George's Bait & Carry Out-- HooknGun

Great store, great pricing, great people. If it's bait or fishing gear you need George's can help. They also have firearms for sale and even do FFL transfers for a very minimal price. I bought a handgun online and shipped it to George's and I believe it was only $30 for the FFL transfer. If you're into fishing or target practice stop into George's great local shop 👍👍

Over a year late on this review. I was looking for a Five Seven for a over a year. I came across George’s inventory online and I finally found one. It was MSRP too! I skipped work and drove nearly 3 hours just to get that bad boy. I almost had to drive back home because of the background check process time (end of day on a holiday weekend). When I hopped in my car, George told me to come back inside because it had just gotten approved. Definitely one of the best days of my life. Thanks for the great memory. I wish more stores were like this 😄

George has all your fishing needs from trolling to casting. Very clean inside with large selection of lures .ammunition gun sights snacks and ice

Absolutely love this place. Great selection at fair prices. I recently got into fishing and don't know a whole lot and George seems more than willing to share his vast fishing knowledge. Won't go anywhere else now that I've found his shop.

I went to a few different fishing shops trying to get help and advice. I an a single mom of a preteen boy who had been asking for a long time to go fishing. I heard him tell his friends he would never be able to fish because he didn't have a dad. I made it my goal to try my best to get him involved. We went to a few places for help, this was the ONLY place that didn't push a sale, but educated my son, told us how, when and where to fish, even help set his pole (which we already owned btw). Spoke very positive and encouraging to my son. Made him believe he could do it! We went today and even though my son only caught a sheep head, he has been bragging for hours feeling like he is an expert. It built his confidence and they gave him that "manly influence he needed...Sincerely I am beyond grateful for this place. George and his employee are amazing!!

Great shop. We'll stocked. Great staff. Fat night crawlers!!!

Extremely courteous and friendly. Knowledgeable about product. Will return in the future if I decide to purchase something else. I prefer to give my business to the small guy as opposed to the big box stores.

Great store for fishing and gun needs and great customer service got a mag with a malfunction and he replaced it with no hesitation at all super friendly makes you feel at home great business man appreciate you George

George made my 1st firearm purchase a pleasant one. Very friendly, willing to answer all my questions, and just made me feel comfortable. I'll definitely be returning in the near future!

family owned and family proud.
I bought my first hand gun from them almost 30 years ago. I just bought another a month ago. I love this shop!!!

Excellent example of what a bait, tackle and gun store can be when the owner and staff really care about the customers and the store itself. Have been going there regularly for last 8 years and have yet to have a bad experience. If you're in the Lorain/Vermillion area and need bait, tackle, snacks or advice on where and what's biting stop at Georges and say hi. You won't be disappointed.

Prices all reasonable, George runs a great shop and before I go to any big box store I'll go here first. Support your local businessman.

Knowledgeable & very helpful. Great customer service!

George is a cool guy and I get my guns transferred here and occasionally pick up some ammo. Small place but a decent selection.

The owner is a very friendly knowledgeable and gives straight up answers good quality products and will help with whatever you need . Not to mention he gets bonus points for having his dog in the shop. SPEND LOCAL GREAT LORAIN BUSINESS
