Island Tackle has proudly served the Cape Fear Coast and Pleasure Island since 1985 when it opened as a small community hardware. In 2000, two local residents, Dennis and Wanda Barbour, purchased the growing business. In 2008 they took it to the next level by expanding the Island Tackle facility and adding additional staff members. Over the years the company has faithfully served both the area residents and vacationing visitors far beyond just the sale of basic hardware and fishing items.
