Great shop to stop by and grab anything you need. There’s everything you could need here for any type of fishing you do!
Best bait shop around. Been going to see Gary since I was a young kid. Always willing to give advise to novice fisherman. Gary stocks just about everything you ever need. And if he doesnt have it he will get it for you. Cannot stress enough how great the wiggly worm really is.You Must stop and check it out if you are an avid fisherman.
Gary and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and courteous. It is certainly The Best Bait & Tackle Store in the area. The store is like a museum with all the stuffed animals to look at and touch with permission. People love it, both young and old. Ive been going there for 50 years and Never had a bad experience!
Gary is a very helpful and knowledgable guy. He’s always looking to help out up and coming anglers. His prices will beat anyone around. I will always go out of my way to go to his shop and give him business and you should too.
Best bait shop around by far. I’ve been going there for over 20 years. Great guy, family owned and operated for over 100 years, awesome selection and even better prices. We need more bait shops like this one.
Awesome shop, they always have whatever Im looking for and usually things I didnt even know I wanted / needed. Theyre always stocked on the best lures, a wide range of hooks and weights, as well as live bait. Cash only which is fine by me, and theyre generally less expensive than any other sports shop around.
Best bait and sporting equipment store in the world have been shopping here since 1980’s when Gary’s dad , a wonderful person ran the place and was mostly bait and basics Gary has grown the store into a first class fishing store with just about anything you could want. He also continues his father’s tradition of donating generously to fishing groups including 4-H club so your purchase also benefits the community!
Just stopped into the store to grab some last minute items before the ice season. Gary and Drew knew exactly where every item I asked for. Place was loaded with product which is awesome to see, most places I’ve seen already have been hit hard. My biggest issue is making sure I have enough cash on hand to cover everything I want! If you need any tackle, I bet they have you covered
Great little shop with a HUGE selection. The owner is a great guy who is willing to help anyone any way he can. I went in looking for Big Catch Custom Baits hellgrammites and he didnt have any in the color I wanted so he ordered a whole bunch of them! Best panfish bait Ive used and now theyre here!
Great place very helpful and a lot of knowledge. Started out ice fishing last year and was given some great advice for this beginner from this store. Bought my sled here too! Love this place!
Wiggly worm has the fairest prices in the region. Owner and staff are very knowledgeable in the craft and will give you outstanding advice to bag a big one free of cost.
Best striper shop around! Gary has all the ensentials from Fish-Intel rigs to frozen herring ! Everything I needed!
Super friendly, plenty of options for all styles of fishing. Great environment! 10/10 service
I mainly go to wiggly worm for what I need. He has everything your looking for..good prices..and great conversation. I live an hour away but I still make sure I go there when I can to stock up on everything. Definitely 5 stars.

Great people and even better knowledge. At Wiggly Worm, they’re always willing to give you any advice, tips, or tricks to make your fishing experience even better! I have been going here for my live bait since I was a kid. Can’t wait to get out on the Ice this year!
Owner was very nice and helpful! He has a great variety of products in store and large selection of bait.
I have been going to the Wiggly Worm for a few years now. Every time I go in for just one thing , I come out with everything I really needed. And thats a good thing. Ive learned a good amount of info on bass and trout for this area and I love the lures Ive bought!
I’ve been going here for years for all of our fishing needs ! The shop owner is so caring and helps with suggestions and loves seeing kids come in that love fishing ! Huge selection a little of everything and quality!

Owner is very nice, my boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and it is our favorite bait shop ❤️

Hands down the absolute BEST bait shop in the entire capital area and beyond!!! Love supporting these folks. Always pleasant, and extremely generous with live bait. Bring your children inside too, the mounts and just massive inventory leaves them with so many questions to ask. Not to mention the willingness to share info so everyone catches fish. Love it. Thank you
The ONLY place to go for fishing supplies!! Gary is so knowledgeable and friendly! This store has everything possible in fishing with great stories to top it off!!!
They have everything, best bait shop around for live bait.
Great shop! I remember my Dad bringing me here when I was a kid and having the time of my life. Fishing took the back burning for a while, until now. Today was the first time back in the shop as an adult and I was not disappointed. Cant wait to keep coming back!
Great bait shop, great people. Always willing to help out fellow fishermen with what they need.
I have been a customer for only three years.I have been an outdoorsman since I was little. My father was a great fisherman and I am still learning.And its people like Gary at Wiggly Worm that have helped me along..I have never had a shop take such good care of me for all my fishing needs whether it be bait,lures ,rods and reels or anything else. Plus the wisdom of someone who has been in buisness for many years.The inventory is amazing for the size building he has.My kind of place .He is knowledgeable and fair priced . I highly recommend this shop.Now get out and fish and dont forget to look up Wiggly Worm for your fishing needs.
Hands down best baitshop in the 518!! Amazing owner nd he really cares alot about his customers.
Doesnt get any better. Best bait shop Ive ever been to.
This is my first year striper fishing and I visited Wiggly Worm hoping to get some supplies. The owner was extremely kind and helpful. He helped me get everything I needed to take myself and my kids striper fishing. I’ve been back 4 times now and really enjoy the conversation and opportunity to learn more about fishing. Thank you!
This place has everything you need. From Live bait to lures and tackle at fair prices. great service and very nice people.
Once again we had another great visit!Great deals on tackle and bait, ALWAYS a pleasure walking into the Wiggly Worm! Gary is a good man and an even better bait shop owner!
The owner is very friendly and helpful. Get some free lessons. The worms we bought are fresh and juicy. Great experience!
Stopped by to pick up tackle and get some advice on striped bass fishing. Everyone in the shop was very nice and willing to share their knowledge. I would highly recommend this shop.
This kind owner showed the greatest compassion today to a little girl who had no intention of buying any bait, but just stops by to admire his wiggly worms out in front of his store. This little girl was my niece. She is 3 years old and always admires his wiggly worms in front of his business. Usually once a week her grandparents stop so she can get out and talk to the worms. Today this owner actually gave her a plastic green inch warm out of the kindness of his heart. Her grandparents tried to pay for the worm, but He would not take any. He said Christmas is for the kids. I have received a picture from the grandparents of her on her new found friend and she is in a grin from ear to ear. The kindness of this business owner not only warmed the heart of this little girl but has warmed the hearts of her entire family. We just want to say thank you so much for your awesome gesture of giving. Thank you.
What a great selections. Gary (Owner) is very helpful in finding what I needed. I will be going back for more, for sure!
Business is cash only. Wasted my lunch break and gas for no reason.
Gary is one of the most knowledgeable men I know in the bait business Wiggly Worms the best bait shop
Have been coming here for 40-yrs. Always great
Place is great! Cash only is the only semi downside. The counter to that is the prices are great, the selection is great, the people are great. Stop in to the local stores they will often have a selection that represents what is used locally and what is used is generally what works. Hes also the only local store that carries a good selection of Keitech swing impact fats in 2.8. use the keitech ball heads 1/8-3/16oz size 2-1 hooks. Bought two colors, used them all before 10am the next day... should have bough more..
Great guy and has no problem talking to and helping you with whatever you need
Great little spot, has everything you could ever want super friendly and full of wisdom
Great guy, great place. Really good baitshop. Recommend to everyone
Best little bait shop in town. The owner has a huge heart. He is always happy to talk fish with you and loves when kids come in. He seems to enjoy sharing his expertise. I will always get my bait and supplies here for as long as this hidden gem is in business.
All the gear you could need. Great hours. Gary is very helpful.
I’ve been going here over 20 years. They have everything you could want for fishing!
My son was so excited to go to this bait shop today and I pulled into the parking lot and saw the trump flag and immediately left. If you support the worst And most dangerous president in our Nations history, I will not support you. You’re alienating customers.
The best shop around for all of your fishing needs.
Only place I go for live bait! Small business highly recommend!
Awesome place to find anything you need fishing-related. Amazing atmosphere - unbelievable service. Some of the most knowledgeable men I have ever met in the fishing world. Couldnt imagine getting bait or my fishing tackle anywhere else.
This Bait Shop has a Large selection of lures and fishing accessories. The owner Gary is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He has a large selection of live baits and artificial bait and at a good price too.
Everything you need for fishing and ice fishing. Lots of gear to get you out there and plenty of bait to catch fish with. Plus local knowledge of the lakes. Buy local!!
Very nice place to get bait. They have probably almost anything you can imagine for lures and bait and the salesman tries to stay up to date with that. Beautiful life bait selection.This is the results after getting bait there. And thats only the ones we can fit in the livewell, there at least 40 others. Stop by and take a look.
Great place to get bait and other fishing gear. Owner and staff are really friendly and helpful. My go to spot for bait and ice fishing tackle. Good pricing too.
I only had my credit card on me and forgot cash and Gary said no problem, come back and pay me another day. God bless him no one else would do that, I was able to get bait and fish this morning. Ill be recommending everyone to him amd supporoting his business , no more online shopping for ice fishing gear. Thanks again Gary and ill be back in a few days ! - Tino
I my son and were in town for weekend stopped in and blown away by their inventory . Live hundred miles away planning are next trip back finish our bag and tackle box needs

2022-02-25If youre looking for the freshest bait, best deals on tackle/gear, any info about fishing there is to know, or most importantly - customer service, then look no further than Wiggly Worm. This has been my go-to bait shop for years now. Whether Im fishing locally or traveling I always stop here first, Gary always has treated me right. Checkout these beautiful perch caught yesterday using spikes and jigs from Wiggly Worm! 10/10 baitshop

2022-07-02Five stars is not enough for the Wiggly Worm tackle shop. If I were a fish I would be protesting to shut them down because they are the best tackle shop in the country. Fish should fear because of the wiggly worm tackle shop and their variety of inventory and wonderful options of live bait and tackle. If you are a fisherman you must put the wiggly worm shop on your bucket list because it is such an awesome place to go. Gary has a wealth of wisdom from over 100 years of family fishing history. You could stay at this place for hours and just look around the shop with all the cool things they have. Bass pro shops and outdoor world should be merging with this company to make them a national franchise. I love this bait shop they are the greatest.

2022-03-02Best bait shop I have ever been to awesome people friendly and service is awesome. Very knowledgeable and products are top notch. Cant beat the prices and bait quality and count is primo
Review №4
2022-01-15Best prices around guaranteed quality bait and lures and all of your fishing/ice fishing accessories. Hes very knowledgeable and has a ton of tips and tricks to help new and upcoming fisherman. He has pretty much everything you need in one stop to get out on the lake or on the ice, and he will sit there and talk fishing with you not just give you your bait and kick you out the door like some bait shops. All around awesome guy and bait shop recommend this place 110 percent

2022-06-01Wiggly worm is hands-down the best bait shop around!! Super knowledgeable staff and excellent lure selection helped me land my first fish (me+fish pictured) very clean live bait tanks with no ‘floaters’, and a fun sign to boot! My kids love going to the “worm store” now and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and conversation with the Owner and Kevin. Definately check them out!!!🐟
Review №6
2022-03-27Wiggly Worm is a true bait shop for fisherman run by fisherman. Too many bait and tackle shops today care only about the money in your wallet, but Gary and Kevin gain satisfaction from the knowledge and advice they pass on to produce grins from ear to ear and a live well full of fish for their customers. Highly recommended for all ages and skill sets as the Capital Regions clear go-to shop!

2022-05-06The best bait shop around hands down. Always super friendly and helpful and never skimps on the live bait. My dad and grandpa have always gone there and so will I. Great small business tackle shop!
Review №8
2022-02-24Pretty simple. Best Bait shop in the capital region and maybe even the state of NY. Not only does Gary stock basically everything you could need but he also has the best prices around and is regularly giving you extra bait and deals on tackle. Ive been going in since I was a young kid with my father and Gary has been giving me fishing advise ever since. All of which has panned out to be successful. Also if you dont go there because of Garys political beliefs, you are mentally ill and should probably take up ballet or a book club. Youre the man Gary!
