From live minnows to pro-grade rods, we outfit anglers for Table Rock, Lake Taneycomo, and every hidden creek between them.
The Bait Shop isn't a big-box store with aisles of guesswork. We're your neighbors in Stockton — people who know which lure works on Table Rock in October and what minnows bite hardest on a murky Taneycomo morning.
Whether you're casting your first line or you've got a trophy bass hanging in your garage freezer, we've got the gear, the bait, and the advice to make your next trip count.
From the hook to the cooler, we stock the gear serious anglers trust.
Minnows, crickets, worms, and cut bait — replenished daily for peak freshness on every trip.
Spinning, baitcasting, and fly rods for every species. We'll help you match gear to your target.
Soft plastics, crankbaits, jigs, hooks, line, and everything in between from the brands you trust.
Keep your catch cold and your tackle organized. Bags, vests, pliers, and more.
Missouri fishing licenses available right here. Don't head to the lake without one.
Not sure what's biting? Ask us. We check the lakes daily and give it to you straight.
Easy to spot, easy to park. Pull in any time during business hours.
