Krippled Anchovy
Krippled Fishing Lures, USA began in 1991 with the idea to introduce the United States market to Krippled Fishing Lures baitheads. Krippled Fishing Lures began producing the Krippled Minnow, Krippled Anchovy and Krippled Herring in Canada in the 1970’s, and is continuing to this day. We firmly believe that we offer the best working, easiest to use and most productive baitheads on the market. When Krippled Fishing Lures, USA began, there was only 6 color choices offered. Today the fisherman can choose from over 200 variations of colors or rigging options, with more coming out every year. All of these variations have been thoroughly tested by a devoted Testing team, it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. I had been fishing Monterey Bay Salmon for many years before I found Krippled Anchovies. They were a game changer. Bayside Marine was the first retail store in the US to agree to carry Krippled, and they have stayed with us for over 30 years now. Thank you Todd and Don Fraser.

Real Avid
When you meet someone and they ask “What do you do?” What’s your answer? That you’re a supervisor? A salesman? A builder? A lawyer? Or do you tell them what you really do? That you live for the times that fill your soul. Not your wallet. You live for journeys that can take you anywhere but always to a place with the goal of doing what you love and connecting with all that surrounds you. It’s a life of traditions, integrity and honor. Respect for others and yourself. A life of the quest, the conquest and the responsibilities that come with each. It’s not the life everyone chooses. But, for you there is simply no other way. We want to be with you on your journeys. And we’ll pursue that goal as you do – with a sense of dedication to live life with a passion that never ends.
