baitshop
Angler's supply store
A baitshop is a small retail store selling live bait—worms, minnows, crickets—and fishing supplies.
Found near lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, baitshops cater to anglers and often sell licenses, tackle, and local advice alongside the bait: We stopped at the baitshop for nightcrawlers before hitting the lake.
Also spelled as two words: bait shop.
