We wanted to say thank you for all of your support and in celebrating our 5th year anniversary we are launching a limited edition of the Sexy Smelt. This tri-color is available in 1/4 oz, 5/8 oz, and 1.5 oz. We tested the bait for the past year and this summer it was so effective on Bass, Halibut, Yellow Tail, White Sea Bass, and Rockfish. For rock fishing, we recommend using the double rig set up and all instructional videos can be found at www.hookupbaits.com/videos/. You can also use our Mermaid Milk Crustacean scent to give the bait a red belly look and scent trail that the fish crave. The launch of the Sexy Sardine was so successful, so we went back to design to create another tricolor that we find even MORE effective and successful! The release is a limited edition, so be sure to place your order [...]

Last year we were asked by a Southern CA fisherman that does a lot of lobster fishing if we had ever considered using our Mermaids Milk for lobster fishing. So, Chad went into design mode and with the help of one of our fellow HUB Team members, we tested the new design with our Mermaids Milk scent against what is typically used for lobster fishing. During the lobster season last year, we found that the Hookup Baits Lobster Candies with Mermaids Milk was beyond effective! Features: Long-lasting Easy to use Simple application No clean up required Cost-effective No mess on the boat No collecting and storing bait More freezer space Lightweight and portable for kayak fisherman Durable Natural feel to the lobster Slow-release scent trail Mermaids Milk uses real fish oils in scent More lobsters for dinner! The Lobster Candies Kit comes with (2) baits ready to use and [...]
