Blue Cypress Lake, Florida ...
Where Blackwater Baits Were Born!

Welcome to Blackwater Bait Co.

 

Designed to catch fish – not fishermen – wood lures  manufactured by Blackwater Bait Co. are handmade  and painted, using the finest components available.  For 100 years, the most productive fishing lures  – the Dalton Special, Creek Chub and many more  old favorites – have been made of wood.
That's still true today! However, modern manufacturing processes and the introduction of plastic in today's lure-making quickly overtook wooden lures in terms of cost in manufacturing. Advances in automation further reduced the cost of building lures.

Today, experienced anglers –  both freshwater and saltwater –  still use lures made of plastic, but many have found the lures of days gone by –  namely, wooden lures –   out-perform their plastic counterparts. At Blackwater Bait Co., we make the finest lures money can buy,  striving to bring back the lures of long ago, with today's finest hooks, hardware and finishes. Blackwater Bait Co. ... Long-time Traditions in American Bass Fishing!
