FAQ
Q: Where is Fish Bum Tackle based?
A: We’re proudly based in Hudsonville, Michigan, and focused on designing baits that perform all across the United States. Whether you're fishing locally or across the country, our products are made to produce.
Q: Can I buy Fish Bum baits in stores?
A: Yes! While we sell directly on our website, Fish Bum Tackle is also available in select retail locations. Visit our Dealers page to find a shop near you.
Q: What species can I catch with Fish Bum baits?
A: Fish Bum baits are designed to catch a variety of species, including walleye, bass, lake trout, cisco, whitefish, and perch.
Q: Do your baits work for open water fishing?
A: Absolutely! Our Raddletail is specifically designed for open water fishing rivers, lakes and the ocean, while our Heavy Hitters are versatile for both open water and ice fishing. Whether you're fishing deep water, shallow current, vertical jigging, or casting, Fish Bum baits are built to perform and get bit.
Q: Are your baits good for ice fishing?
A: Yes! Many of our baits, especially the Heavy Hitter, are highly effective for ice fishing. The compact profile, bright glow, and increased density make them great for attracting fish in cold, low-light conditions under the ice.
Q: How does the Fish Bum Tackle Raddletail compare to the Lake Effect Rattle Paddle or the Cast Prodigy?
A: While all three are rattling paddle-style swimbaits, our Raddletail features a distinct profile, custom scent, and unique slow-speed action. We took extra time to refine the design and deliver a durable, high-performance paddletail that stands on its own. We always encourage anglers to try all three and see what works best for their style.
