Wholesale Fishing Tackle for Gulf Coast Bait Shops: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama

Different state, same fish. The redfish tailing in a Louisiana marsh, a Texas lagoon or Mobile Bay eat the same jig head and the same circle hook as the ones on the Sarasota flats. Florida Tackle Supply builds tackle for Gulf water and ships it wholesale to bait and tackle shops from Brownsville to the Alabama line.

What turns on Gulf coast counters

  • Popping corks, jig heads and soft-plastic hooks for trout and redfish in the marsh, bays and lagoons. This is the year-round core of a Gulf tackle shop.
  • Circle hooks and fluorocarbon leader for live-bait fishing at the jetties, passes and rigs.
  • Cast nets for mullet, pogies and shrimp. Bait is the reason the customer walked in; the net is the reason he comes back.
  • Pompano and surf rigs for the Alabama and Mississippi beaches and the Texas surf.
  • Offshore: snapper and grouper bottom rigs, kingfish and mahi trolling gear, deep-drop rigs and weights for the Louisiana canyons and the Texas rigs.
  • Shark rigs for the surf and pier crowd.
  • Sabikis, weights, swivels and snaps: the pegboard basics you can never let run out.

By state

Texas

Galveston and Sabine to the Laguna Madre and Port Isabel: trout and redfish in the bays, jetty fishing, the surf, and offshore snapper. Wade fishermen want light jig heads and corks; the jetty and pier crowd wants heavy circle hooks, shark rigs and sinkers.

Louisiana

The marsh from Venice to Cocodrie to Lake Charles is the redfish capital of the country. Shops here move jig heads, corks and leader by the case, and the offshore fleet needs bottom rigs, deep-drop gear and trolling lures for the rigs and canyons.

Mississippi

Biloxi, Gulfport, Pass Christian and the barrier islands: trout, redfish and flounder, and a strong pier and surf trade for whiting, pompano and sharks.

Alabama

Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach: inshore trout and redfish, the Gulf State Park pier, and one of the busiest red snapper seasons on the coast. Pompano rigs in spring, snapper rigs and circle hooks all summer.
