Cody's Bait & Tackle

You would be hard pressed to find a worse experience than stopping in this place to buy supplies. The owners/employees are rude and unhelpful. If you are daring enough to ask a question they treat you like you are an idiot. The store is a dump and unorganized. I would advise Oldsmar residents to drive a little further to Clearwater Bait and Tackle (and no I dont work there or own the place). I would also not advise bringing small children into this place if you are trying to get them ""hooked"" on fishing, because the jerks in the store may ruin their experience. more

What a horrible experience I had here. There were two men behind the counter one with long hair and heavy set was the most rude person I have ever come across. He was very short with me and my daughter and acted like we were the most uninformed people he has ever met. He pretty much rushed us out of there and kept tapping his foot on the ground like he didn’t have time for us even though there were no other customers in the store.\r \r The second man was also heavy set with a beard and glasses. I think he was on a three day drinking binge. His breath reeked of alcohol and was slurring his words while talking. He didn’t do much more then sit in the chair behind the counter.\r \r Overall this was the worse shopping experience I have had in a long time. The prices were much higher then Wal-Mart, and the people were much ruder. They need to figure out what being a small shop is about. It’s about giving you the experience that the big box stores can’t. \r \r I will no longer be taking my family here and I will let all of my friends know to stay away. \r Cons: The people and the prices more
