“The Fin” (as many within the Ohio bass fishing community affectionately refer to it as) carries an enormous selection of bass fishing products and gear that rivals any of the national outdoor retailers. The fishing department, which is located in the left-wing of the 72,00 square foot Ashland store, is stocked with the most popular brands and models of rods, reels, electronics, terminal tackle, soft plastics, crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and anything else you could possibly need for the upcoming bass’n season.
The Staff
Although The Fin’s product selection is impressive, it’s the quality of their employees that differentiates them from the competition. Managed by successful Ohio tournament angler Steve Hatfield, the Fin’s fishing department is staffed by a group of friendly bass fishing experts who strive to deliver the highest level of customer service. The staff at The Fin knows their stuff. All of them spend considerable time on the water chasing bass around Ohio’s waters, and several of them are avid tournament anglers, which means they understand what is important to bass fishermen. They are also well-trained when it comes to the technical side of the products they sell – just ask Tyler Young in the Ashland store to explain the differences between the newest Lowrance and Humminbird units, and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
Fin, Feather & Fur Supports Ohio Bass Anglers and Local Businesses
Besides the large product selection and great service, another reason to support Fin, Feather & Fur is because they support us – the Ohio bass fishing community. The Fin sponsors many Ohio based bass tournament circuits, including the Ohio Mega Bass Tournament Trail, DoBass, Great Lakes Largemouth Series, NBAA OCDC, Bad Bass Champs, The Kent State University Bass Fishing Club, and a number of annual open tournaments. Their contributions allow these circuits to provide competitors with a superior tournament experience and increased payouts. The Fin also supports Ohio based bass fishing companies, carrying a number of local brands like Warrior Baits, Ohio Pro Lure, and Hookerz Tackle.
So whether you’re looking for a new Humminbird unit for side imaging the offshore humps on Clear Fork Reservoir, a heavy flipping stick for punching the pads at Indian, or just some friendly advice from a bass fishing expert, stop by Fin, Feather & Fur Outfitters this weekend and say hello – you’ll be glad you did!
The Ashland store is located at I-71 and US-250, and can be contacted at (419) 281-2557.
The fin is awesome. I was blown away at the amount of stuff they carry. Mike is right, the store has a very helpful staff that knows what they are talking about. Also a lot of us fisherman like to hunt. The fin has everything you need with a huge selection of hunting supplies. Go check them out , you will not be sorry.
Sounds like a good store, and not too far of a drive! Do they sell fishing gear on their website? I didn’t see it if so. Also, do you know if the seminars are free to attend? I might bring my boy if so.
Hi Jim,the seminars this weekend ARE free! As for selling items from their website, at this time they don’t. But if you go to the store, you won’t be disappointed.
