From fresh bait to quality rods, reels, and tackle — we've got your gear covered so you can focus on what matters: the catch.
J & R Bait n Tackle Shop has been a trusted part of the Ogdensburg community for years. We started as a small family operation with one simple goal: give local anglers a place that understands what they need before they do.
Whether you're casting on the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, or a quiet pond up the road, we stock the gear that works for your waters. Our shelves are filled with trusted brands, and our advice is always free.
From your first rod to your favorite setup — we carry the products you can count on, season after season.
Spinning, casting, fly — whatever your style, we have the right rod and reel combo for the species you're after.
Worms, minnows, crickets, and more — kept fresh and ready so you're never caught without a lure for the bite.
Hard baits, soft plastics, jigs, hooks, leaders — the complete selection to build or refresh your tackle box.
Life jackets, anchor line, coolers, fish finders, and everything else to keep you safe and comfortable on the water.
Monofilament, braided, fluorocarbon — in every test weight and color. Plus leaders, swivels, and connectors.
When the St. Lawrence freezes over, we've got augers, shelters, tip-ups, and warm gear to keep you on the ice.
Best bait shop in the area — they always have what I need, and the guys behind the counter actually fish. You can't beat that.
Located on Brown Road, just off NY Route 37 — easy to find, easy to park.
