Benicia Bait & Tackle

The server was nice, the place looked clean, I was super excited to try. Halfway through my burrito (that was good btw) I pulled out a grey hair, and I am so sad. Really would have liked to have a new place to go.

They treat me like family greatest baitshop n Pam the owner is such a angel. The bait shop is like my second home. They handle good business so be nice n they will treat you good.

People in here are awesome! Super friendly and helpful. I love this bait shop. Support your local business!

After moving back to town after 30 years, I was so glad to see that this place was still open. Got my license, sturgeon tags, and I feel like I'm really back home. Fish on!

Buy LOCAL! No need to go to those big superstores like "W"! Based upon the season this shop has everything you need to get started. Recently picked up crabbing this season and was able to buy everything I needed: snares, lines, swivels, nets , bait boxes etc all at a better price than the big shops.And the service? Friendly and willing to lend advice ...

I am a Benicia residence and I used to buy my bait at Benicia Bait & Tackle but since the Corona Virus Pandemic started, their attitude in answering phone call is way more that unacceptable due to bad manners and bad attitude in answering calls from customers.With that being said, I buy my bait from Norm's Bait & Tackle in Vallejo and Virgil Bait & Tackle in Suisun. These mentioned stores are very polite, respectful and honest.I only go to Benicia if the owner lady named Pam is around and I gave her tips for being polite, respectful and honest person. The other guys attitude are sucks!

I called in advance to make sure ghosts shrimp was available and the store clerk said he has a bunch. I get there and I say I wanted 5 dozens of ghosts shrimp. I didn't know how big they were, so I asked and he said they were big!so I changed my mind to 4 dozen and qtr grass shrimp. As he brought the bait out, I ask to look at the ghost shrimp, I realize some were small and dying so I ask for another 1 dozen. Basically making it 5 dozen. Remind you I'm going on a boat trip with few friends. He tells me no that I can't buy another dozen!! What was the reason? I'm disappointed and upset about this. Specially since ghost shrimp is 15$ a dozen. I spent 75$ just on bait and he doesn't want to sell me another dozen for what reason? And then I ask why? He told me they are reserved but I can tell he was lying because he was going to sell me 5 dozens before hand. He also says he doesn't want to sell out because it's rest of the ghost shrimp for the week. I thought bait shops would want to sell you all there bait if it's available for their customers. Rude customer services and wasting peoples time because the store clerk has a big ego.

Every time we go there we're greeted by a grumpy guy that probably has hang over or who cares.will only sell u quarter pound of grass when he says he had plenty Fk that guy stay away from him have nothing against when Pam and Curtis were opening always nice but this guy screw him I will be sure to tell everyone I know in fishing industry to stere far away from him been to other bait shops always great with good mrng not a grumpy old drunnnk??

Been coming here since I was a young kid my dad taken me there and I go nowhere else they have it all

The guy behind the counter is matter of fact and straight forward. Tells ya how it is, you gotta like that. I always find what I need and they help with what they can. I enjoy going to a bait shop that reminds me of my childhood. Keep it up!
