Bait Bucket and the McCormick family have been supplying Tri-State fishermen with quality live bait and tackle since 1984. We sell only high quality bait that sell and catch fish.

We proudly carry high quality Canadian Nightcrawlers and our signature Super Worms (also called European Redworms), which are a great reliable alternative to seasonal garden worms, as well as large mealworms, crickets, and of course we sell certified Arkansas raised Shiner Minnows. Rosie Reds, Goldfish and Chubs are offered as season permits. We are also proud to be a major distributer for "Triple S" Channel Cat Bait (Formerly Sonny's Super Sticky Channel Catfish Bait) in the Tri-State area. Need Skip Jack? WE GOT IT.
