Est. Lexington, North Carolina
From fresh live bait to tournament-grade tackle, Mimi's has been equipping anglers across the Piedmont for years — with advice that actually helps you catch more.
Locally Owned & Operated
Serving Lexington and the surrounding Piedmont community with care.
Our Story
Mimi's Bait and Tackle has been a quiet staple along NC Highway 8 for as long as anglers in Lexington have been casting lines into the nearby waters of the Piedmont. What started as a modest stand for worm buckets and basic tackle grew into something the community relies on — a place where the person behind the counter knows your name and your favorite spot.
We carry everything from daily essentials — live bait, ice, coolers, and basic rigs — to the specialty gear that serious anglers hunt for. Whether you're wading a creek behind your house or prepping for a day on Lake Norman, we'll point you toward what actually works.
No high-pressure sales. No complicated inventory systems. Just honest advice, fresh bait, and the kind of service that makes returning worthwhile.

What We Carry
From the bait bucket to the boat trailer — we stock the gear that matters, curated for the waters right here in the Piedmont.
Fresh minnows, crawfish, worms, and crickets — stocked daily so you're never without the right bait for today's conditions.
Spinning, baitcasting, and fly — from beginner setups to tournament-grade equipment. We'll help you match rod to river.
Hooks, sinkers, swivels, jigs, soft plastics, and hard baits — the complete terminal tackle selection for bass, catfish, and more.
Hard and soft coolers, bagged ice, and frozen ice packs — keep your catch cold and your bait fresh all day long.
Pliers, line cutters, nets, tackle boxes, vests, and gloves — the small things that make a big difference on the water.
North Carolina fishing licenses, trout stamps, and access passes — available right at the counter so you're covered before you cast.
Why Choose Us
We fish these waters ourselves. When we recommend a spot, a lure, or a technique, it's based on what's working right now — not a catalog.
We won't upsell you on gear you don't need. If a $5 rig will do the job, we'll tell you that. Your success on the water is the only metric that matters.
Early mornings, late afternoons, last-minute runs — we keep hours that work for anglers, not for corporate schedules. Call ahead and we'll be here.
This isn't a franchise. It's a neighborhood shop that depends on your loyalty and your word-of-mouth. That means we treat every customer like a neighbor.
"The best tackle shop in the county — and I've fished all of them."
