Going after fin creatures is one of the most popular recreational activities here, so you can bet that Outer Banks tackle shops have evolved to provide everything an angler could possibly need. From the most cutting-edge technological rods and reels to the cut bait that entices the bites, you’ll find it at Outer Banks tackle shops. There are still the mom & pop outlets where you also get expert advice from the locals who staff them about what’s biting where. Lots of anglers in the know make it a point to go sit a spell at these old-time shops to absorb the knowledge of the fishermen who amble in and out. But you’ll also find tackle shops that combine every essential fishing paraphernalia with gifts, clothing and accessories. Don’t let the cleaned up atmosphere of these larger Outer Banks tackle shops fool you, though. Fishing is spoken here in all iterations, and the staff is always ready to hand out some helpful advice. You can also read the daily fishing reports to stay on top of the best spots to head out to.
