Hey everyone just wondering if anyone knows any good tackle shops in Illinois that carry "good stuff". I live in the quad cities area and the best options we have are Field and Stream or K and K True Value in Bettendorf. Both carry a lot of good stuff but I would love to find some more tackle stores around the state that carry a good selection. Let me know if you know of a place and give me the location. I am willing to travel maybe take a day trip to look at somewhere new. Thanks!
Mikes Tackle World I hear about all the time in Decatur.
Presleys in Bartonville
Dunns in Marion

I visit K&K in Bettendorf several times a year, Great selection and excellent staff. If you get down by peoria definitely try Presleys Outdoors in Bartonville. Decent size fishing department, very good firearm selection with knowledgeable staff. Tons of hunting stuff. Large selection of outdoor clothing. Also has huge archery department and an indoor range.
Look up Mikes Tackle World in Decatur on YouTube. Several guys have done videos inside Mikes..you’d be shocked at how much product is stuffed inside.

Lol..yep it’s a very well stocked shop. JoAnne is always behind the counter and the kids help a lot. Mike passed several years ago.
