Bait. Tackle. Firearms. Everything you need to step outside and make the most of it.
A Salem Tradition
Built on Trust
Red Barn Bait & Guns has long been a cornerstone of the Salem outdoor community. We started as a small bait shop with a simple promise: stock what works, and treat every customer like a neighbor. Over the years, that promise has only grown — adding firearms, ammunition, and a full line of hunting and fishing gear to serve the same community that supported us from the beginning.
Whether you're heading to the water at dawn or preparing for the hunt season, we keep our shelves full and our advice honest. No pushy sales tactics — just real gear from real people who know the difference between a good day outside and a great one.

Everything for
the Trail & the Water
From live bait in the morning to ammunition in the afternoon — we're your one-stop shop for the Indiana outdoors.
Bait & Tackle
Live bait, artificial lures, lines, hooks, and terminal tackle — everything anglers need for the local lakes and rivers. We rotate stock daily so what you buy is fresh.
Firearms
Rifles, shotguns, and handguns from trusted manufacturers. Our team helps you find the right fit — whether it's for hunting, sport, or home protection.
Ammunition
Broad selection of centerfire and rimfire ammo for hunting and target shooting. We carry the calibers that matter in southern Indiana — and we keep them in stock.
Hunting Gear
Camouflage clothing, tree stands, calls, scent control, and safety gear. We prep you for the field so you can focus on the hunt.

Trusted by
the Community
Best bait shop in the area, hands down. They always have what I need, and the folks here actually know their stuff. I drive past a few others just to stop here.
— Local Angler
Bought my first shotgun here and the staff walked me through everything — no pressure, no rush. Felt comfortable the whole time. That kind of service is rare.
— First-Time Buyer
We've been coming to Red Barn for years. It's become a Salem tradition for our family — hunting season starts the moment we walk through the door.
