🎯 PART 1: KEEPING FROZEN BAIT ON THE HOOK

Common Frozen Baits:

Anchovies
Sardines
Cigar Minnows
Pilchards
Herring
Ballyhoo

Anglers targeting everything from Striped Bass, Mackerel, Redfish, to Snook rely on these frozen baitfish. But once thawed, they go soft fast. By the time you cast, you’re losing chunks to the surf, current, or the first peck from a pinfish or perch.

❌ Old Methods:

Magic Thread/String: Time-consuming and awkward to wrap around a slippery baitfish.
Elastic Bands / Mesh: Bulky and cumbersome, often kills bait action and still falls off.
Sewing the Bait: Impractical and tedious for any angler who wants to get more than three casts in per hour.

All of these methods offer minimal protection from water impact, and absolutely no defense against small peckers and bait thieves.

✅ The Mossy Head Solution: Anchovy Bait Bags

Our Anchovy Bait Bags solve all these problems. Here's why:

Quick to rig – Just slip your frozen bait chunk into the bag and hook it.
Strong but Soft – Built from our exclusive hexagon-shaped mesh, which provides superior strength without bulk.
Translucent Design – The mesh virtually disappears underwater, letting the bait speak for itself.
Holds Shape – No more splattered sardine when your cast hits the water.
Better Longevity – Survives multiple casts and keeps the small bait thieves from stripping you clean before the target fish arrives.

The hex mesh structure is not random—it’s engineered. The hexagon offers more strength with less material, keeping the bait secure without adding bulk or blocking scent dispersal. The mesh holds up in rough surf, strong current, and heavy hits from toothy predators.

🎯 PART 2: KEEPING SOFT BAITS ON THE HOOK

Typical Soft Baits:

Chicken Liver
Cheese Dough
Shrimp Paste
Mussels & Clams
Oysters
Homemade Catfish Doughs

From catfish and carp to sheepshead and freshwater drum, soft baits are pure gold for getting bites. But you almost never get a second chance with them.

❌ The Real-World Problems:

One cast and gone – Cast too hard, and your bait is flying 30 feet in a different direction.
Mushed off by water pressure – Especially in fast-moving rivers or beach surf.
Peeled by peckers – Small fish nibble and tear it apart long before the game fish arrive.
String wraps don't work – Threads, bands, and mesh sleeves often slide off or choke the bait presentation.
Messy rigs = poor presentation – Big, thick meshes or DIY wraps interfere with bait look and scent flow.

If you’re trying to use oysters for sheepshead, you know the nightmare: one cast in moving water and your bait is half gone. Get a bite? That’s it—it's stripped clean. Small fish will absolutely ruin your effort long before the sheepshead even shows up.

✅ The Mossy Head Solution: Soft Bait Wraps

Our Soft Bait Wraps are custom-designed for soft, fragile, or paste-like baits. Here’s why they outperform everything else:

Fine translucent mesh – Unlike bulky catfish bait holders, our wraps are soft, strong, and nearly invisible in the water.
No choking the bait – The mesh conforms to the bait without crushing or restricting scent dispersal.
Keeps the scent in, lets flavor out – Holds fragile bait in place while allowing it to ‘leak’ just enough to draw in fish.
Slim profile = better strikes – Fish aren’t spooked by bulk; they see a natural, unobstructed bait.
Perfect for surf, current, and deep rigs – Holds together under casting pressure and survives strong current conditions.

⚡ Bottom Line: Less Fuss. More Fish.

Fishing with soft or frozen bait doesn’t have to be an exercise in frustration. At Mossy Head Bait Company, we built these solutions because we lived the problem. Every lost cast. Every stolen bait. Every minute wasted re-rigging instead of fishing.

Our Anchovy Bait Bags and Soft Bait Wraps eliminate the guesswork, protect your bait, and give you back your time on the water—so you can focus on catching, not fixing.

Frozen Baits. What a Pain

How to Actually Keep Frozen Anchovies on the Hook (And Keep the Peckers Off)

Let’s be real — trying to fish with frozen anchovies, sardines, or cigar minnows is a huge pain in the ass.

Once those baits thaw, they turn to mush. You thread one on the hook, cast out, and — poof — your bait flies off mid-air like a flying fish on fire. If it does survive the cast? Get ready for a swarm of pinfish or other small "bait peckers" to tear it to shreds in seconds.

Now, if you go down the YouTube rabbit hole, you'll find a common “solution”:
Wrap your bait with string or magic thread — around and around and around — hoping to secure that soft bait to the hook.

Here’s the truth:
Most of that wrapping effort is just to keep the bait on for the cast. It does almost nothing to protect it from peckers or extend its life in the water.

So What’s the Better Way?

Enter the Mossy Head Bait Wraps and Bait Bags — our tools are made for one purpose:
Keeping soft baits like anchovies, sardines, shrimp, oysters, and other delicate stuff on your hook — even after repeated casts and peckers.

What Makes Our Wraps and Bait Bags Different?

Cast-proof design – No more losing bait mid-air. Our wraps lock the bait down securely, without a messy thread job.
Pecker-resistant mesh – The durable mesh barrier gives your bait real protection from bait stealers and keeps scent dispersing longer.
Easy to use – Slide your bait in, wrap it once, hook it through, and you're fishing.
Natural scent release – Bait still puts off scent and juices like normal — the fish find it, but the peckers can’t wreck it as fast.
Our Wraps and Bait Bags are made of translucent nylon mesh. Once the bait goes in the bag the mesh almost disappears and blend in with the natural look of the bait.

Don’t Let the Peckers Win
