing

Andy was great with helping me select and set up a couple rod and reel combos. He took extra time and care to show me just what I needed. Great experience. I will be back! read more

Gator Jim's tackle Friendly staff, good prices, great selection. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As a Captain and a member with the Freedom Boat Club, I am always shopping for great values. Gator Jim's is my one stop for all my gear to have a successful and safe day fishing. The massive level of inventory is only surpassed by the knowledge of the friendly staff. A huge bonus for me, is when Jim's there and we get a chance to chat; it's like having coffee with a great friend! Forget the box stores and go treasure hunting at this great locally owned business and find some deals and reveal some fishing secrets. Cheers, Captain Rafa read more

I get all my major tackle here. Wide variety of reels and rods with sale prices every month. This is a must stop by place for a good trip out on the boat or some light jogging from the docks. read more

See all

Huge, CLEAN place to get fishing gear and tackle. Big parking lot, organized store with plenty of room to move about. And my toddler loved looking at the huge shark teeth they have for sale. Great prices on bait, my husband was very impressed by the huge live shrimp available. read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. I CANNOT believe I was able to find pink camp braided line for my new rod. Thank you guys for all of your help! In addition to amazing staff, they have a HUGE selection of table, bait, and gear. read more

Heard an advertisement for this place on the radio so decided to stop in. The store is BIG and really cool when you are looking at it from the parking lot. Has that tiki hut, south Florida vibe to it. When you go inside it has absolutely everything you need from fresh and frozen bait, to lures, sun protection, charts, hooks, lines... I could go on... I'm fairly new to fishing and brand spanking new to Gulf fishing - these guys are great at answering the stupidest of questions, giving advice on what the best bait or fishing method is and even took the time to show me a foolproof knot to tie! Given their location to where I live and fish as well as the knowledge and friendliness of the staff as well as everything they have to offer, I can see myself quickly becoming a regular here. If you are in the area, definitely check them out! I did see online that you can grill up your catch there after a day on the water - not sure if that is true or not but there is an outside picnic area with grills! read more

Gator Jim's has a wide selection of pretty much everything tackle relate. A lot of the stuff I can't find at Walmart or dicks, they had it. You can't find weights like anywhere right now except this place read more

Great tackle store. They have pretty much anything you need, and are very knowledgeable and willing to help you out.

Gator Jim's is one of the best tackle shops Saint Petersburg has. All the guys in there are super cool and help with whatever you need without being aggressive like some other shops. Tons of product and cool stuff inside. Definitely worth the drive from largo for us. read more

Nice staff and a great selection of trinkets . Great location on the St Pete Pier. Decent prices. Nice staff.

We stopped by Gator Jim's for the first time about two weeks ago! We loved it! So many deals and sales! Very nice family! We will be back!

Best tackle store I have ever been too. Very helpful and amazing service. Everything you could ever want or need for fishing. This is where I will go whenever I need a rode, reel, lures, etc. It is an hour away from my house and I make the drive when I have a tackle shop down the street. Just all around amazing. read more
