When we began stocking fishing gear in 2008, many were skeptical. Why would Pack & Paddle need to carry fishing gear when you can get so much stuff at the box stores? What we bring to the table is local knowledge and unique brands. Our staff hand picks every rod, every reel, every line and every lure for our fishing department. The focus is to stock items that we have used ourselves and that we know work in our Louisiana waters.

LOCAL STORE - LOCAL FISHING - LOCAL FOCUS
Conventional Tackle:
We stock rods from Waterloo and St. Croix – all models perfect for Louisiana waters. We carry an extensive collection of lures that work well in our marshes for specs, reds and flounder as well as a smaller selection for fresh water. Our staff can help you select the perfect lures for the areas you intend to fish. We focus as much as possible on lure vendors that are centered on the Gulf Coast. Companies like Matrix Shad, Buggs Lures, Egret and more.
Your Local Fly Shop:
Pack & Paddle should be your first stop for fly fishing Louisiana. We stock rods, reels, combo rods, fishing accessories, flies for salt and freshwater and a complete selection of fly tying gear and supplies. Our combo rods start at $199 and include the rod, reel, line, backing, leader and case. Just add a fly and you’re ready to fish! We also carry a wide range of individual rods and reels from Redington, Scott, and TFO as well as reels from TFO and Lamson.
