We'd been to ... other stores for a certain item with no luck. We heard an ad on KWHL and went to check out B&J and WOW! Found exactly what we needed for a very good price, thanks to an excellent manager, neat guy. Thanks a bunch. We'll be back for more fishing gear someday!

B&J has gone out of its way to provide excellent customer service every time I have been in. All of the employees that I have interacted with were kind, funny, and (most importantly) knowledgeable. This is and will remain my go-to store for fishing gear.

Selection impeccable as always. Fishing gear staff is the most knowledgeable I have ever encountered in a sporting goods store. I can not go to Anchorage without swinging through there.
