Do you dream of catching the big one? Kentucky certainly has plenty of excellent fishing holes, and if you haven’t dropped a line in the water yet this summer, now’s the time to get out there. Before you go, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the gear. Fast Eddie’s Bait & Tackle has everything you need, and you might be surprised to find a restaurant right inside!
Fast Eddie's Bait & Tackle opened in 1984 and has been helping local anglers find the right fishing gear ever since.
It's located at 8492 US Highway 68 E., Benton, KY.
Eddie Davenport and his team have absolutely everything you'll ever need for the perfect day of fishing on a lake or river. You'll find a great selection of fishing poles...
...and more lures and bait than you ever thought existed. The friendly folks here can give you some fishing advice and recommend the right equipment for your trip.
Getting the right bait and tackle is just the first part of your fishing adventure - you'll want to fill up on some tasty food before you head out. Luckily, Eddie's also has a restaurant right on site.
You'll find a menu full of tasty breakfast, lunch, and dinner items here. From pancakes and omelets to burgers and chicken tenders, there's something to tempt everyone's taste buds.
It shouldn't be a surprise that Friday is fish night at Eddie's, and the catfish is perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. It's served with a side of homemade hushpuppies, of course.
