Eastern 1st Rate Bait

Just found ourselves thinking back to a few years ago when we fought hard in Augusta to keep our bait in the hands of fishermen. Feels good to be considered hon...est, hard working people that stood up when there was no one else around that even cared to hear about what taking away our product would do to the hard working men and women in the industry. We have seen many similar bait companies come and go but have continued to do what matters most to fishermen and will never stop. Almost 10 years in business and over 100,000 Buckets sold says quite a lot, but there is more to be said about a company that doesn’t make excuses and makes it right no matter the cost. This we have proven with a excellent track record to back it up. We look forward to continued business with the customers we have earned and our future customers, all of which require the experience and history of a company that has validated its product with steady, unwavering quality and unlimited supply year after year.
