    Grand Rapids tackle shops?

    Any local tackle shops worth visiting in the Grand Rapids area. On a business trip and I like to visit local tackle shops when I am in an area.

    Al and Bobs is no longer in downtown and their new location is on 68th street and 131. It must be under new ownership or something cause it’s very disappointing.

    The owner of al &Bob's passed away this spring. The entire team has not changed, just a new owner consolidating locations. New location is 5 min down the freeway, it's a nice store with the same great selection they had before. It's taken them a while to get everyone done since they moved, but it's still the same store and day to day is run by the same people. And it was never downtown, it was in the hood. The new location is a lot nicer.

    Another good shop to check out is the outdoorsmen pro shop in jenison.

    yeah 32nd and division. the "hood" might be a bit of an embellishment lol, but the new location is much less sketchy!
