BAIT ON A HOOK
Fish Tales Bait & Tackle is a locally owned bait shop. They have been in business since 2007. People should get their bait and tackle from Fish Tales because they are family-owned, affordable, and give back to the community.
One reason to support Fish tales is they are family-owned. The business has been owned by the Ellis family since 2007, and they have expanded since then. They are great people that care about their customer service. They always make sure they meet customers' expectations and needs.
The affordable prices are another reason why you should come support Fish tales. For example, Xtra Tuff boots are sold there for $79.99 while other big-name stores sell the same products for $89.99 or more. All your hooks and frozen baits are priced competitively compared to corporate chains, and they have two locations where customers can shop. Regular customer, Christian Blankenship said at Fish Tales, “Prices are fair, [there’s] good customer service, and [they] always have what I need.”
Fish Tales also gives back to the community by doing fishing tournaments. All fishing license purchases also go back to the community area to help improve the waterways and more state parks by the Fish and Wildlife Department. They also hold tournaments for veterans that can't always get out there to get the experience of fishing.
You also can check out Fish Tales Bait and Tackle at 1501 W Broadway in Hopewell and get this experience for yourself. They are also found on Facebook here and you can view their website here. You can call them at 804-452-2220.
