Bait shops are retail stores that specialize in selling live bait, such as worms, minnows, and crickets, as well as fishing tackle and supplies. They cater primarily to anglers, providing everything needed for a successful fishing trip, including rods, reels, and fishing licenses. In addition to bait and tackle, many bait shops offer local fishing information, such as the best spots and current conditions. Some may also sell snacks, drinks, and outdoor gear, making them a convenient stop for both novice and experienced fishermen looking to enhance their fishing experience.
