Lure hunting at PHOENIX FISHING SUPPLY tackle shop (WALK THRU)

I just love local, privately owned tackle shops! This week we head to Phoenix, Arizona, to check out Phoenix Fishing Supply, the state's most complete freshwater, saltwater, and fly fishing store. Since 1987 Phoenix Fishing Supply has been the angler's go-to for rods, reels, hooks, tackle and bait. This amazing tackle shop has an incredible selection of locally made lures such as Gary Yamamoto, 5010 Plastics, Arizona Custom Baits, and Persuader spinnerbaits, as well as some local bait makes that may be new to you including Gary Senft's Thin Wire Spinnerbaits, Copper State Baits, and Lure Maker Custom Baits. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly, so even when the bass aren't biting, it's worth a trip inside. And if you can't make it to Phoenix, just give them a call and they will ship anything you saw in this video! Special thanks to Goudy, Alexis, and Gary for showing me around the shop...and feeding me lunch!

It's so fitting to release a retro bassin video on SATURDAY MORNING....considering how retro/sentimental Saturday morning's are for people my age :) Saturday morning fishing with pops, Saturday morning cartoons...as a kid Saturday mornings were the absolute best time of the week. Thank you!

[@Stumpjack]

I hadn't thought of that! That must be why I look forward to each new episode every Saturday morning. Brilliant observation!

[@RetroBassin]

Yeah, that ain’t no accident. I spent a lot of time researching the “best” time to upload videos on KZbin, then I decided to forget all that and just post them at the same time as my favorite fishing shows growing up: Saturday morning. Rising with the morning sun, I got no work today…

[@egomaniac247]

My son and I are going fishing with Gary Senft Wednesday, this is our 4th trip in the last 7 months with him. He’s “The Best” guide around!

[@Old-School-Bassin]

The Best because Gary is “Old School”, I love his old Fishing shows from the 80’s and 90’s!

Love the tackle shop Vids

We’ll keep ‘em coming!

I never thought I would wake up for my favorite Saturday morning ritual with a Gerardo reference. Love it, lol. Rico..........suave. And I love that bait as well, walking the dog is 100% my favorite top water presentation. As always, a great vid. Keep them coming!

I would have love to have met some of those bait makers!

These tackle shop tours are my favorite! Thank you

Mine too! These great shops deserve a lot more exposure than they get on the Tube!

The fisherman's fishing supply shop. NICE FUN AND everything a fisherman needs. Yes you have to love it

[@RetroBassin]

It’s the kind of shop you’d stop on even if you didn’t need gear!

[@DsTackleBox]

"Old is good!" that's correct! As always, great video and information!

[@RetroBassin]

Hope’d you catch that! Old IS good.

Heck I’m from Montana and I’ve been in that store at least a dozen times. Nice people who work there. I think I’ll wear my Phoenix fishing supply shirt today.

[@RetroBassin]

Yeah buddy, me too!

[@henryschmidt636]

Never had a popper that spit instead of popped. They look top notch. Roland Martin uses those 7" Senkos alot in my local waters.

I hope to be fishing those same local waters in a few weeks!

No way! That's my shop. :D The local baits are so good I rarely buy online. And, Rico Suave wasn't THAT bad.... (ok, maybe it was).

It’s a bucket list stop for me!!!

[@TerryBattisti1]

The poppers are Rico's and Rio Rico's and the long walking bait is the Suave a play on Rico Suave. :-). They've been around since the mid 90s.

[@phain3]

What a great shop! Those clear blue drop shot worms look like they would slay.

[@RetroBassin]

Yes they do! Icy goodness right there…

[@aarondavis8224]

Thats an awesome store. I'm an Arizona native and grew up in Tucson. I've since moved to the south but this brings back memories for me of my teenage years

[@RetroBassin]

I just love the Arizona flair of all those lures!

[@aarondavis8224]

@@RetroBassin Arizona Custom baits makes some great baits they make awesome colors also. My favorite hard bait of all time in Arizona was the Heddon torpedo. I've caught too many to count on the torpedo.

[@aarondavis8224]

I might have to give them a call and order some of the Arizona customs. They are fairly difficult to find a good selection outside of Arizona

[@wilmawife]

You're like a little kid in a candy store, and I don't blame you one bit. I retired yesterday after 55 years of slog and hope to get more retro lure hunting done, my problem is in Ontario there aren't to many old thyme stores any more.

[@RetroBassin]

Congrats on retiring, David! Seek and you’ll find a few.

[@Darkman-Fishing]

Excellent excellent episode!!! These are my favorite

I bought a 300.00 rod from them. I live in Az and thought that shop was pretty nice for bass supplies. They had a really cool decked out Jackson kayak as well

Westy's baits are a mainstay in AZ. Made by Dan Westphal. He started out with the Westy Worm which was a rigged worm on a leadhead. It was and still is a must have for fishing the AZ lakes. He made mostly jig worms but did other baits as you saw. He was also an amazing tournament angler and fished in the era when John Murray was growing up fishing in AZ. Lots of history there. Great video Retro!

[@RetroBassin]

I put two and two together after I got home. How old do you think those buzzbaits were?

[@tinocairo6605]

Check out liars korner in Mesa Arizona. Its been around since the early 1980s, mostly sell the new stuff but they might have some old tackle

[@RetroBassin]

Added to the list and thank you, Toni!

[@robertnostrand147]

Hey Retro, check out the man's rattle spin. It was a spinnerbait with a hollow rattling Colorado plastic blade. I've always loved that lure!

I may have a few…

[@TylerSnyder305]

Do you ever get annoyed by those videos where you have some clueless kid trying to fish with vintage / old school gear as part of a dumb challenge or dare or something ? It's cool that they're trying out some classic stuff, but it's just a joke and a novelty to them. You always hear " it actually worked " or " I can't believe I just caught a fish with this " and it just makes me disappointed in my generation. They won't question the centuries old hook and worm , but somehow they question the possibility of catching a fish on an old Mitchell 300 ?

[@RetroBassin]

Sure, there’s some cringeworthy fishin’ content on the ol’ Tube, but there’s also a growing number of OG channels repoing it old school!
