I finally got out on Erie today and put the Round Goby to the test and it did not disappoint. 40 fish day and 37 came on the 2.6" ROUND Goby in Natural Goby/Chartreuse on a 3/8 football head. We out fished all the boats around us. It was a great day.
Cam WheelerAvid Angler, Lake St. Clair Expert
"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."

Love your plastics the smallies are crushing them!!!
Thanks for making a bait that works. Twenty (20) smallies, 4-pound average before the bait was done.

PB Smallie, 17.5 inches but spilling over the bumpy board and definitely 5+ lbs.
Fall fishing from the kayak has been good for me. And it feels like a broken record but caught this striped toad last weekend dropshotting a [GRUMPY Bait Company] 2.6" Round Goby again!

"Fishing tournaments and derby events requires unique, original bait designs that align to what the fish respond to. GRUMPY Bait Company has knocked bait design out-of-the-park with an incredible selection of baits such as their Goby Series, Finesse Series and Micro Series baits."

"This bait [2.6" Mini Minn-FIN] slays! St. Lawrence river smallies were all over it at the Franny Cup! I fully expect my competitors to have these in their tackle box for next season. The smallies on Lake Huron were chewing them today!"
Santino Di PietrantonioAvid Angler
"We were drop shotting for bass around some islands. I was using a ZMan Trick Shot. I kept catching small bass. I turned to my buddy and said, "I need to upsize my bait.". Thankfully I brought the pack of Minn-FIN's (Baby Bass color) I won from the Paddle Get Together last month and threw on a Minn-FIN.
The first drop and hooked up with a mammoth of a smallie. I don't like to exaggerate but it was easily 4lbs. After that, I kept putting on the remaining Minn-FIN from the package and they caught me numerous bass in a short time!"

Hey Martin. Saw you're the founder of GRUMPY Baits. Love the baits! They work phenomenally on smallies here in Wisconsin.

"Up-north, the big bass love the @grumpybaits 3.3" Goliath Goby. This 5.13lb, 20.5" behemoth of a largemouth bass took one look and the rest is history"
Jake Patterson and Ashton CampbellAvid Anglers, Waterloo Region, ON, Canada
"Grumpy Baits stands alone in the fishing world and has been a vital part of our fishing success when they graced the shelves at Natural Sports and many other locations. Using the Mini Minn-Fin on a ⅛ oz jig head has only benefited our daily catch on smallmouth and other species. "
Jack TindallAvid Angler, Indiana, USA
"Recently, I discovered GRUMPY Bait Company and immediately saw the value of their line-up of soft plastic baits. I particularly liked the goby series of baits and started using the Goliath Goby using a variety of techniques including drop shotting and ned jigging. I also also used it on a wobble head dragging it along the bottom with great success!"
Ryan BiggsAvid Angler, Elora Region
"I have the most success catching smallmouth with Grumpy’s Crawdaddie and walleye can't seem to resist the finesse TZR-Worm. I aspire to one day accumulate enough skill and knowledge to have the opportunity to fish the bassmaster classic."
Brent HashimotoAvid Angler
"Couple hundred landed perch, this years PB smallie with 5.9lbs, and a new species off my list. Big shout out to @grumpybaits who I was shown today not only catches them, but I caught at least 20 fish on one bait with many more bites and pulls then that. Highly recommend them, great plastic!"
Joe BuchananTournament Angler
"Hey Mr.! Thank you for making an awesome goby. I pounded the bass on the bay today in the FQFS Tourney, all caught on the GOLIATH Goby (Lake Simcoe Goby color). Hands down the best I have ever used!"
Tom SmithAvid Angler, Indiana, USA
"These @grumpybaits Goliath Gobys are one of my new favourite dropshot baits. The smallmouth just slurp them up!"
Dwayne SooleyAvid Angler, Belleville Area
"I really like the new colors of the TZR~WORM. This TZR has a slower fall better than most ned worms; not only that, with salt and scent, which is a key factor for me, topped with a durable plastic I don't have to change on every fish. Grumpy Baits has truly mastered this ned finesse bait!"

GOBY FACTS
Great Lakes Anglers Did You Know?
"Round goby represented 86% of the stomach contents of smallmouth bass and 29% of largemouth bass, confirming that round goby are an important food source for piscivorous fish in Lake Ontario, and likely the other Laurentian Great Lakes."
"Smallmouth bass diet percent occurrence in 2022 was dominated by Round Goby (87%), which is typical for the species "
"Round goby became the dominant prey of smallmouth bass after its invasion (observed in 73.3% of diets), and crayfish were only observed in 5.8% of diets in the post-round goby time period."
Largemouth Bass diets are more varied than Smallmouth Bass, with ten distinct prey species identified in 2022. Round Goby (49%) and Gizzard Shad (27%) made up the majority. (27%)"
