Saltwaters Bait & Tackle

One of the best tackle shops on the east coast. Staff is knowledgeable and they have a great selection of fishing gear.

Mike is great!
Fixed my 'stall while I waited.
Highly recommend him and his shop.

One of the best tackle stores around. Very friendly and helpful. Large inventory of everything. Great reel service and a quick turnaround. Jose Is the man!

This is a clean.modern.yet old school bait store.

As another poster said it is right on the way to Robert moses and Captree state parks.

They have a lot of stuff yet is not overwhelming.

The guys running the place are professional, laid back and seemed like good folks.

The bait quality was very good.

I will be back.

Always a great experience the guys are awesome very helpful and knowledgeable get all my stuff from here fairly priced no complaints at all highly recommend shopping here

If you are first time visiting here, make sure your bait is fresh before you walk out. I got clams yesterday morning, when i got to fishing point was so disappointed, they smell bad and was so soft won’t even stay on the hook, was a bad mistake, last time at that store save your money and time stay off.

Great tackle shop. The only place I will get my van stall reels serviced. Friendly service and professional results. Great shop for surf anglers.

Sent my original US built Van Staal in for servicing. They did a great job on the servicing and repair. I purchased the reel a few years ago and couldn't find anyone who I trusted to service it. I was referred by another shop to Saltwaters tackle. And these guys are one of the only remaining shops that has the knowledge to work on an older VS like the one I have. I will be sending my newer VS in when it requires servicing for sure. I'm glad I sent them my reel all the way from FL. If I'm ever in NY I'm going to have to stop in and check out the stores.

Sent in a reel for service got it back.relatively quickly.they repackaged my UPS box as I was lacking packing paper etc. Very good service Mike and everyone knows their [email protected] definitely send it back after this season in the surf.

First time there. Accompanied my son for some fishing tackle. While he was walking around and getting his reel spooled I ended up speaking to proprietor who was very friendly and knowledgeable about what I was looking for. I bought my son a Penn Pursuit III saltwater combo
as a graduation present. Will be back!

December 3 th 2019,4 months ago bring my reel to them to service
Today is March 22 2020. Not repaired but bring back to me missing parts. No handle, god know what is gears missing inside reel.
Do not bring anything for repair. They will loose it. Sending to repair their friend or repair guy.
They don’t take responsibility to do right things for their customer. Still waiting my reel.

Got a reference to go to this bait & Tackle shop And I'm sure glad I did I picked up a new rod and reel and Frank helped me out with all the questions and answers I needed. They have all quality brands to choose from This will be my new store to buy all my stuff for fishing and more.

Incredible service. Awesome experience, my reels will always get serviced here from now on!

Met and exceed my expectations! Mike is great and knows his stuff especially van staals. Took the trip from New Jersey and wasn't disappointed. Will definitely be back for whatever I need! Thanks again mike!

Great Tackle Shop, just had my Van Stall VR 150 serviced by Mike, very happy with my Reel, Thank You

Brought my Van Staal VS 150 to Salt Waters for Mike to work on because I 'froze' the reel by reinstalling the handle cover incorrectly. Totally panicked because mine is one of the unique black reels that has turned root beer/bronze in color and would have been even more upset by my carelessness if the exterior needed to be changed. Mike was able to repair my reel while saving all of my original external components and for this I am truly appreciative. My reel was back in my possession in a few days. Great shop and super staff!
