Thorne Brothers Custom Rod & Tackle completed an impressive store expansion earlier this spring that includes a brand new custom rod shop, new warehouse space, increased retail floor space and an adjusted area for The Fly Angler. Continued growth and expanded product offerings drove new Owners Kurt Hansen and Ben Olsen to lead the renovation, updating their single store business which started in Fridley, MN but has now resided in Blaine for nearly the past 15 years.
For many years, Thorne Bros has been known as one of the greatest muskie fishing tackle stores in the nation. The store has certainly made its mark in the world of the fish of 10,000 casts. But within the past 5-10 years Thorne has become a one stop shop for everything fishing. All the best bass, walleye and panfish tackle can be found here, including The Fly Angler which caters to fly fishermen of all varieties.
No matter what species you’re chasing, Thorne Brothers prides itself on having extremely knowledgeable staff that can truly dial you in to what you need. Years and years of on the water experience, guiding and tournament fishing exists amongst Thorne employees allowing you to trust their opinion on product recommendations.
If you’re in the area or looking to make the trip for a fishing tackle shopping spree, we strongly recommend visiting Thorne’s updated store. The Champions Tour is certainly biased towards chasing bass around the Midwest and we can assure you that if you’re a basshead like we all are, you will find everything you need whether you’re a serious tournament angler or a beginner in the bass world.
