Call to orderRay's Bait Works started in 2010 in Granite Falls, a small town at the foot of the Cascades in Snohomish County. What began as a local bait operation grew into a regional wholesale supplier.
We still run it tight — a small family crew that processes and packs everything by hand. Fresh or cured, the bait is graded, color-coded, and vacuum-sealed here before it ships out.
The owner fishes alongside the guides and customers who use the bait, which is the only testing program that matters. We are packing some beautiful Green and Blue herring right now.
