Stopped by Angler 360 on a busy Sunday afternoon and was impressed with how hard David was working…read more He was running the shop by himself while helping a steady stream of customers looking for live bait, tackle, and beginner fishing supplies. Despite being extremely busy, he remained friendly, patient, and professional with everyone who came through the door. I needed fresh 10 lb braided line put on a freshwater reel, and David took care of it for $0.14 per foot. I ended up waiting a bit while he helped other customers first, which was completely understandable given how busy the store was. As a local, I was happy to give him the time he needed, and he was genuinely appreciative and thanked me multiple times for being patient. For live bait, basic tackle, and getting beginners set up, this is a solid stop. Prices seemed fairly competitive for a local bait shop, although like most bait shops, some of the basics can be a little pricey compared to big box stores. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is the limited selection for more advanced anglers. If you're looking for specialized tackle, premium gear, or a wider variety of fishing components, you may find the inventory somewhat limited. Overall, it's a great local shop for a quick stop, live bait, basic supplies, and friendly service. David's customer service alone made the visit worthwhile.

TL;DR Managment/ownership treats customers and employees terribly, would not spend money here…read more Repeat bad experiences, I'd rather buy online than go back in this store. As an avid adventurer of the western US, I tend to visit outdoor stores wherever I travel to see what their idea of adventure is there and take the chance to upgrade gear that's frustrating to use or worn out over time. I've visited Bill Jackson's on two separate occasions now, heading in each time with about $500 worth of gear in mind to shop for. The first time I came, I got great help from multiple associates and planned to purchase gear off of their advise, but witnessed a confrontation between management and an associate that I recall as mild but disruptive enough it made me leave the store without buying anything. I didn't come back for about 8 months. Now I'm back in town for a few weeks of work before heading on a 2,700 mile bikepacking journey and really needed to grab a few items I hoped they'd have in stock. Being interesting in all outdoor activities, I started talking with an associate about the ski shop they were building the last time I was here. He keyed in that I had ski knowledge from my time tuning skis and custom fitting ski boots out west and started talking to me about part time work as they expected to need some extra hands with ski knowledge and took me to show me their ski selection. To get there, we had to walk through an area that he explained was sectioned off for an upcoming sale, so not yet available, but the necessary route to the still-open ski shop. He made a pretty good case for their ski shop and my wheels were turning about coming to help them out in the fall. On our way back through the sale area, I asked a question about the items we were walking past and the associate was very clear that those items were not available for sale until the official sale start date, but took the opportunity to educate me about them(I knew very little about diving equipment but am curious to learn). I was quickly convinced that a decent snorkeling kit was necessary equipment to enjoy the area and decided I'd get a setup. Before he got a chance to redirect me to where the currently available snorkeling gear was(I could tell it was coming, this area was also tiny compared to the sale area), an angry manager/owner appeared ready to tear apart the kind and helpful associate that had just taught me what I needed to know to spend an extra couple hundred dollars on top of the items I was already planning. I hurriedly left the area while she continued to holler at me and once I passed the threshold of that room I heard her resume berating the associate in anger. I walked myself over to the full price scuba stuff and found another helpful associate, but I could not bring myself to buy anything from this store after that experience. It was not unreasonable for her to ask us to move along since we had stopped in a place we were meant to pass through, but she was incredibly rude to the associate for going above and beyond to take care of an enthusiastic customer. I won't spend money here, that manager is the most unkind person I've encountered since I've been in Tampa. In a town of incredibly kind people, there is no place for that. Very sad, I really wanted to like this store. The associates seem to be knowledgeable and passionate about the outdoors, but they don't deserve to be treated that way.

While I was paying I over heard a conversation with an other employee, he questioned her why was she lacing sneakers! And she responded calmly and respectfully because that's the thing to do. His response was something among the lines of "not if a store is full." I just want to point out sometimes it's not about quantity but QUALITY! Aside of us who give reviews and see which employees and stores give great customer services! With this being said I hope her boss gives her a shout out! And congratulates her for her work ethics!

I had a question about some pricing and he had to call the manager over, "OJ." I simply asked about some pricing because I felt like the price was a bit high and when I mentioned some comparisons he became extremely rude and offended. They were also tuning a special that if you signed up for text notifications you can get a 15% off coupon. I was using their QR code and showing him it wasn't working and he gave me a very hard time about it saying it's my phone and all this stuff. I simply just said you're clearly seeing I'm doing what you're telling and it's not working. It was overall a very odd exchange for no reason. The kid at the register actually apologized for his managers behavior after "OJ" walked away. The only person there that is worth working with is the GM, Steve. Go to a PGA Tour Superstore or a family owned business. This place has gone down hill.
