The Salmon Shop and the Great Outdoors

Great place. He's got quite a wide variety of lures and tackle. Very knowledgeable too. He knows all the best ponds and lakes around. I'd give this 5+ stars if I could. I like getting the wax worms, and they're always lively. Great shop.

Been going to Jim on and off for the past 20 years. He’s always willing to help and get you what you need. Definitely worth a visit to his shop.

I've known The owner Jim for many years its always a pleasure going to his shop not many like his around anymore his knowledge and service is impeccable and he always has great stories to tell he and his shop are true landmarks in Palatine

Great Guy. I bought 4 ice fishing rods last year, carries waxies and RedWorms and can tell you where to go catch them if your strike up a convo with him.

First time in and will be bringing my business back whenever I'm nearby, very friendly and helpful and the prices are fair. Has what you need for bait also

First time customer. Went there based strictly on customer reviews and was not disappointed. This shop is amazing! The owner was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and beyond friendly. He makes solid suggestions and recommendations based on your needs and not his cash register needs. I highly recommend this shop, you can not go wrong.

I would not go anywhere else for my numerous fishing gear purchases. Great place with a great owner.

Jim was fantastic. I'm new to trout fishing and he was extremely patient answering questions and giving pointers to a new guy. He set me up with the right stuff for a very decent price and had a whole store full of stuff. I'll be going back again and again.

Jim was super friendly and helpful. He was very nice and accommodating to several people when they came in while helping me. I got a hot muskey reel for a great price. Would reccomendand i will be back.

Jim takes the time to really explain and teach, so you only buy what you need. If you want great customer service, The Salmon Shop cannot be beat.

One of the best fishing shops around. The knowledge I leave with every time I stop in is priceless. The product selection is great. Lucky to have this old fishing shop!
