Tex's Tackle and Bait

Tex's Tackle and Bait Your total saltwater fishing connection for Southeastern North Carolina. Come check us out!

Locally owned and operated in Wilmington, we have a full line of the best tackle from the marsh to the 'stream. We believe that service, help, and sharing of knowledge is much more important than the sale itself.

Hey yall. I set a goal to get the store cleaned out some by Tomorrow. That being said, there is plenty of Mirrolure’s , offshore tackle by Blue Water Candy as well as other tackle. Thank you all for all the kind words. I will truly miss all of you even some local shops have reached out with their support. I don’t now know I can thank you enough. You guys mean the world to me. That being said. I’ll be open the same hours Saturday thru next Friday I have about 20-25 cases of small ballyhoo left. They are $16 dollars a pack. PLEASE. COME GET THEM. That freezer cost me over a $1000 per month to run. I am sitting here welling up from all the love and support all of you have giving me and my staff for 33 years. If nothing-else Pls come say hi. Thank you all.

As a lot of you know already, I am retiring and the store will be closing. Target date for the last day of business is Friday June 12. Everything in the store must be sold. All frozen bait (mostly ballyhoo and chum left) is 20% off. Purchase a case of ballyhoo with cash, get an additional discount. When it’s gone it’s gone. Everything else is 20% off thru out the store. Items with a handwritten tag are priced as marked. I am truly going to miss all of my great customers but after 33 years of business my body just can’t take walking on this concrete anymore. Thank you for all your support over the years. I have seen some you grow up from toddlers to fantastic fishermen and women. My employees have gone to other jobs. That’s why I reduced my hours. (8-1 Tuesday thru Friday and 7-12 Saturday). I hope to see y’all on the water. I’ll have time to go now.
THANK YOU ALL. ITS BEEN A GREAT RIDE.
