John Petroski a.k.a. Captain Castaic created C3 Baits 15 years ago when he saw a need for something different and something local for the hard pressured waters of the Clearwater reservoirs like California's legendary Castaic Lake.

A ZLF BASS Nation Champion and Top Stick Tour angler with 45 years of fishing experience, John has been making high performance bass baits for decades. Each bait is impeccably hand crafted. You will notice the pride taken with every pour and quickly see why C3 Baits has its long record of proven year-round performance in just about any condition.
