Big Al's Sinker & Lure Shop

At Big Al's we like to help our customers catch more and bigger fish. Equipment is the key to success. Choose the right rod, reel, line, hook, bait and lure. You may be one of the lucky few to catch that lake record, state record or at the very least have pictures and stories for your children and grandchildren. Also, be patient and take the time to look for those big ones.  I don't know it all and I learn something new every day.  We help teach proper knot tying and show customers different ways to rig  bait up for success at catching the big ones. Nice Flat Head, Graham.

Big Al's is now an American Rod and Gun Dealer and Bass Pro Dealer.  If we dont have it in the shop, I can get it overnight.

c We have a good selection of rods - large, medium and small - including custom hand made rods.

Big Al's has the American Nite Stick - 10', 12', 15' lengths - both in spin cast and bait cast.  Also, Meat Hunters in 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 footers in both spin cast and bait cast. We also have one piece solid 13' Meat Hunters, and Eagle Claws in 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 ft. - both in spin cast and bait cast.
Big Al's also has custom hand made rods in sizes ranging from 7' to10' in medium, heavy action catfish/striper rods, both one and two piece with  heavy Fuji boat rod eyes and Fuji reel seats, both bait cast and spin cast with color hand wraps in 12 colors. Contact Big Al's for custom size and colors. Also, your name can be put on the rod.  I have some in stock, but allow 2-4 weeks for custom one of a kind orders. Come visit us and take a look at these rods that I have sold for two years.  My customers are very happy with them and I can tell you that the man who makes them knows what he is doing.  I rate his rods 5 stars.

The same man crafts these custom crappie rods. The top illustrated rod handle is stained wood (various types of wood) with a crappie inlay, Fuji eyes, Fuji reel seat.  These two are 9 1/2 ft., 2 piece, custom hand finish - a must see. The bottom rod has a Tenessee cork handle, Fuji eyes, Fuji reel seat and a custom hand finish.  This one is a fantastic crappie rod and the action on both of these rods is top notch. I also have one with a floating reel seat (to balance the reel perfectly), 9 1/2', Fuji eyes and a reel seat custom hand wrapped handle. Also, I have an 8' Fuji eyes and reel seat standard handle with custom finish. All four of these rods are in my shop, but not for long. I have used  top of the line Browning and Falcon rods, but these rods put them to shame in my opinion - and for less money.  If you love to crappie fish and reach around brush to hook big slab crappie, one of these rods would be a great gift - FOR YOURSELF!
Nice Crappie
Big Al's has a nice selection of bass rods: Falcon, Shimano, Ugly Sticks, Eagle Claw, Daiwa and others. If we dont have it in stock, I can have it in your hands within 48 hrs., some times overnight - depending on when you order it.  I also deal with Bass Pro, American Rod & Gun and about forty other companies to get the rod you want.This customer prefers Shimano reels and Big Al's lures for catching monster bass.
Come in and see what we have.

Support your local bait shops.  We continually offer new products and our service is unparalleled.  We are open seven days a week and holidays to serve you.  I appreciate your support and in turn I support you, my customers, by expanding our product selection and emphasizing customer service.  Without your patronage we wouldn't be here.  My Mom and Dad operated this shop for over 40 years and I am keeping the dream alive; making an honest living and hoping to make them proud.  So a big thank you goes out to our customers for your continuing support and fish stories!

Dad sure loved to eat fresh catfish and I always kept him supplied.  We all miss him and the great jokes he always told the boys.
