Captain Jax Bait & Tackle is a premier family-owned and operated fishing supplier located at 490c E 4th Ave, Hialeah, FL. Established in July 2017 by owner Jax M., who comes from a long line of commercial fishermen and tournament winners, the shop initially launched with minimal inventory. To build the business, the team caught and sold their own bait wholesale, reinvesting those profits to eventually grow the storefront into a fully stocked, community-oriented hub. Today, it has earned a stellar 4.9-star reputation for its genuine hospitality, competitive pricing, and the highly knowledgeable staff who offer personalized strategies to get both local and out-of-town anglers onto the fish. The shop specializes in providing an expansive selection of live, fresh, and frozen bait, featuring daily-caught favorites like pilchards, crabs, shiners, pinfish, and shrimp. Alongside top-tier bait options, Captain Jax carries a wide range of terminal tackle, specialized lures, premium rods, reels, and fresh seafood from major brands like Abu Garcia, Berkley, Strike King, and Zebco. They also cater to essential trip preparation needs by offering heavily discounted 25 lb blocks of chum and bags of ice to keep the day's catch fresh.Store Amenities & Services Pet-Friendly Policy: Dogs are allowed inside the shop.
