Master Bait and Tackle is a family-owned, full-service bait and tackle shop located in Bonita Springs, FL – a vacation town with a serious fishing problem. We’ve been helping locals and snow birds catch bigger fish since 1994. We hope our humorous shirts and hats provide a few laughs, protection from the sun, and a reminder of great memories spent fishing or on the beach.

Bonita Springs is conveniently located between Naples and Fort Myers. If you’re visiting Southwest Florida, we hope you stop in and share a fish story with us. We’re committed to selling world-class bait and tackle with fast and friendly service. If one of our employees gives you their “honey hole”, don’t trust em!
