Bait Shop in Cochranton?

[jaeger80]

I heard a story this summer that there was a new bait shop in Cochranton.  Supposedly in the old NAPA store.  I drove past it last weekend because I was in the area and it was called something like Tom's Swap Shop.  Anyone know if they are selling bait in there?

New bait stores don't seem to last too long anymore Mo...  But it would be a great place for one.  Sugar, Conneaut, Geneva, French...all within 15 mins of Cochranton.  But if the swap shop has minnies, I'd be thrilled.

Worth looking into. Lots of small business owners carry bait and tackle as a side line

There used to be a bait shop between the NAPA store and beer distributer in Cochranton.It was part of a private residence. Family run business. Owners were very nice people .Dont know if they are still open or not. Might be the one people were referring to.  There used to be a lot of bait shops in the area. Bobs bait shop in Cooperstown was on Sugar Creek. The Trading Post on Big Sugar Creek. Tammarak Lake had two. Years back before internet shopping the smaller shops had trouble getting the tackle reps to take their orders once the Walmarts and Kmarts arrived. They had to get together to place an order. Even then since they didn't have  the volume as the box stores they couldn't get the pricing and as a result they couldn't compete. Helped put them out of business .Jiggers is still open on Rt 62 heading towards Polk from Sandy Lake
