About Us
We at Knutson's have been in the live bait business for over 50 years here in Michigan. Jim Knutson came to Michigan from Minnesota in the early 1960's to help expand the family bait business in Annandale, MN. Jim was an 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 and women that are finding it more and more difficult to find high quality Live Bait. The industry has changed from the family bait shops to now, most bait being purchased at the local convenience store. We at Knutson's understand what you are looking for in live bait, because we have a local traditional bait shop in Brooklyn, MI, which is in the heart of 50 lakes with in a 15 mile radius of our location.
Knutson's Live Bait 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, Extra Bright Maggots, Mousees, Meal Worms, Preserved Wigglers, Crickets, and Spawn. Besides being used as live bait much of this product can also 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.
This online bait shop allows you to always be on top of new bait trends. If you ever get the chance to fish the Irish Hills area, be sure to stop in as we will help you find the best lakes for the type of fish you plan to target. We also carry a large selection of minnows in our retail store!
