bait shops
Anglers' supply stores
Bait shops are retail stores that sell live bait—worms, minnows, leeches, crickets—and fishing tackle.
They're typically found near lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, catering to recreational anglers.
Many double as general stores selling snacks, ice, and fishing licenses.
We stopped at the bait shop for nightcrawlers before heading to the lake.
