Mastry's Bait & Tackle

By TERRY TOMALIN, Times Outdoors Writer

© St. Petersburg Times, published May 5, 2000

Nobody has caught more tournament-winning tarpon and king mackerel than anglers by the name of Mastry. Serious fishermen go to Mastry's Bait & Tackle at 1700 Fourth St. S in St. Petersburg as much for information as for tackle. The folks at Mastry's, like most of the old-time tackle shops, are fishermen, so they will tell you what works, not just what sells. Insider information like that is what gives serious tournament fishermen the edge. Call (727) 896-8889.
