Job Description & Requirements

Position Summary

We are looking for a passionate, experienced, and customer-focused team member to lead the day-to-day operations of our fishing tackle and outdoor retail store. This is more than a retail management position—we’re looking for someone who lives the lifestyle, believes in the fishing industry, and enjoys sharing that passion with every customer who walks through our doors.

The ideal candidate is a confident leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, values honesty and integrity, and has extensive knowledge of fishing equipment, techniques, brands, and the outdoor lifestyle. You should be equally comfortable helping a first-time angler build their first setup or discussing technical gear with seasoned fishermen.

The Ideal Candidate

The right person for this position is someone who:

• Lives and breathes fishing—not just sells it.
• Has confidence without arrogance.
• Leads with integrity and earns the respect of both customers and coworkers.
• Takes pride in educating others rather than simply making a sale.
• Is approachable, outgoing, and enjoys talking with people.
• Sets the standard for professionalism, appearance, and customer service.
• Takes ownership of the sales floor and treats the business as if it were their own.
• Believes every customer deserves an exceptional experience and every employee deserves strong leadership.

Qualifications

• Previous retail & sales experience preferred.
• Extensive fishing knowledge and hands-on experience is required.
• Strong understanding of premium fishing brands, equipment, and techniques.
• Passion for the fishing and outdoor industry.
• Natural ability to connect with customers and build long-term relationships.
• Self-motivated, dependable, and highly organized.
• Honest, trustworthy, and accountable in all aspects of the job.
• Ability to work weekends, holidays, and peak retail seasons.

Responsibilities

• Lead, motivate, and add positivity to the sales team.
• Create an energetic, welcoming, and professional shopping experience for every customer.
• Ensure the sales floor is organized, fully stocked, clean, and visually appealing at all times.
• Deliver exceptional customer service by building relationships and earning customer trust.
• Share expert knowledge of rods, reels, tackle, apparel, electronics, fly fishing, inshore, offshore, freshwater, and saltwater fishing.
• Stay current on new products, industry trends, seasonal techniques, and major fishing brands.
• Aware of inventory levels and communicate restocking needs.
• Assist with merchandising, product displays, promotions, and special events.
• Resolve customer concerns professionally and efficiently.
• Lead by example through professionalism, accountability, and a strong work ethic.
• Help achieve sales goals while maintaining an exceptional customer experience.

If you love fishing, know the products, enjoy helping people succeed on the water, and want to be part of a team that’s passionate about the outdoors, we’d love to meet you.
