GOBY Series - From The Company That Specializes In Goby Baits

The invasion of Round Goby has rocked the professional and recreational fishing community, with goby populations exploding across the Great Lakes Region and into many inland lakes, rivers and streams beyond. It is a proven fact that fish species such as bass, walleye, lake trout, whitefish, yellow perch and more have switched up their diets to feast on round goby as a primary food source [reference]. That's where GRUMPY Bait Company stepped in – we saw the trend and started innovating incredibly lifelike goby baits that have changed the game for many anglers. Fast forward, and we're now the recognized experts in designing and manufacturing goby baits as well as offering research-based science to educate anglers about goby.  So, if you're on the hunt for that new fishing bait, look no further. Get your GRUMPY Goby on and see why so many anglers have come to trust our baits.
