One actually demonstrated how to use the drag system for one of his poles. This is just a great local spot that we just love going into. Don't go to Dick's or bass pro shop.

Their stock seems to vanish faster than free pizza at a party. Their shoe selection especially, could use a serious upgrade. They're missing a bunch of the usual suspects you know the popular brands and styles you see everywhere. Think of it more as a quickstop shop. Great if you need baseball socks in a hurry or a water bottle to quench your thirst But if you're on a specific mission, particularly for shoes, it's probably a good idea to check their website or give them a quick ring beforehand to see if they have what you're looking for

Bedford Sales & Outdoors which is recently under new ownership needs vast improvement in the…read moreService area. I needed my thirty year Johnson 4.5 HP outboard serviced, as i have done every year Spring. (My previous tech retired so I though I would try Bedford.) I called this AM and spoke to the receptionist and told her the age and the brand. She was polite and said she would have to check with Service. She returned to the phone and told me it would be no problem for them. I had to drive an hour to Bedford only to be told by their Service that they would not work on a Johnson that old. I asked if they could at least change the lower unit lube and they suggested I just do it myself. So on my return trip home, I called the receptionist and she remembered very well her affirmation to me that they would work on my outboard! She said she would make it right and put me on hold. She got the owner to talk to me and the owner said there is nothing they can do for me. I'm 72 years old and this is the first bad review I have posted to social media.

This place is beyond a joke. I brought my vexus dvx 20 in to have the livewell fixed (wouldn't…read moredrain), fix a navigation light that wouldn't turn on, and realign the windshield which wouldn't open and close correctly without rubbing. I dropped my boat off the first week of January 2023. It is now March 22nd 2023 and I still don't have my boat back. 2.5-3 mo the to fix 3 very basic things. My dealership in Wisconsin which I purchased the boat from told me to go get my boat and drop it off to them and they would have it ready in 3-4 days and that's with installing a new trolling motor I purchased from them. I will never bring my boat to Bedford ever again nor would I recommend anyone else to do so.

Lee's Bait and Tackle is one of the best stores for live bait and tackle in Northern Illinois hands…read moredown, in my humble opinion! it always has a lively assortment of live bait. I even stop here when i go on longer trips to the Illinois River because of the reliability and the quality of the live bait. The Hours of Operation are really functional for the avid fisherman. They are open 6:00 AM-8:00 PM M-F; 5:00 AM-8:00 PM SAT and 5:00-6 PM on SUN. It should be noted that I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH LEE'S IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM---I AM JUST AN AVID FISHERMAN!!! I believe that any store, small or large that caters to their customers the way Lee's does, deserves praises. Being open at 5 AM makes Lee's a great Place weather you are fishing locally or going to the river! Note, it was miss-categorized as a pet shop but i fixed that. Pet owners, you can still find better live food at Lee's than Pet Stores, so keep coming here!
