Welcome to B&J Sporting Goods

Where Alaska’s Next Best Fishing Trips Begin

Your next best fishing trip begins here.

Loved by locals, B&J Sporting Goods is Alaska’s largest dedicated fishing store and tackle & bait shop. And if you believe the brand reps who’ve walked through our doors over the years, we’re "quite possibly the biggest dedicated fishing store west of the Mississippi." We haven’t exactly gone around with a tape measure to prove it — but we recognize a compliment when we receive one!

We’ve been helping Alaska fish since the 1950s, and generations of Alaskans near and far have come through our doors for tackle, bait, gear, fishing knowledge, and whatever they forgot they needed before heading out on their next epic memory making quest to catch fish..

Because when you’re fishing somewhere new, you go where the locals go.

Maybe you’re making an overnight turn-and-burn run to the Kenai, taking the kids trout fishing at a local stocked lake, heading out of Whittier for halibut and shrimp, or packing for the Alaska fishing trip you’ve been planning for years. Whether Alaska is home or you’re coming a long way to fish here, B&J is a pretty good place to start.

Shop fishing tackle, bait, rods, reels, lures, terminal tackle, nets, fishing gear, outdoor essentials, and more for Alaska’s rivers, lakes, streams, and saltwater. Whether you’re filling the freezer, fishing after work, outfitting a guide or charter operation, or finally taking that bucket-list Alaska fishing trip, we’re here to help you get rigged and ready to get on the water.

Start here. Get set. GoFISH, Alaska!

Because your next best fishing trip begins at B&J.

Can’t Find What You’re Looking For?

There’s a good chance we have it — it just may not be on the website yet.

Our Anchorage shop carries considerably more fishing tackle, bait, gear, and outdoor equipment than we’re currently able to list online. If you’re looking for a particular product, brand, size, color, or something for a specific Alaska fishery, give us a call at (907) 274-6113, send us a message, or stop by the shop and let our team help you find it.

Please note: Due to size, weight, or shipping requirements, some rods, nets, weights, bait, and other large or heavy products may be available for in-store pickup only.
