One of My Favorite Tackle Shops in Florida - Bridgemaster's The Fisherman's Candy Store

[@BravoBassin]

always love the mom and pop tackle shops you can always find some good stuff in them.

[@Alwayswatching8111]

You are right! They always have hidden gems on the shelf

[@ryanwhittaker7784]

No way I’m bout 20 minutes away awesome to see you on this side of town!

[@Flukemaster]

I go down there every year.

[@zenpyro5641]

My favorite place for fishing gear

[@bradmcdaniel9675]

SHOP LOCAL! We need you guys! Thanks for doing this bud.

[@jimamccracken5783]

Thanks for the shop tour always helpful. I do really appreciate you giving small businesses the benefit of your tours. I also like the idea of showing Kayekers how to be safe.

[@mandofishing0191]

I live in Lakeland and had no idea this place existed. Definitely will be making a trip down there soon.

[@zachg5356]

Dang that place looks awesome. I wish we had more Bass bait shops over here in west Pasco.

[@FishingwithAllyG]

grew up on bitter's! I have to check out this spot for sure!!!!

[@FishingwithAllyG]

They have a great little store too!

[@Jschuhfishing]

Glad to see you do this video, Bridgemasters gets a lot of me and my buddies’ paychecks. Hope you’re enjoying your time down here Gene.

[@piaoliang5467]

Awesome shop. I want to open one like that

[@stevenbartell8065]

Great video. I'll have to make the trip from Tampa to check this shop out.

[@zachg5356]

You know of any good shops on our side of the state? Tackle 44 is awesome but probably 2 hours north of you.

[@theoglesby7674]

Bridgemasters is a great place to stop on your way to Lake Kissimmee.

[@seangullo5340]

They used to have boxes full of locally poured flukes that they sold by the pound, if I remember correctly. I'm a North Alabama guy that spent a lot of time working in that area, so of course I was flinging a fluke every chance I got, and this store was a gold mine (not to mention how many good Guntersville fish I caught back home on Bitters speed tail worms from here).

[@shawnbeck2303]

Some people go to Art Museum's, Car Collection's and Park's. But, I love Old Bait and Tackle Stores. I could spend hours and hundreds of dollars. In these places. Fishing has so much to offer. Bottom, Middle and Topwater fishing. Soft plastics and Hard baits. Line, Reel's and Rod's. It goes on and on. I bank fish. I have one special fishing lure bag. That covers just about every situation in fishing. 6 Rod's and Reel combo's. There just something about the Tackle Stores. Thanks for the Great videos. Shawn

[@Flukemaster]

I totally agree. I'd love to see a video on your tackle bag.

[@Cornelius798]

Wow, that store is rockin' !

[@af4od02]

Thanks for the video. I will check them out this spring.

[@BucktailFishing]

Oh my! Looks like the Florida equivalent of Susquehanna Fishing Tackle 😍

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video looks like they have just about anything you need or want

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

If I was in a bait store and the door flung open with “The Flukemaster” holding the door! 🤯😭 I’m going full fan mode for a second

[@zachg5356]

Hey!!! Did you bring that extra kayak??😅

[@reeljourney]

The candy store. That's a good one

[@matthewhjort5021]

Yeah I live 5 minutes from them it’s great

[@jeffflinton7540]

One of the only real tackle shops left in this area!!

[@Flukemaster]

Agreed.

[@carterrobert7063]

Love the editing on the new videos - the gta reference was fantastic 😂

[@stevesmith7164]

[@plantcitychuck2551]

[@golfstud88]

[@d-money5976]

I caught that too..... Is there a back story to that comment ??... I aint crazy bout the googans neither but didnt know Big Jean had some bad blood..

[@dustinharris8828]

You can joke about a 20ft diving crank but I live in NE Florida and we’ve got lake that’s are 20+ft, Went fishing yesterday and the deepest part of the lake we were on was around 43ft😂

[@Flukemaster]

I've been to those lakes. You ain't lying. They spawn that deep on Kingsley.

[@dustinharris8828]

@@Flukemaster that’s awesome that you’ve had a chance to fish Kingsley. I live about 20-30 mins from there but haven’t been able to get onto the lake because i don’t know anyone in the military🤷🏼‍♂️ but I’ve talked to FWC and they say there are possibly some record size fish in that lake! If your ever up this way and need a someone local hmu 🤙🏻

[@Arientis]

Reject big chain stores, buy from local small businesses!

[@odiesclips7621]

Mom and pop shop??? Must be $50 million inventory.
