About Us:

Cardinal Bait & Tackle is a full service bait & tackle shop with a nice selection of rods, reels and tackle.  We, also, carry  a wide variety of live & frozen bait. If your rod or reel needs repair, Mike will fix it for you.  If you want a custom rod, Mike will make it for you. We sell fishing, clamming & hunting licenses. Check out our products & services page for a detailed list of our rods, reels & bait products.  Mike Cardinal, owner/operator, has enjoyed recreational fishing in Rhode Island for more than 50 years. After  retirement in 2006, Mike worked for other bait & tackle shops.  But, his passion for fishing, and his desire to offer personal attention and time to his customers prompted Mike to open his own shop using the Cardinal family name.  Stop in & visit Mike for a free cup of coffee or just some "fish talk."
