The Full Story

About Us

Being involved in fisheries management working under some of the best biologists in the area for over 27 years, we've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. The different management techniques and programs have all helped in building an experience level with a hand's-on approach and understanding that puts us in a very unique position to share and pass on that knowledge by helping you, the customer to cash in on that education to help bring your pond to the highest standards possible for years of enjoyment and family fun.

Our Mission

Our mission is to honor the proven success of Big Eye Spinnerbaits while driving innovation in lure design. We strive to deliver spinnerbaits that blend craftsmanship, performance, and realism, helping anglers of all levels achieve success on the water.
