He replaced the broken tip & dried out cork handle. His thread wrap and shellac work on the line guides can only be described as masterful. What a rush of memories I had when I picked up the rod…thanks very much Ray! Couldn’t be happier with what you did with my rod!!

Randy Degrace: Excellent place!!

Mike Coffey: Top Quality work at a very fair price

David Driscoll: Always a great experience. Super helpful for fly fishing and even better if you want to build your own rods. Great prices, not just trying to sell you a bunch of stuff that you don’t need, and willing to troubleshoot projects with you. Also, the custom rods are beautiful!

Rick Huntley: Ray's work is outstanding. Friendly service and superior expertise. Great selection for the fly angler and anyone building any type of rod.

Dave Roy: This is a great family owned fly shop. Not many good ones left around that are just truly for fly fishing. This is the place to go.

Howard Knipe: Tuff to rate , been twice sign says open no one there. Looks good just wish they'd take down open sign so you would know

Paul Grammont: Mike is a great friendly owner who does his best to give customers a fair price and probably underprices the accessories he sells. He shiner prices are competitive with others but he is also the only bait shop in a 15 mile radius. I’ve been buying from him for over ten years.

Jeff and the rest of the staff actually fish and hunt so they know what their talking about and when I have them reline a reel I don't have to worry about them screwing it up (unlike Cabela's). I love swapping fish stories when I stop in for tackle, minnows or worms!

Curtis: I've never had a better experience shopping somewhere I've never been to. I didn't catch his name but the guy in there this morning gave me great service. I appreciate it a lot and I definitely recommend everybody to come here. I'm honestly shocked how good this man treated me.

Fishing Izlife: I dropped off my monitor to get it fixed. Unfortunately it was in fixable but the place was very homie and nice. Workers are very experienced and if I am ever in the area again I will visit!

Charlie Corbett: Not educated in fly fishing , other than that ok

Dan Szklarz: Awesome. The owner is the best. Hes got the biggest deck!!!! Hes got the best nightcrawlers this side of mill pond. Best pricing that ive seen anywhere.

Ed Besinger: Stopped in tonight with my bow. Rick was more than helpful and saved me a lot of time and hassle down the road. Wont be going anywhere else from now on.

M K C: If I could give ZERO stars I would. I typically avoid this location as much as possible. I had only an hour of free time this week to do an exchange on a defective item purchased on 5/6, gifted on 5/10 and used 2x on 5/15 to break. No manager would come help me or the young girl trying to assist me. She realized an easy solution would be to return it and mark it out as defective. It hadn't been 2 weeks yet and still within the 30 days of purchase. Several managers, after she requested they come talk to me, just barked over the walkie that they can't help and I need to call the manufactures 800 # which was not provided. Disgusting customer service by these managers. I work in healthcare, we are all hurting after the pandemic I get it but enough of the excuses. I train health center staff in customer service. Trust me - their jobs are WAY more difficult than these managers at the Worcester location working for a retail sport chain. It was a very simple decision that each manger has the right to override. They aren't making life and death decisions here. Someone needs to train the managers of this location better in customer relations and support. When I walked out, team members apologized and said the managers suck and I said they SURE DO. Disgraceful and this corporation should be ashamed that their staff and customers do not feel supported but their "top players". I will never go back to this location and will make the time to drive 40 min to Northborough or Millbury where they are EXCEPTIONAL EVERY GOD DAMN TIME. I will also continue to share the horrible performance these managers continue to give year in and year out (I have had issues here in the past) with EVERYONE I come into contact with.

Denis Moreira De Castro: Horroroso não dão atenção para o Soccer

Roger Leblanc: Great last minute sports store. Not alot of youth selection. But great store.

Shir0: Very very lit bro, copped some new shoes 🔥

Christina Arthur: Expensive wasn't able to get anything for my dad

Jose Villatoro: Excelente

Michael Horan: Is there a global sneaker shortage? Poor selection. Found a so-so pair, of course they didn't have my size. 9.5 such a rare men's foot size...

Gilo m: Very helpful staff.

DR COLA: Connor was professional, courteous, friendly and well informed. He went above and beyond in helping me find the right gloves. Also, he knew exactly what to when I had to make an exchange for a different size. Connor truly is an asset to your organization.

Teri Goulette: My 14 year old son and I visited Dick’s Friday evening in search of matching hoodies for him and his girlfriend. We found a great selection of north face hooded sweatshirts and bought two. At the register Michael handled our transaction. Being a scorecard member that doesn’t come in too often, I asked if there were any coupons available that I should search my inbox for. He was extremely helpful and patient as I looked. It’s very refreshing to have a great customer service experience like I did. I never found a coupon that could apply, but I left feeling like I somehow got lucky. Thanks for the great attitude Michael. Keep up the good work and we’ll definitely be back in!

Philip Bianchi: Awesome deals

Maggie Slomski: Very good no ripsticks tho

Anthony Tammaro: It is pretty expensive

jeff mason: Live bait is always fresh. Great prices and great service

Albert Autino jr: Live this little spot! Hope it stays forever

Thaddeus Whettimore: The Bait Shack is an outstanding place to buy bait. Eels, mackerel, shiners, squid, I actually wish he had a little bit more of a selection of essential terminal tackle. It's a little out of the way but the fact that you can go any hour of the day is what makes it so great. I will say that if you go late at night shut your headlights off and be as quite and considerate as possible. I dont know what I would do if I couldnt grab eels here on the way to the Cape at night, I'd have to leave before the bait shops closed the evening before and thats just not realistic.

Balmore Peña: What a great experience I had today! I’m beginner in fishing and the owner was very friendly when explaining me the basics of fishing! Definitely I’ll goBack if I need something for fishing! Super recommended

Jim Ex: Best people best bait love this place ill never go any other place for bait ty so much
