The lowlife clerk snapped at all the kids. We were going to purchase a large gift card and a pack of overpriced Senkos ($11.99 at this store, typically $7.99). Maybe the extreme markup is to make up for all the potential customers they run off? Needless to say, we left without buying anything. Overall, my 1 star is due to crappy service, poor freshwater selection, and insane markups. Wouldn't recommend this place for yourself or kids. I was not surprised to see other reviews on here describing how other families had their first fishing trip ruining. Real stand-up people running this place. Interesting business strategy. Let's see how it works out for them!

Saw a lot of the 1-star reviews on here, so I was skeptical when I went in. However, this place is awesome. The staff is super nice and very helpful. I was looking for a rod to put a conventional reel on, and after telling them what I wanted (type of fishing, the reel I'd be using, lure size, types of fish I'd be going after, where I would be using it), they showed me some options from different price ranges and I ended up buying one. Prices were very fair and I ended up going back twice for other little things, leader line and some rod epoxy. This place honestly has a better selection of fishing gear than the bass pro in Atlantic City.
