Porter's Castaic Magic
Our summer and fall secret weapon for striped bass and surface-feeding largemouth, this silver top with hologram black and glitter flake bottom 1.5" body micro-fluke bait measuring 2" from nose to tail, is the closest replica of the average year-round Castaic Lake Shad in existence and is effective using a variety of presentations. Give it a try as a topwater or dropshot bait, you won't be sorry.

We're Bass Bait Fanatics!
Two friends and fishing partners who suffer from the common recreational angler problem we've labeled "BBA" (Bait Buying Addiction.) We love finding and trying out unique and interesting bass baits and seeing what we can get fish to bite on.
We buy custom baits. We have baits hand-poured for us custom by dozens of local anglers in their garages across the USA. We hunt for custom and unique baits from "big bait brand" injection factories in China that produce color and glitter combinations not possible with hand-pouring. We buy, custom order, and sell soft baits most bass have never seen before.
Share Our Local Fishing Culture!

Helping Anglers Learn
From helping first timers figure things out, to volunteering at kids and family fishing events, our #1 goal is using our knowledge of soft fishing baits to help people learn to fish, and help those struggling to consistently catch fish.

Meet Jon and Julie Potts
Bait Merchant Pro-Staff members Jon and Julie Potts are a bass tournament champion husband and wife fishing team that loves teaching other anglers when they're not busy winning prizes. They truly embody what it means to love bass fishing.

We Love Being On the Water
Even when the bite is tough, we love being out on the water enjoying nature, the local wildlife, discovering new spots and trying new things. If you see us, say hi and we'll give you samples of whatever is working for us that day.
