"Your Complete Saltwater Fishing Connection"

Based in Southeastern North Carolina, we are one of the largest independently owned and operated tackle shops around.  From the marsh to the gulfstream, we have a full line of the best tackle to make your next fishing adventure successful as well as enjoyable.  Not stopping there, our service, help and sharing of knowledge is more important to us than the sale itself.  Got a question about something? Just ask!

Feel free to browse our complete catalog with the navigator on the left.  Tabs at the top of the page include resources such as knot tying, weather and sea conditions, as well as links to our vendors and local guides/charters. 

Tackle Tip of the Day

When fishing with casting jigs for schooling fish such as bluefish, spanish mackerel and false albacore, replacing the treble hook with a single hook can be beneficial.  Releases are easier and fish are easier to dehook, keeping you fishing while the school is still on the surface and actively feeding.
