The Dugout Bait and Tackle

An incredible experience from start to finish! We have kayaked and camped for a few years now and since we retired this year, we evolved into thoughts of an easier, more portable, light weight option so we have no excuse to get out there on the water and ENJOY LIFE! After lots of research, we knew Hobie had everything we needed and more! Jamie and the entire staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions with no pressure. Their shop was fully stocked, in a great location and includes an awesome pond to get out there and try all the options! It was worth the 2 hour drive and we definitely highly recommend them before making any kayak purchase!

What a fantastic find! If you are a kayak fishing enthusiast, the Dugout Bait and Tackle is for you! Their yak fishing knowledge and rigging capabilities are second to none… this is my go to shop.

Awesome shop. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Will shop again. All things fishing...

I discovered Hobie Kayaks earlier this year and came to The Dugout to take one on the water. Being completely new to kayaking, I had a lot of question. Jamie and the team were very patient and informative during my initial visit. Today I looked on their site and saw they were selling demos so I decided to call and see about picking one up. Everything was easy and the staff + people were just as friendly and helpful as my first visit. I ended up purchasing a Hobie Compass, an upgraded drive, straps, and a set of wheels for the boat. Great experience and worth a trek if you are looking to speak with people who are passionate about what they do. 10/10.

A great place to take little kids fishing. $5 per fisherman, $3 for worms. Bring your outdoor chairs. If you catch bream or crappie you MUST keep them and pay $3 per pound. Bass are catch and release. People are nice, they loaned us a bucket.

Great little local tackle store. They have all the name brand rod, reels and bait that you need. Also they sell live minnows and trout in the winter. They have a pay lake with bass, crappie and catfish in it. You cannot keep the bass.

Outstanding group of people. They were super knowledgeable and helpful. They helped me all the way through and even installed all of my attachments! I am going back to buy another kayak this week. It was a pleasure dugout team!!

Excellent customer service. Everyone was friendly and very helpful with selecting a rod and reel combo. There is a great selection of gear as well. They got me set up and I was catching fish the same day. Totally worth the trip.

Super guys here and a really cool bait and tackle store.

Amazing selection of anything and everything fishing! Kayaks and gear look awesome! Will be back soon!

2018 Excellent guys and lots of good bait fish! 5/5 will keep shopping here.

Update 2022: Picked up a St. Croix bass mojo rod to add to the roster. Hooking fish within the hour. Place has expanded and looks better then ever. 5 Stars!

Awesome service! I highly recommend working with them. Their chat feature on their website is super user friendly and they are super responsive. I paid my invoice and had a tracking number within 10 minutes and received the package by the next day. The only bad thing is that I don't live closer!

Place is always awesome, staff is very knowledgeable. I just got into kayak fishing. They are that one stop shop.

Great place I am from Chicago Illinois moved here 3 years ago and wanted to start fishing again. The crew there was knowledgeable and super friendly I recommend this place highly prices are decent as well high quality products

The Dugout is the primer tackle shop in Cobb County. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The store is stocked with the proper equipment for fishing all the local lakes. If you're looking for a kayak and you don't visit the Dugout, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Visited from north of Houston Texas for a Dr appointment and needed a nice spot to take my son fishing, this place was perfect!!! Thanks so much for helping make my son smile!

It was great to be able to demo the kayaks I was interested in and get some experienced advice to narrow it down. Nick went above and beyond to help me pick a kayak and install some mods in in time for an upcoming fishing trip. I'm extremely happy with the new kayak and the buying experience, great shop and staff.

Very nice and someone bought all my stuff which was 60 dollars

Great place for kayak information and sales. Will customize your yak and a great source for fishing lures and knowledge.

Great family atmosphere. Owner & staff are the best! More catching than fishing!
