NEW COLOR DROP!
4” MINN-FIN – SMELT (094)
When it comes to the Great Lakes, SMELT just makes sense.
From walleye and lake trout to bass, salmon, and pike — predator fish are hardwired to hunt smelt forage. Our new SMELT (094) color in the 4” MINN-FIN was designed to match that natural profile with a realistic translucent body, subtle baitfish flash, and our NEW iridescent material that shifts blue and purple depending on light and water angle.
Combined with our salt & scent infused formula, the result is a bait that looks alive on the drop, on the retrieve, and on forward-facing sonar.
• Great Lakes forage match
• Iridescent blue/purple flash technology
• Salt & scent infused
• Deadly for jigging or cast & retrieve
Target Species:
• Walleye
• Lake Trout
• Bass
• Salmon
• Northern Pike

Spring Jumbo Perch EXPLODE on Goby Baits | Lake Simcoe 2026 Spring jumbo perch fishing on Lake Simcoe was absolutely on fire in this 2026 early season outing with Nelson Murakami from Natural Sports – The Fishing Stor...
ICE OUT | Jumbo Perch | Lake Simcoe | Slamming Jumbos on GRUMPY’s
Last week, I hit Lake Simcoe with Nelson Murakami, owner of Natural Sports. Armed with GRUMPY Baits—our 2.9” Finesse Goby, 2.6” Round Goby, 2.6” Mini Minn-FIN, and 2.25” Mini Grubby—we nailed jumbo perch.
These baits match the hatch so well, live bait’s taking a back seat.
Proudly Canadian—thanks to Natural Sports and all our loyal anglers for trusting GRUMPY Baits, season after season!
Stay tuned for our full YouTube video coming soon!
SIMCOE JUMBOS ON FIRE!
A fun and rewarding day on the water with Natural Sports - The Fishing Store owner, Nelson Murakami - what a slamfest!
When perch are keyed in on goby and emerald shiners, you’ve got to match what they’re feeding on—and that’s exactly what we did.
The difference makers:
* 2.6” ROUND Goby
* 2.9” FINESSE Goby
* 2.6” Mini Minn-FIN
* 2.25” Mini GRUBBY
Result? A pile of quality jumbos in the boat—all on plastics. No live bait, no hassle.
If you want one of those days where every drop feels like it could be a tank… Simcoe is firing right now—and having the right forage match makes all the difference.

Spring salmon fishing just changed.
Most anglers troll for salmon — but we decided to try something different…jigging with our 4” Minn-FIN baits.
https://youtu.be/iMdNgU6FYaw?si=pPEKEN9VUjtShsPd
The result? Aggressive strikes, better control, and a completely different way to target salmon with light gear. SO MUCH FUN!
