I recently stumbled upon Northern Outfitter Bait Shop, and I have to say, it's an absolute…read morenecessity! In downtown Grand Rapids this place offers everything a fishing enthusiast could dream of, combined with trendy outdoor apparel that would make any fashion-forward adventurer swoon. Firstly, the selection of bait is pretty good. Whether you're looking for live bait or lures, they've got it all. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help you find exactly what you need to reel in the big one. Their expertise and friendliness make shopping here a breeze, even if you're new to fishing. They carry a wide range of trendy brands, including Patagonia. Whether you're gearing up for a day on the lake or just want to look stylish while exploring the great outdoors, you'll find something that catches your eye. The quality and variety of their clothing are impressive, with options for every season and activity. And let's talk about the Yeti merchandise! If you're a fan of Yeti, this is the place for you. They have an incredible array of colors and products, from coolers to drinkware, all designed to keep your gear cool and your drinks even cooler. It's a one-stop shop for all things Yeti, and the vibrant color selection makes it easy to find something that suits your style.

Overall, Northern Outfitter Bait Shop combines the best of both worlds - top-quality fishing gear and trendy outdoor apparel with the comfort and easiness of a small town shop. It's the perfect place to stock up on essentials for your next adventure while looking good doing it. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. My personal favorite is Bennet Francis the sleepy dog at the counter. He is so sweet, gentle and laid back. He's just happy to be there and catch some z's.

Their prices range depending on what you're looking for, but everything is quality. The salesman, Grant, was so helpful and knowledgeable. We didn't check the weather forecast before traveling up to Grand Rapids, and were going to be SOL before finding Thousand Lakes. Everyone in the fam ended up getting a pair of Grundens boots, rain gear, and hats. Bonus: they have a shop dog who is sweet as can be!

We were staying at Lake Bemidji state park and they took the time to set up a rod for us and recommended some nearby fishing spots. So patient and kind!

You can stop for gas, but if you go inside, they will have more than you could think of. They have live bait. They have lots of plastic bait. I found the bargain bin for something fun to fish with. The funny thing was that we kept asking if they knew about the local lake we were fishing at, and they didn't really know anything about it. So they weren't that helpful finding the fish.

They also carry multiple options within each department which allows you a variety of choices to help fit your needs. The staff are pretty exceptional for the most part, greeting you as you pass and offering assistance to ensure you find what you need. The pricing is also pretty completive on most items as well. Anyway, good find and a store that has been in regular rotation for me and mine prior to this whole COVID concern.

I checked out and left, underwhelmed but not overly discouraged. being so small I would have expected them to do more to ensure the customer experience was better due to the competition they have in town - I would not let that experience deter me from returning though....
