This local independant tackle store is my absolute favorite. While it may not have the hottest Strike King crankbaits or every rapala lure out there, it does have a little bit of nearly anything you can use to fish.
Their is reason they don't have everything your modern tournament bass fisherman would need though. They very much cater to the needs of the local demographic. So if have the ever so popular michigan stand of Walleye fever you won't leave this store disappointed.
There soft plastic section is pretty decent enough (while a little light on the tubes), as is their crankbaits and stickbaits. They may not have your specific lure, but they will have one that's close enough. Jigs, Rigs, Spoons, jitterbugs, and old school wood poppers are plentiful and varied. Their rod and reel selection is medium sized with everything from cheap shakespear reels to the beautiful quantum exo.
Andy's does lack live minnows. They do have crawlers and waxie's though. Another area of the store that leaves much to be desired is the spinnerbait and bass jig area. As mentioned earlier they cater to their crowd and they seem to only like the bland northland spinnerbaits. They do stock alot of the boo-yah buzzbait line though. So if your a spinner bait/buzzbait junkie you'd be better off at gander mountain, basspro, or cabelas.
One area of product Andy's really excels at though is lure making. This place has everything for a DIYer. Jig and sinker molds, lead bars, blades, hooks, wires, blank bodys line about 1/4 of the store, much of which is geared towards the fly tyer.
The very best part of Andy's though is that the facts, opinions, and local knowledge are all free. The store is ran by anglers and shopped by anglers, both of which will be willing to share what they know with you. I have learned much about the art from listening to anglers go at it about the techniques.
