WALLEYE ANGLER TESTIMONIALS
Captain Steve FalconChief Charters, USA
"As Great Lakes fish adapt to feeding on Gobies, it only makes sense that fishermen also adapt their baits to match this new forage. I knew I needed a Goby pattern in my arsenal to maximize my catch and Grumpy Bait Company has that covered. Grumpy's Goby series has the perfect Goby profile from any angle and comes in a variety of sizes and colors. With this new addition of Goby to the already proven worm and minnow patterns, there's nothing I can't catch with Grumpy."

"Awesome baits guys!! Unbelievable how tough yet soft your baits are!! I'm really glad I found your baits! I've been using the fluke jr's for a while now and saw that yours were more supple and when I tried them out my hookup ratio has been excellent. Keep up the good work!!"
Curtis DraegerAvid Angler
Fishing the St. Clair river with the 3.3" GOLIATH Goby was on fire. Using a 3/4oz jig, tapping the goby off the bottom was extremely productive. Kinda makes sense given all the goby in the Great Lakes and how walleye love eating them. Nice work on the baits GRUMPY!

"My favorite species to pursue are walleye and smallmouth. I love the sheer power and fight that comes with hooking smallmouth, while on the other hand I love the suttleness and technique that is required to catch walleye. ... walleye can't seem to resist the finesse TZR-Worm"

Chad BeaupreRecreational Angler
Jigging for walleye on the Detroit or St Clair Rivers has been insane since I switched over to GRUMPY Baits GOLIATH Goby and Minn-Fin's. Unlike the standard fluke and worm-style baits, these goby and minnow imitations are different which gives me the edge when targeting walleye.
Jay MarteniukAvid Angler
"I've fished for walleye across Ontario and since using GRUMPY Baits GOLIATH Goby, I've consistently caught more and bigger walleye particularly on the Detroit River. Keep it up GRUMPY! And yes, I would highly recommend these goby baits to anyone fishing the Great Lakes"
Mario GeorghiadesAvid Angler
"I have a cottage on Lake St. Clair and fish the Detroit River, St. Clair River and Lake St Clair a lot. Since the release of GRUMPY gobys in 2020, I have pretty much changed up all my plastics to GRUMPY Baits. They catch fish, are durable but supple enough to create amazing action."
Marty DraegerGRUMPY Bait Company
When I started GRUMPY Bait company, I was trying to fill a gap in the market. The fact was, round goby were everywhere, yet bait manufacturers were not making realistic, anatomically correct goby baits. Fast forward and GRUMPY is now the recognized leader in goby baits and we make more styles and colors so you, our customers have access to effect and productive goby baits.
Adam MooreAvid Angler
Been using GRUMPY Goby and the Minn-Fin for a few years now. I fish the Detroit River each spring and these baits have been a game-changer. When nobody is catching fish, I am. I think this is because the baits have a very real profile, similar to what they are eating all their lives. Great baits and great price!"
GOBY FACTS
Great Lakes Anglers Did You Know?
"In 2022, 336 Walleye stomachs were examined of which only 49 (15%) contained food remains (Wilkins 2023a). Round goby was the dominant (57%) walleye diet item..."
"The round goby ... has become an important prey for piscivorous species in the St. Lawrence River, representing from 21% to 64% of the diet of sauger, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch."
