Thread: The Tackle Box Closing

I'm sorry to report that the Fuquay-Varina area will be losing a great asset to the local fishing community. My wife and I stopped in this morning to find Chris busy boxing products up. He said the traffic just wasn't sustaining the overhead. I remember talking with Chris when he opened up about how it was his dream to own a bait and tackle shop. It is disappointing that his dreams ends this way. Please keep this veteran in your hearts and minds as he moves on to his next adventure.

Hard to make it selling floats and minnows. Big boys don't sell minnows, either.

Where do you go around FV for minnows now?????

Buckhorn General Store on Hwy 42 has them. We were there yesterday and bought a tube of crickets for four dollars.
It's a little out of the way, though.

Closer to Jordan, Cruizers at 10525 US-64, Apex, NC.. I haven't used them before. But, they are at the intersection of Hwy 64 and Farrington rd.

Thanks Crewmax42! That is right down the road from me but I did not know they sold bait.
