That is a great shop, since I’m from LA I’ve been there a ton of times. People there are friendly and knowledgeable, especially for Saltwater. They have so much good stuff.
Unfortunately shops like that are very rare, the few that were really old school are now closed either cause Tackle warehouse killed them or the owners past away. The four I use to go to all closed down even Sav on tackle, they used to have 3 shops now they only have the one you went to. The negative aspect of having online shopping. When the Owners pass no one around to take over or simply can’t compete. I was able to buy Worms that hadn’t been made since the 80’s and 90’s And every one Locally made. Robo worms just took over. I was buying Robo worms for over 30 years now so I remember when the Robo zipper worm came and dominated. Ive bought OG lews speed sticks Shimano made Lews speed reels Gary Klein’s weapons hooks, jigs with Vinyl skirts and so much more but those shops are now gone. Thinks that’s why I love when you visit old shops around the states cause we simply don’t have that anymore unless found by sheer luck
The world needs 1 of these old type fishing stores in every city ! I could live in their ! And the young gentleman helping you is a antique!! Cuz the younger generation only plays video games ! And they dont work ! Great video man !
I guess Roger wasn't there. Good to see you get to experience the area I grew up in. That shop has been around forever. I'll fill you in on more later. Great video!!
Looks like a great store! The last few years I always hit the independent shops before online or Bass Pro. I always find stuff that is not everywhere as well as local made baits too. SoCal is lucky to have this gem!
I live in LA but I'm moving in 2 months to Tennessee. The one thing I like about this area is the wall mart and sporting goods stores have horrible selections so the a bunch of these privately owned bait shops around that are awesome. I like supporting independent shops
Great lookin store! I'm almost done putting together the redemption tackle kit for ya lol I just added a bait that should make you "Dance" 😜 Cheers fella!
@@RetroBassin lmao well the short answer is its something I came up with a long time ago when ide do burnouts in my camaro ide call it Givin er the garlic 🤣 it's a fun way to say balls to the wall 😜
Always a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Keep up the great content man, we have to get you to 10k, then 20, then 50, then 100. You have the content, that's for sure. Hit that like button folks, let's get Chris where he should be!!!!
You can tell what kind of experience you are going to have the first few seconds in a tackle shop. These folks were all about helping and educating customers. So cool!
Awesome vlog all you needed to do is have PVC tube put the rods in it and cap the ends would have made it back fine and that tackle box was a great price 👍catch you next time
Dude, you've GOT to start planning for these wicked fun trips and discoveries. It would break my heart to find an old tackle shop like that one and not be able to take home a few rods. BTW, I've got that first rod you showed (or I should say my dad had it, it's mine now) - we used it and others like it salmon fishing in Lake Michigan many years ago. Maybe you could find a postal supply store when you hit a town and pick up a long cardboard tube and packing materials and mail a rod or two to yourself. Just a thought. Excellent episode!
Also, I love how the folks there have a full service shop. That's kind of rare these days. You could tell that the young man helping you knew his stuff and was passionate about it.
A retro I know it's not very old school but you have ever thought of getting an inflatable paddle is it an inflatable paddleboard and maybe a modern travel rod Something you can check on the plane or Chuck in the truck if you drive-in If you get a chance to go fishing you'll have it and plus because it's newer stuff it doesn't matter if it gets torn up so much cause they're still making it and it's replaceable
There should be a National Fishing Lure Historian, and it should be you. Either that or an Ambassador to Bass Pro Shops. Let me know when you want to record for the Lure Love Podcast!
Aaaw man ..Retro, yur from the chesepeake area????? Me too sir..little lower these days but we go striper and flounder fishing in the bay fairly often .. We catch flounder the size of a serving platter fairly regularly
Ahhh a bit north from me in VA... originally Hampton roads area. But, been in Richmond a while. But oh man .. the trips to the Bay.... Kinda what got me back into fishing again about a yr or 2 ago. That's and my marine buddy ...he got me hooked ( no pun intended) on Bass fishing. And I'm certain he's gunna get me on other species too.
@@patricktrous I always figured rootbeer is brown, motor oil is that greeny red (more green than red). I bet Sav-On has a couple rootbeer scampis around, never heard the bubbles theory (I like it) but the Scampis always had the flake back in the day. Calico bass killer
Roller guides aren't "old school"...anybody who does any offshore salt water fishing won't use a rod that doesn't have at least a roller tip and a roller bottom guide. And it's really easy to check full length fishing rods. I've checked 130lb IGFA boat rods many times, you just follow a different procedure
@@RetroBassin yea but that’s just more stuff to carry on with u u can get them just about any good bait shop did u get that rod the old school lews at the end of the video??? They don’t make them like that anymore looked like it would have been a jam up crank bait rod is the first thought threw my mind !!! One last thing did u try the blade dip we talked about last Saturday morning yet !! God bless

Been there a lots of times it is a great place
Would never expect my man to be shopping a my local store lol
Woulda been funny if you saw ol’ Retro in there! You’re lucky to live close!!
oh you found nice tacklebox !
Thank you, Teiji!
Such a cool shop-I wouldn’t be able to fly after buying a bunch of those loose swimbaits, hahah.
You shoulda seen the looks I got walking through the airport with that Bass Tamer!
Saturday morning fishing show!
Yeah, buddy!
I love how Hotel California starts playing in the background as you struggle with buying the Lews one piece rod. Many lyrical parallels to be drawn.
Man, was hoping that didn’t get the video demonetized! But yeah, you can check out any time you like but you can never leave….
The world needs 1 of these old type fishing stores in every city ! I could live in their ! And the young gentleman helping you is a antique!! Cuz the younger generation only plays video games ! And they dont work ! Great video man !
❤Omg, you visited my childhood tackle shop!
That's the same time card punch my dad had in his automotive shop till last year when it finally died. Glad to see others still using it
You know the Tackle shop is old school when they have one of those!
Man. That's one hell of a shop. Certainly a dying breed. I just don't see many places like that anymore. Not just fishing related, but in general.
Truly a gem! Think I need to go back and meet Bob…
Great job.
Cool shop and sweet carry on grab!
DANG Retro.... You scored on that tackle box. I'd luv that thing great for bank fishing on my river
I guess Roger wasn't there. Good to see you get to experience the area I grew up in. That shop has been around forever. I'll fill you in on more later. Great video!!
I need to make it back there and sit down with the man himself!
You scored on some of that tackle and definitely on that old school tackle box. Love that old Brown & Orange!
Matches my boat!
$14 for that tackle box is a steal! That’s a fraction of what it would go for on eBay. Great find 👍🏼
They gave it to me for $10!
From what I saw on the video i could spend all day, and all my money, in there.
Welcome to California, where we have millions of anglers and virtually no public water to fish
Looks like a great store! The last few years I always hit the independent shops before online or Bass Pro. I always find stuff that is not everywhere as well as local made baits too. SoCal is lucky to have this gem!

there are so many times i find myself signing your intro song in my head LOL love your channel man~ #RoadTo10k
Tom actually recorded a new song for us called Prankbaits…official music video coming soon!
Great video loved seeing the local brands. Never heard of this shop before definitely going.
Great lookin store! I'm almost done putting together the redemption tackle kit for ya lol I just added a bait that should make you "Dance" 😜 Cheers fella!
But you gotta tell me what “Give her the garlic” means!
@@RetroBassin lmao well the short answer is its something I came up with a long time ago when ide do burnouts in my camaro ide call it Givin er the garlic 🤣 it's a fun way to say balls to the wall 😜
These independent tackle store tour videos are always fun to watch! Keep these coming as often as possible.
Give me the name of a shop, and I’ll be there!
That was an amazing tour. What a great store with a very proud family running it. What a gem of a video that made my morning. Thanks 😊
Very glad I could capture a little bit of their passion, but I definitely need to go back!
Man I've been binge watching your channel for the last few days.love it!!
Those Aat worms go way back to the late 80s i knew of several local mom & pop shops that carried them in southern nj
I am really digging the 3 hook buZz bait. I want one. Great video
I think those swimbaits could tempt ‘em on Donkeyland!
@@RetroBassin I bet they would
My Man!
You’d dig this place, Olaf!
Still the best intro and intro jingle ever on the Tube
It’s for free download in video description!
That 40$ rod love to have for pike fishing thanks for taking us with you ,
Awesome..was just there a few days ago..
Haven’t been in a few years! Was the Lews still there? Haha
@RetroBassin haha not sure but I did stock up on Reyes swimbaits,Warbaits jigheads..and a few other items..great place👍
That is a sweet store!
Glad I went to Cali!
My grandpop's had that same Lew's rod back in the day
Love your channel dude!
Thanks for tuning in, Peter!
Always a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Keep up the great content man, we have to get you to 10k, then 20, then 50, then 100. You have the content, that's for sure. Hit that like button folks, let's get Chris where he should be!!!!
Thanks, Robert! We’ll keep on Chunkin’ and A-windin’ every Saturday!
Nice! I'm heading there today
No way, Dan! Man should have met you there!!
@@RetroBassin Next time you are out here We'll hook up 😆

Keeping it old school! That's what's up! Got some travel ahead but let's touch base and see you out here!
Ready to do some Texas pickin’!
@@RetroBassin yes sir!!

You should see if they can ship it
Time to invest in some mail ready rod tubes.
You’re tellin’ me!
um you can mail stuff to your self, UPS will even build the box for ya, Man I really wanted that Lews rod for myself It looked very sweet
I am sure some Bassin’ Bud is gonna grab it! And that in and of itself is pretty cool..
I wish they was here in Louisville Kentucky
I still have that exact same Plano tackle box lol
You never seen a time clock card lmao. Guess I’m old school too lol.
There’s always someone more old school!
@ RetroBassin ( auto correct put a space between retro and bassin)
Dang! Did you get an employee discount?

Time cards still exist in big companies. Easy to use. Just line up the stamp.

@@RetroBassin Great! I'll shoot you a text.
Aaaw man ..Retro, yur from the chesepeake area?????

We catch flounder the size of a serving platter fairly regularly
Yeah, buddy. Severna Park, Md.
Ahhh a bit north from me in VA... originally Hampton roads area.

Kinda what got me back into fishing again about a yr or 2 ago. That's and my marine buddy ...he got me hooked ( no pun intended) on Bass fishing. And I'm certain he's gunna get me on other species too.
Now you know what it means to have "punched the clock," a way of saying "went to work!"
Haha, indeed!
I can assure you that the hot dog lures should have been picked up. Believe you me.
You can fry an egg on those Teflon hooks and the egg won't stick!
next time your in LA go to Bobs Tackle in Norwalk not to far from that store.
Shoot! I was literally in LA last week…
Damn it man you've never had to punch in a time card? Lol
Assume old school store, you need to figure out how to ship some of that gold home!
Yes I do! Actually left everything but the Tackle box for future Bassin’ Buds.
I don't call it root beer unless it has gold fleck that represents the bubbles.
Definitely-Root beer is a little darker too
@@bayouburner281 yes it is
@@patricktrous I always figured rootbeer is brown, motor oil is that greeny red (more green than red). I bet Sav-On has a couple rootbeer scampis around, never heard the bubbles theory (I like it) but the Scampis always had the flake back in the day. Calico bass killer
@@chrisnietzel692 I was more leaning towards cocahoe minnow. Some are darker up top but still have a motor oil bottom with gold fleck all threw out.
@@chrisnietzel692 wish we could share pictures here
It's motor oil... Ok
Roller guides aren't "old school"...anybody who does any offshore salt water fishing won't use a rod that doesn't have at least a roller tip and a roller bottom guide. And it's really easy to check full length fishing rods. I've checked 130lb IGFA boat rods many times, you just follow a different procedure
You have to come back and surface iron fish for yellowtail and calico bass. Its bass fishing on steroids.
Dude...ship that lews pistol grip ceramic eyed rod home to Tx ur crazy to pass on that
That lees rod would be even better if it was a pistol grip 👍
I am still sad I left that Lews in Cali…
Thank you I can't watch your videos anymore my gut hurts so bad you with the old time card machine I just can't, just have them mail the rides to you
At least I got that tackle box home!
Gear video sad to see you all heartbroken 💔 not being able to take that pole home lol.
Do ROWBO warm in a Rowboat lol
Shoulda grabbed a few bags while I was there!
@@RetroBassin yea but that’s just more stuff to carry on with u u can get them just about any good bait shop did u get that rod the old school lews at the end of the video??? They don’t make them like that anymore looked like it would have been a jam up crank bait rod is the first thought threw my mind !!! One last thing did u try the blade dip we talked about last Saturday morning yet !! God bless
U should buy rods and ups ship them home lol
That cant ship rods?🤔
Should, woulda, coulda!
you could put in the mail and send it to yourself
You should have just mailed it to yourself
Well, hopefully some Bassin’ Bud made a good purchase today!
