Wholesale Fishing Tackle for Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Bait Shops: Virginia to Maine

Striper water, fluke water, tog water. The species change north of Virginia, but the terminal tackle a bait shop sells does not change as much as you would think. Florida Tackle Supply ships wholesale to bait and tackle shops from the Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf of Maine.

What we supply north of the Carolinas

  • Circle hooks. Non-offset circle hooks are required for bait fishing for striped bass along the Atlantic coast, and every striper shop from Virginia to Maine sells them by the box. We carry the full size ladder.
  • Jig heads for fluke and sea bass; assist hooks for jigging.
  • Fluorocarbon and mono leader in the heavy tests the striper and tuna crowd want.
  • Spoons and metal for bluefish and Spanish mackerel blitzes.
  • Ball-bearing swivels, snaps and weights for trolling and bottom fishing.
  • Cast nets for bunker and mullet.
  • Offshore: trolling lures, cedar plugs and mahi feathers for the canyons; deep-drop rigs for tilefish; heavy rigs for sharks.
  • Red drum, cobia and speckled trout gear for Virginia and Maryland, where the Chesapeake fishes more like the South every year.

The Chesapeake Bay, the Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach: striped bass, red drum, cobia, speckled trout, flounder and a serious offshore fleet out of Rudee Inlet and Ocean City.

Delaware Bay, Cape May, Barnegat and the Jersey surf: striper and bluefish in spring and fall, fluke and sea bass all summer, tog in the cold months, and canyon tuna.

Montauk, the Sound, the Cape, Rhode Island and Maine: striped bass first and last, bluefish, fluke, sea bass, tog, and bluefin close to the beach some years.
