Smallmouth bass are among the top sports species that continue to elude anglers.  Sometimes, you can throw anything at them and catch plenty throughout the day.  Other times, you can't even get a sniff.  That's where our Smallie Slam Pack comes in.  These three bait styles and color combinations are proven over and over again.  Whether in sunny or overcast conditions or whether fish are playing hard to get, these baits offer you the ability to use multiple techniques to entice the bite.

• GOLIATH Goby [Muddy Glow] is an incredibly realistic imitation of a round goby now found across the Great Lakes region and across North America.  Bass as well as numerous other fish species have tuned into goby as a primary food source and has made our goby baits extremely popular.  They catch fish!  Ned jig or drop shot this bait.
• TZR-WORM [Lake Simcoe Goby Color] is our new midwest finesse style worm bait that has become very popular when targetting walleye.  This color combination, plus the bottom bouncing action entice bass to bite hard!  Ned or drop shot rig them.
• CRAWDADDIE [Black Eye Pumpkin] is designed with two whiskers and a brand new EDGE-CLAW design that makes each claw move more realistically through the water.  Like the real thing, the claws move inward with each jig movement to mimic the actual motions of a fleeing crayfish.
• Loaded with our signature HAMMER JUICE
  
• Loaded with hand-ground, sea salt so fish hang on longer
• GOLIATH Goby 6 pcs, TZR-WORM 8 pcs, CRAWDADDIE 6 pcs

BASS ANGLER TESTIMONIALS

Mike SmallAvid Angler

I finally got out on Erie today and put the Round Goby to the test and it did not disappoint. 40 fish day and 37 came on the 2.6" ROUND Goby in Natural Goby/Chartreuse on a 3/8 football head. We out fished all the boats around us. It was a great day.

Cam WheelerAvid Angler, Lake St. Clair Expert

"I had the pleasure of trying out GRUMPY Baits a couple summers ago and I must say it has completely changed the game for me. Everyone knows tube jigs and dropshotting are killer for smallmouth but for me, the Goliath Goby on a 1/4oz Ned head has caught me bigger fish and more fish."

Cory HoltAvid Angler

Love your plastics the smallies are crushing them!!! Thanks for making a bait that works. Twenty (20) smallies, 4-pound average before the bait was done.

Steven de BoyrieAvid Angler

PB Smallie, 17.5 inches but spilling over the bumpy board and definitely 5+ lbs. Fall fishing from the kayak has been good for me. And it feels like a broken record but caught this striped toad last weekend dropshotting a [GRUMPY Bait Company] 2.6" Round Goby again!

Dwayne SooleyAvid Angler

"Fishing tournaments and derby events requires unique, original bait designs that align to what the fish respond to. GRUMPY Bait Company has knocked bait design out-of-the-park with an incredible selection of baits such as their Goby Series, Finesse Series and Micro Series baits."

"This bait [2.6" Mini Minn-FIN] slays! St. Lawrence river smallies were all over it at the Franny Cup! I fully expect my competitors to have these in their tackle box for next season. The smallies on Lake Huron were chewing them today!"

Santino Di PietrantonioAvid Angler

"We were drop shotting for bass around some islands. I was using a ZMan Trick Shot. I kept catching small bass. I turned to my buddy and said, "I need to upsize my bait.". Thankfully I brought the pack of Minn-FIN's (Baby Bass color) I won from the Paddle Get Together last month and threw on a Minn-FIN. The first drop and hooked up with a mammoth of a smallie. I don't like to exaggerate but it was easily 4lbs. After that, I kept putting on the remaining Minn-FIN from the package and they caught me numerous bass in a short time!"

Connor EbbenAvid Angler, Wisconsin, USA.

Hey Martin. Saw you're the founder of GRUMPY Baits. Love the baits! They work phenomenally on smallies here in Wisconsin. ,

Kevin Dean-GroveAvid Angler

"Up-north, the big bass love the @grumpybaits 3.3" Goliath Goby. This 5.13lb, 20.5" behemoth of a largemouth bass took one look and the rest is history"

Jake Patterson and Ashton CampbellAvid Anglers, Waterloo Region, ON, Canada

"Grumpy Baits stands alone in the fishing world and has been a vital part of our fishing success when they graced the shelves at Natural Sports and many other locations. Using the Mini Minn-Fin on a ⅛ oz jig head has only benefited our daily catch on smallmouth and other species. "

Jack TindallAvid Angler, Indiana, USA

"Recently, I discovered GRUMPY Bait Company and immediately saw the value of their line-up of soft plastic baits. I particularly liked the goby series of baits and started using the Goliath Goby using a variety of techniques including drop shotting and ned jigging. I also also used it on a wobble head dragging it along the bottom with great success!"

Ryan BiggsAvid Angler, Elora Region

"I have the most success catching smallmouth with Grumpy’s Crawdaddie and walleye can't seem to resist the finesse TZR-Worm. I aspire to one day accumulate enough skill and knowledge to have the opportunity to fish the bassmaster classic."

Brent HashimotoAvid Angler

"Couple hundred landed perch, this years PB smallie with 5.9lbs, and a new species off my list. Big shout out to @grumpybaits who I was shown today not only catches them, but I caught at least 20 fish on one bait with many more bites and pulls then that. Highly recommend them, great plastic!"

Joe BuchananTournament Angler

"Hey Mr.! Thank you for making an awesome goby. I pounded the bass on the bay today in the FQFS Tourney, all caught on the GOLIATH Goby (Lake Simcoe Goby color). Hands down the best I have ever used!"

Tom SmithAvid Angler, Indiana, USA

"These @grumpybaits Goliath Gobys are one of my new favourite dropshot baits. The smallmouth just slurp them up!"

Dwayne SooleyAvid Angler, Belleville Area

"I really like the new colors of the TZR~WORM. This TZR has a slower fall better than most ned worms; not only that, with salt and scent, which is a key factor for me, topped with a durable plastic I don't have to change on every fish. Grumpy Baits has truly mastered this ned finesse bait!"
