Good prices but very limited selection. Don't make the mistake of saying anything negative about Biden, she is a hard-core fan. Wouldn't have expected a screaming liberal, but there you go.

I’ve been going to this bait shop since I was about 6 years old. Ol’ man mr Gus RIP has taught me a lot about fish hooks what to use during certain times of the season and what bait to use. He had a lot of knowledge I will always go to this bait shop. They have the healthiest red worms, nightcrawlers and wax worms when available. As a matter of fact they have the best worms in the entire city of Fayetteville and beyond don’t waste your money buying Walmart worms. Love this bait shop

It wasn't a big place , I was not sure about the place when I first drove up but glad I went in . The lady was super nice the prices were very good and had several items I haven't seen before wish I had gotten more stuff. My big recommendation is she needs better lights inside. The worms I got looked way better outside! If the light was better I would have definitely bought more !!!

Nice selection, more convenient for me than having to drive to the other side of town or paying mark up prices at big chains. Good selection of bait and tackle. They were open on Sunday thank the lord. Only downside is credit card machine can get hung up if somebody’s on the phone so make sure you have cash just in case. Great guy by the way

I just called inquiring about purchasing bloodworms from this "bait shop". The seasoned lady that answered the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE!!!!! Her response to me was, "Why would we sell those. We're inland not on the coast." she didn't offer any alternative, just her negative response. I won't be visiting this shop and I suggest everyone else that may be considering to proceed with caution.

Best bait shop in town and great lady. If you are a beginner or novice this lady has experience to offer to all. She even has live and frozen eels. Don't waste your time elsewhere, support small business/genuine people.

Gus's is a small, local, family owned bait shop. The owner is a very sweet older lady that is full of information about the items that she carries. At this time, this is the only place that minnows can be purchased on this side of town. I hope they remain open for many years to come!!!

Good small place for fishing bait. Almost couldn’t find it at first as maps took me further then I needed to go but there’s some decorations up front that mark out the place
