Residents of Corktown and Mexicantown now have a convenient place to
purchase fishing equipment and accessories with the recent opening of
Bait and Hook on Bagley at 14th.
Proprietor Chris Anuszkiewicz says he opened the store “because I’ve lived here, and the location is so close to the river.”
Previously occupied by a factory that produced safety glasses,
Anuszkiewicz has transformed Bait and Hook into a friendly space. A
full line of live bait is stocked, as are nets, rods, reels, line and
lures.
Anuszkiewicz is always ready and willing to share tips and hot spots
with his customers. “I fish all over Michigan, and I catch a lot of
fish. What I try to do with customers when they come in is that I want
them to be successful and do good. That’s what I’m trying to do here.
Here, you can just spend a couple bucks and catch a lot.”
The store is located in the same complex as Bagley Vision — an optical store — and second-floor residential rental lofts.
