Raleigh's only dedicated bait & tackle shop
Live bait, the tackle that actually works on Falls Lake, NC fishing and hunting licenses, rod and reel repair, and a real espresso bar to get you on the water early. Stop in on your way to the ramp.
One stop before the ramp
We are a small, local shop run by people who fish this lake. Whatever you forgot, whatever you need, we probably have it.
Bait & Tackle
Live bait, soft plastics, hard baits, terminal tackle, line, rods and reels picked for Falls Lake bass, crappie, and catfish.
Learn more →Maps, Lake & Camping Supplies
Falls Lake maps plus the boat, lake and campsite basics you forgot: rope, lights, life jackets, ice, fuel and bug spray.
Learn more →NC Wildlife Service Agent
Fishing and hunting licenses issued in store. Skip the website and walk out with your license in hand.
Learn more →Rod & Reel Repair
Guides, tips, drag rebuilds, cleaning and re-spooling. Bring in your gear and we will get it working again.

We fish here too
Falls Lake Outpost brings together two long-running Six Forks Road bait shops, Bayleaf USA and Outhouse Bait & Tackle, under one roof. Ask what the bass are hitting this week, where the crappie have moved, or which creek the catfish are stacked in. We are happy to point you in the right direction.
- Lake maps and up-to-date water conditions
- Hand-poured local baits alongside the big brands
- Boat, lake and camping supplies
- Falls Lake shirts, hats and gift cards
