The Legacy Continues

I'm Melissa A. Rinker, proud owner and operator of Swarthout's Bait & Tackle Shop. I'm committed to carrying on my mom's legacy, maintaining the same traditions and excellence that made this shop a beloved institution in the Twin Tiers.

Alongside my niece, Katlyn, we're excited to keep the spirit of Swarthout's alive, serving the fishing community with the same warmth and expertise that our customers have come to expect. We look forward to continuing this family tradition and welcoming you to the shop!
