Please welcome a new sponsor Knutsons Live Bait

[Iceshanty]

Please welcome a new sponsor Knutsonlivebait.com
Knutsons's will be sponsoring the Iceshanty home page, MI board and the ice fishing baits board.

Knutson's carries a large selection of Live Bait, most of it year around, Live Bait such as Night Crawlers, Baby Crawlers, Green Crawlers, Jumbo Panfish Worms, Leeches, Wax Worms, Spikes, Mousee's, Euro Larva, Meal Grubs, Preserved Wigglers, Crickets, and Spawn. Much of this Live Bait can be used as Pet Food for Lizards, Spiders, Turtles, Blue Birds and many other pets and animals where these types of Baits are used for food.
We at Knutson's have been in the live bait business for close to 50 years here in Michigan, Jim Knutson came to Michigan from Minnesota in the early 60's to help expand the family bait business in Annandale, MN.  Jim was a early pioneer in the packaged bait business and was one of the first to use mail-order as a way of supplying stores with their live bait.  As the industry has changed over the years so has Knutson's.

We offer this site to those fishermen that are finding it more and more difficult to find the high quality Live Bait that was once in every Bait Shop that dotted the landscape around the Midwest.  We at Knutson's understand what the Fisherman is looking for in Live Bait these days as our Retail Bait Shop in Brooklyn, MI is in the heart of 50 lakes in a 15 mile radius.

By having this Bait Shop it allows us to always be on top of new Bait trends from the testing of Colored Wax Worms for Pike or Salmon. If you ever get the chance to fish the Irish Hills area be sure and stop in as we will help you find the best lakes for the type of fish you plan to target, and don't forget that we also carry a large selection of Minnows in our store.

I bought some spikes/euro larva from Knutson's after I ran out mid-season and am really impresssed with their quality. The spikes I got were so much bigger, plumper, and livlier than what I normally get from another place. I will definately make Knutson's my bait store of choice for future ice seasons. Thanks for sponsoring IceShanty.

Hi guys. My buddy, Mike swears that you guys have anything and everything you could possibly have for ice fishing. He gets your wax worms in bulk. And at a great price. You guys have added a lot since I moved to Lansing.

I always start off the season with a quick stop into Brooklyn to pick up a tub of 250 waxies and 1000 spikes at Jim and Tom's shop before heading up to the NAIFC championship in December. Knutson's rocks not only for quality bait but for jig selection as well.  Great supports for local fishing and anglers, too.

Welcome to Knutson's!!!  I am also new to iceshanty and I am a lucky one as I only live 8 miles from Knutson's, they have a better selection of ice equipment than even Cabela's in Dundee especially when it comes to ice jigs!!  Knutson's Sporting Goods is 1 class act!!  Thanks to all at Knutson's for all you do for the Hunting/Fishing world!!
