Santee, SC Exit 98: Anglers head to this store for fishing needs to catch catfish and stripers in Lake Marion. Rods by Zebco and Daiwa, Daiichi hooks, Dorman lures, Terminator spinners, Eagle Claw lead or Zoom worms are all here.
Hooks and bobs
For bait there are crickets, shad, red worms, night crawlers and herring.
Campers can pick up cast iron cookware and portable BBQ grills. Shelves are stocked with house brand preserves: tomatillo salsa, canteloup jam, asparagus chow chow, moonshine jelly and scuppernong cider, but locals know to pick up some of (owner) Uncle Ed’s BBQ sauce too. Stone ground grits are there, of course, and fireworks and Western Union.
If you’ve been hankering for boiled peanuts, you can take home a 6 lb. can – or some pickled pig’s feet.
