Local Store - Local Fishing - Local Focus

rod-reel

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.

Conventional Tackle:
We stock rods from Duce, 13 Fishing and TFO – all perfect for Louisiana waters.  Our reels are by Shimano and 13 Fishing.  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.

Local focus:
We focus on companies that are local.  Duce is a local company located right here in Lafayette.  Many of our lures are from companies with Louisiana and Texas roots.  Companies like Egret, Fin Collectors, Paul Brown and more.

Fly Rod Demos - 7 Days a Week!

Possibly the most valuable research you can do when shopping for a fly rod is to pick it up and try it out.  There are so many intangible things that testing a rod brings out:  Weight, balance, action, how it feels on short and long casts and more.  We offer free demos on every fly rod we sell – 7 days a week!  Our staff makes it easy and fun to compare different rods and get the perfect model.

We have designated demo rods for each of our Sage, Redington and TFO’s in stock.  Along with that – we have reels spooled up and ready to go.  We simply pick the rod or rods that you want to try and walk out the back door give them a go.

Weekly Demos

Every Saturday at 9:00am at Vermilionville Pond – 300 Fisher Road, Lafayette, LA
