Who We Are

Founded in 1994, Shiners - Sandy Hook Bait & Tackle has proudly served Delray Beach and the surrounding coastal communities for over three decades. What started as a simple passion has grown into a trusted, family-owned bait and tackle shop rooted in tradition, knowledge, and a deep love for fishing.

We specialize in both saltwater and freshwater bait, including our well-known shiners, live bait, night crawlers, and tickle bait. Our shop is fully stocked with essential fishing supplies such as rods, reels, braid fishing lines, hooks, weights, stainless steel leaders, fishing wire, land lures, and saltwater poppers. We also carry trusted brands like Mustad Fishing, Tackle Crafters, Eagle Claw, Owner Hooks, and Hayabusa Fishing to ensure quality you can count on.
