The Lake Trout offer fantastic early season (shallow-water), mid-summer (deep-water) and winter ice fishing action.  To accomodate all depth profiles and feeding behaviour, we've pulled together our top three baits that are proven to catch lake trout all year long. These baits can be vertically jigged or drop shotted with some some amazing success.   All our baits are supple, yet durable and infused with hand-ground seasalt and fish attractant to entice the bite.

• 3.3 " GOLIATH Goby [ Lake Simcoe Goby color ] is an incredibly realistic imitation of a round goby now found throughout Lake Simcoe and across much of the Great Lakes.  Lake Trout and many other species are now targetting goby as their primary food source so adding this bait to your tacklebox is a must. Ned jig or drop shot this bait!
• 4" Minn-FIN [ Snowy Crackle color + UV + GLOW ] is our latest minnow imitation bait that boasts several industry-breaking technologies. Minn-FIN improves upon the popular fluke style bait, with enhanced body shape design and an all new, ground breaking caudal fin engineered to maximize fin movement in 360 degrees of direction. Ned jig, damiki rig or drop shot this bait!  View video here
  
• 2.6" Mini Minn-FIN [ Emerald Shiner color ] is brand new, small profile minnow imitation bait that mimicks Emeral Shiners found in Lake Simcoe.  However, we've made this bait in a 2.6" size what Lake Trout target when they are more finicky.
• Loaded with our new signature HAMMER JUICE
  
• Loaded with hand-ground, sea salt so fish hang on longer
• GOLIATH Goby (Lake Simcoe) - 6 pieces, Minn-FIN - 8 pieces (Snowy Crackle UV + GLOW), Mini Minn-FIN - 10 pieces (Emerald Shiner)

LAKE TROUT ANGLER TESTIMONIALS

Jason DoyonAvid Angler

We fish for Whitefish, Lake Trout, Burbot and Perch on the north end of Lake Huron. This year we decided to try GRUMPY Bait Company goby baits. Well, not only did they do everything in their power to get the baits shipped the same day, the 2.25" Mini Goby helped us land a ton of Whitefish, Burbot and Perch! It's great to use such an original and unique bait made right here in Ontario! I would highly recommend you try their baits. "

Mike SmallAvid Angler, Cabin Creek Rep.

"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."

Martin DraegerAvid Angler

"The GRUMPY Goby Series of baits have been a proven bait for Lake Trout across the Great Lakes Region. Whether fishing Lake Simcoe or any of the inland lakes in North Ontario, these baits simply catch Lake Trout!"

Alessandro KrickAvid Angler

"Growing up in Niagara Falls, I learned to fish in the Niagara River for trout, bass and walleye over a decade ago. Since then I have become a diehard steelhead/trout angler, and a serious smallmouth bass angler, fishing Lake Erie primarily. I first found GRUMPY Baits through the Minn-FIN with its unique fish catching action for lake trout, rainbow, and brown trout fished under a bobber. "
