Mail order live bait
« on: Jan 10, 2008, 06:56 PM »
I am not seeing a bait sponsor on this board.
Can anyone reccommend a good mail order source?

I have used www.grubco.com and www.vadosbait.com.
Both have been decent so far.

I bought 5,000 spikes and 500 waxies from Vados and yes their shipping was high but compared to the higher priced bait from some of the other Companies and then shipping on that   there wasnt much of a difference in the end price.

Plenty of options, go for service, as they all have bait.  Its the service that sells.

Bring up Waxworm or Beemoth on the net and have them ship you a kit where you can grow all you want year after year for about $20.00!

Why not just go to your local Mom and Pop store and eliminate the shipping cost.
