S&W Bait and Tackle is a locally run bait shop with a 30-year history serving anglers in Minnesota’s Brainerd Lakes Area. Owned by Sherree, the shop aims to help customers enjoy time on the water and create lasting fishing memories. Open seven days a week, it sells fishing licenses, minnows, lures, worms, and other fishing supplies, and offers local fishing reports and advice. Hours vary by season and weather, so customers are encouraged to call ahead.

The business also arranges guided fishing trips through the S&W Guides and the Nisswa Guides League. Trips are available in the Brainerd Lakes Area, including on Gull, Mille Lacs, and Leech lakes. Guides provide the necessary fishing equipment, while customers bring a valid fishing license and any personal food, drinks, or warm clothing. Trips are suitable for families and children, and advance booking is recommended. S&W’s friendly, community-focused shop combines practical supplies, local knowledge, and access to guided outings for visitors and residents alike.
