Hometown Bait & Tackle

Hometown Bait & Tackle Bait & Tackle Shop Local professionals in the fishing industry have had enough of the lack of live bait and quality products! Don't see it?? Just ask!

We have joined together to start "Hometown Bait & Tackle". Local fishermen selling the stuff that works locally, no fluff, at prices that can't be beat. We're bringing the Mom & Pop Shop back!! We are the NEWEST and ONLY full selection of Live Bait in the Utica Area. Come see us for all of your fishing bait needs. We have all types of minnows from fatheads to suckers and everything in between. We will also carry seasonal bait such as Spikes, Mousies, Salted Minnows, Egg Sacs, Leeches, and Crabs. To make life easier, we carry a quality selection of terminal tackle and accessories. We have hooks, sinkers, bait buckets, and more. We also carry live bait accessories such as minnow buckets, minnow nets, aerators, etc. Soon, we will also be seasonally carrying assortments of hard to find lures, fly tying materials, and flies. New selections will arrive weekly, stop in frequently and check out what's new! We do advance bulk orders and special orders on products such as augers, electronics, and more. SHOP LOCAL for better selections and unbeatable prices! Come to Hometown Bait & Tackle and watch us grow! Become a fan and tell your friends. Together, we can beat the Big Businesses, their lack of local selection, lack of customer concern, and astronomical prices.
