About Us
As Alaska's Premier Fishing Store, and experts on all things fishing The Great Land, we've proudly helped Alaska fish since the 1950s.
As Alaska's largest dedicated tackle, bait and fishing gear store, our shop is quite literally where great Alaskan fishing adventures begin.
Our Manifesto
We're passionate about empowering Alaska's fishing community to catch and harvest the finest our Alaskan streams, rivers, lakes, and seas produce.
At B&J Sporting Goods, we're proud of being an Alaskan-owned and operated business. We're especially proud of our legacy which began in the early 1950's - before Alaska was even a state - and that it includes serving the outstanding community of people who love fishing in The Last Frontier.
We Believe
We believe the fishing gear we go out with impacts our catch.
That's why we're committed to providing meticulously curated fishing gear that's built to endure Alaska's rugged outdoors. Your next 'Best Fishing Trip Ever' starts here.
Our Mission
Great gear facilitates great fishing!
Our mission at B&J Sporting Goods is simple: to elevate the Alaskan fishing experience for all. We offer a wide range of 'Alaska proven' fishing tackle, rods, reels, and more, meticulously selected to meet the unique needs of those who enjoy fishing Alaskan waters.
Our Heritage
We honor our legacy while fishing forward.
With a legacy dating back to 1953, B&J Sporting Goods honors our history while embracing the future of fishing in Alaska. Purchased by Alaskans, Troy & Jody Arnold in 2019, our aim is to provide the best gear and equipment while staying true to our Alaskan roots.
The Power of Fishing
Fishing is part of the Alaskan experience!
Fishing is more than just a hobby—it's an essential part of the Alaskan experience. It connects us to nature, provides stress relief, and contributes to our overall well-being. At B&J Sporting Goods, we're proud to be a part of this tradition.

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.
