Collection: Grumpy Bait Company

When vertically jigging for walleye, certain bait styles are more effective, especially with the rise of round goby in the Great Lakes Region. Anglers are recognizing the importance of goby as a food source for various fish species and are turning to goby-style baits. In the past, Detroit and St. Clair river anglers only had access to worm and fluke baits, but now GRUMPY Bait Company is leading the way by offering innovative and realistic goby bait options.

Here are some important factors to consider when using goby-style baits:

• Walleye can easily recognize goby profiles in high-velocity river environments
• Round goby have become a crucial food source for Great Lakes walleye
• Goby baits with two dorsal fins and one large vertically-oriented caudal fin are key features
• Natural and realistic colours can improve catch ratio in clean water conditions
• Dark colours can improve catch ratio in dirty water conditions
• GRUMPY Bait Company specializes in goby baits and offers a wider range of styles and colours than any other manufacturer in North America.
