Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we are actually asked at Coney Island Hook and Bait Shop. If yours is not here, call +1 347-312-3868.

Will these tools survive salt water?

The rack is stocked with salt in mind — stainless, aluminium and coated finishes. Rinse them in fresh water at the end of the day and they last seasons.

What is a lip gripper for?

It holds a fish securely by the jaw so you can unhook it without squeezing the body. The non-puncture models we stock are the ones to use if you are putting the fish back.

Do the tackle kits include hooks?

The kits state their exact contents in the specification table — most include hooks, weights, swivels and rigs in a divided tray.

What is shipping?

Free US shipping on orders over $50; a flat $6.95 below that.
