How rude. Walk in and was greeted by, “I hope you’re not Looking for live bait. Welcome to summer in the Florida keys“. I’ll never come back here. Take your nastiness elsewhere.

I like Chris and family they do help a lot of customers who are down here on vacation. They give local knowledge on where to catch the fish, what bait, tackle and more!

I live here in Marathon and I too trust Chris and family to help me when I am going bridge fishing myself.

The day before I visited the store, I broke a rod and my 11 year old son dropped the drag cap on my Penn 6500SS into the nice blue water. The Tackle Box was my third shop I visited looking for a new rod and a new rod/reel as we were down to two rod/reels with two more days of fishing left for my wife, two kids and myself. I walked into the store and was surprised at the selection of rods, reels and tackle they had in stock vs the other two shops I previously visited. I spoke with the owner and could not believe they had exactly what I was looking for. While I was in the store I noticed that they had a good amount of Penn equipment in stock. When I was checking out at the counter, I asked if they would happen to have a drag cap for my Penn 6500SS (I thought it was a long shot) and told them the story about my son dropping the cap in the water. Two minutes later I had a new cap for my Penn reel! I walked out of the store a very happy customer! Whenever we are in Marathon or the surrounding keys there is only one tackle shop I will be going to and that is the Tackle Box!!

Thanks for saving our last two days of fishing!!!

I buy shrimp at the Tackle box on a regular basis. I have many times gone in to buy hand picks and the worker, owner, his wife or son have told me “no” reason to pay extra because the large shrimp are all very large. I was told to save my money.
Easy to believe some a hole from up North would bash this hard working family. Buy your stuff somewhere else. Stay the F out of Marathon.

We are visiting for a week and wanted to get setup for dock fishing at our rental. We got set up with 2 rods, bait, and loads of freindly advice. The kids have not set the rods down for more than time needed to swim and/or eat. Glad we stopped in to the Tackle Box. Great investment, for the priceless memories.

This is a great place to stop by and get bait. They helped us and taught us technique on how to hook on some snapper. We aren't from the area and aren't use to fishing for sapper and after the first day of nothing we checked this place out after many great google review. I have to say they were polite, taught us technique. Gave us the right tackle and off we went. That day we caught lots of snapper and it made out trip out there fun. The price is very reasonable for the tackle.
