"A tackle shop where visitors can gear up for marsh crabbing and inshore fishing—purchasing items like dip-nets, chicken necks, hand-lines, and basic supplies to try hands-on coastal fishing traditions." - Lydia Mansel

We recently needed an odd item for a trip. I made a call to see if they had rain suits, and the guy that I talked to informed me they had a few. He was very polite on the phone and the same when we stopped in. They just happened to have the sizes we needed. This is the first time we were here and had a great experience.

What a nice little bait shop. They had a good selection. We came for some bait. Prices were good. The staff were super helpful and knowledgeable about what we needed for fishing. We caught some really nice fish. Highly recommend 👌

Asked for some advice and where to go for reds and the guy straight up said no. Spent 150 bucks and was treated like scum. Also everything was overpriced. Never getting my buisness again.

We have LOVED coming here for all our fish and bait needs. The staff is amazing and kind, and so quick to help find what you need. The selection is huge! And my fish that we use in our wildlife rescue are always fish and perfect, the birds love them! We have been sending our fishing friends here as well and they catch awesome things with their supplies! We are completely thrilled with this place and so happy to have a local owned bait shop to visit!

This place was awesome! Even if fishing isn’t your thing, you should definitely swing by to check it out. All sorts of neatness!

This is such a cute little bait shop. They had a good variety for whatever your fishing needs may be. The guys working were friendly and face us great recommendations for fishing spots! The prices were also very reasonable.

Perry's Bait & Tackle was easy to find using our Map app. They had everything we needed for fishing on the beach and were very cordial and helpful. Great bait shop!

Really great little store- they have everything you need for a quick stop or a more extensive stock up. Reels, poles, all kinds of live bait and gear. Nets, buckets, hooks, they have it all.
Staff is informed, helpful, and kind.
It was a perfect pit stop before our day out fishing. Mud Minnows were great quality and lived all day really colorful too.

We have been to Perry's Bait & Tackle many times over the year. They always have a good selection of love and frozen bait, along with lots of fishing gear and tackle. They also have shirts available.
We will continue to visit Perry's when we are in the area. I give Perrys's a 9/10 rating.

This store is the best bait and tackle shop I've ever been in. The employees (Lane and Jesse) are super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The selection is incredible and the prices are great. I'm never going anywhere else.

Absolutely fantastic experience provided by the amazing people at Perry's. Our trip to Myrtle Beach to fish for Red Drums was a last minute decision not allowing enough time to properly prepare and Perry's staff answered all our questions as well as providing everything we needed to fish even going as far as sharing areas to go. Wonderful People and good quality rods and bait.

Been there twice in the same day, and being a beginner, i was very ignorant of most things. The older guys in the morning and Lance (maybe his name was Layne? Sorry, i don't remember) in the afternoon were super knowledgeable and helpful. Lance even taught me some stuff! They weren't out to make money and sell everything, they were genuinely there to help! Highly recommend, this is now my one-stop-shop for learning to fish! Also helps that the prices are low and very worth what you're getting!

Adorable shop and we'll-equipped but it does not have live bait for saltwater fishing yet so reviews need to reflect call to check availability. April is not busy enough for them to have this available.
What they do have, whole drag mullet, vacuum-packed frozen mini-mullet, frozen squid and shrimp can be obtained many places without the drive.

All I can say is WOW!!! I can say hands down the best customer service I have ever received... Ever! We love supporting local businesses but I can honestly say that myself & family will only shop here for bait & tackle. Jessica, you made us customers for life! Thank y'all for the awesome service and knowledge!

Throw back to times when Big Box Stores didn't rule the world. Charm of an old seaside fishing village!! FAMILY OWNED with seasoned knowledge that only comes from living the life. Live bait tanks! If you want pretty, air conditioning and lined blacktop to park - not for you...you can take a trip to N. Myrtle Beach and shop in Bass Pro. Had everything we needed and more including Southern hospitality and good ol' conversation - put our purchases in the car and went back in to take a second look!! Thank you Perry's for representing our beautiful coastline -
