If you need advise on weapon selection, look elsewhere. They should remember sometimes customers come in a bit intimidated by the whole gun experience. They shouldn't make people feel stupid for not knowing everything. Take time to educate them in a non-insulting way. I find their approach to customers offensive and rude. I for one won't be going back. Its a shame really. I've lost track on how much I've spent here. My money and I deserves way better treatment than Cheyenne. You do to.

Bass Pro Shops in Atlantic City is honestly one of the most unexpected and entertaining stops on…read morethe boardwalk. What used to be the old Revel casino has been completely transformed into a massive outdoor-themed retail experience, and it's way more impressive than you'd expect from a "store." The moment you walk in, you're greeted with huge aquariums, waterfalls, and towering displays of wildlife that make it feel more like a nature museum than a shop. Even if you're not into fishing or hunting, it's hard not to be impressed by the scale and attention to detail. The giant fish tank alone is worth the visit. The store itself is packed with everything from outdoor gear and clothing to boats and camping equipment. It's easy to wander around for a long time just exploring each section, and there's always something interesting to look at or try out. The layout is spacious and surprisingly relaxing for such a large retail space. Overall, Bass Pro Shops Atlantic City is more of an experience than a shopping trip. Whether you're a serious outdoors person or just curious, it's a fun and unique place to check out while you're in the area.

If you are going on a party boat you can grab some extra rigs and weights, if you fishing near the marina or surf fishing they have all the live and frozen bait + lures you will need. They even have rods and reels for sale. Best part is they have boats to rent that you can take around in the Shark River. They are small (16ft) and have like a 9 HP engine but get the job done to cruise around the river and do some fishing. Bring your patience if you are heading in there before the party boats head out (early morning) (2:30 pm) because it will be crowded in there but they move the line quickly.

I had questions about everything, from lures to reels, to rods. Brendan provided me with unsolicited information, about all of my possible purchases. He helped me realize that I was doing most of my fishing, in the way I should be doing it. I greatly appreciated the manner in which he was able to steer me, particularly to an awesome, Tsunami two piece surf rod. It is light weight, and easier on my wallet. Plus, various online reviews of the rod, have been stellar. Thanks! Since I am one of those older folk, who would still prefer to touch the merchandise, it is incredible that brick and mortar stores still exist. Thanks, Brendan! Tight lines!

116 DAYS WAITING FOR A $625 ROD -- latest requests unanswered…read more I ordered a $625 G. Loomis NRX+ Inshore 843S rod from TackleDirect on May 13, 2026, as part of a $1,301.55 order. The reel shipped separately. As of September 6--116 days later--I was still waiting for the rod. On May 19, customer service explained that the rod required additional vendor lead time and said their next manufacturer shipment would likely arrive "in a week or so." On June 5, it still hadn't arrived, and they offered cancellation. On June 8, they said they had no accurate ETA. On September 3, I gave them a straightforward solution: substitute a specific St. Croix rod only if physically in stock and ready to ship immediately; otherwise cancel the rod portion and refund it. I followed up again September 5. As of September 6, neither September message had received a response. I understand that manufacturer delays happen. Nearly four months without the rod, followed by silence when I request a concrete resolution, is unacceptable customer service. Based on this experience, I would not order from TackleDirect again.
