The Game-Changer Every Angler Needs: Bait Bags

Keeping bait on the hook is one of the top priorities of all anglers — and one of the biggest frustrations when things go wrong. Whether you’re fishing from the surf, a pier, or deep offshore, losing bait before your target species even gets a sniff can ruin the whole experience.

Soft baits like oysters, clams, mussels, chicken liver, or thawed anchovies and herring are among the worst offenders. You cast out — only to watch the bait fling off. Or maybe the surf, current, or a swarm of tiny bait thieves strips your hook clean long before a quality fish ever sees it. Too often, if you do not hook your fish on that first bite, your bait is simply gone.

If you cannot keep your bait on the hook long enough to attract your target fish, you’re basically spitting into the wind.
That’s where bait bags win the day.

Not All Bait Bags Are Created Equal

The “holy grail” of bait bags is one that:

  • Is strong enough to hold soft baits securely,

  • Releases plenty of scent to form a powerful bait trail,

  • Stays durable against pecks, bites, and heavy current,

  • And remains nearly invisible, so it never detracts from the natural look of your presentation.

That’s exactly what sets Mossy Head Bait Company’s Bait Bag Wraps apart. After years of experimentation and thousands of hours on the water, we’ve developed bait bags that outperform all others — hands down.

Built for Every Bait and Every Angler

Our bait bags come in multiple sizes and mesh types to match just about any fishing situation — from catfish in the river to deep-water beasts offshore. They’re perfect for soft or messy baits like:

  • Oysters

  • Mussels

  • Clams

  • Chicken liver

  • Anchovies

  • Herring

  • Scad

  • Cigar minnows

We even make bait bags for live crabs, including fiddlers and mole crabs (sand fleas). Want to fish a full anchovy for striped bass? Our Anchovy Bait Bag Wraps are made for exactly that. Need something larger? Step up to our 6-inch wraps for herring or cigar minnows.

Smarter Bait Loading

Soft or mushy baits can be tough to load — but we’ve solved that too. Our system includes tools like the bait injector (for pastes or ground baits) and bait loading tube (for inserting chunks or fillets). These tools make it simple to load your bait bag cleanly, securely, and without the mess.

Create Custom “Cocktail” Baits

Our Wrap Fishing System lets anglers combine multiple baits into potent “cocktail” mixes. If you’re chasing catfish and want to blend your secret recipe — just mash your ingredients together, load them into one of our bait bags, and you’re ready to fish. The scent release and durability make for one deadly presentation.

Why Struggle With Threads or Elastic?

If you’ve ever tried tying bait with elastic thread or string, you know it’s slow, messy, and inconsistent. With our Bait Bag Wraps, you can bag your bait quickly, keep it secure, and spend more time fishing — not re-baiting.

Bottom line: Mossy Head Bait Company’s Bait Bags take the frustration out of fishing with soft baits. They keep your bait where it belongs — on the hook — and keep you focused on what really matters: catching fish.
