Our Story

Corbinator Bait Company started off with a gift.  A few years ago an 8 year old Corbin Brennan received a lure making kit for Christmas. It was a simple kit - a process where you would mix epoxy and pour it into a mold to make a small crankbait.  Corbin and his dad Joe figured out how to make it work and created some lures. They hand painted these with lure paints to create distinctive patterns. 

​

Then one day, Corbin had an idea. Every year, the extended family had a reunion at a resort in Minnesota. Corbin thought it would be a good idea to make everyone in the family a home-made lure. To take it one step further, dad suggested: "What if we had a fishing tournament where the only lure people could use was one of your lures?"

​

Thus, the Corbinator Fishing Tournament was born. And each year for the last 5 years Corbin and his dad would create a new fishing lure for each family member to pick out. With the stipulation for the tournament still being that you could only use an official Corbinator Lure during the event.

​

Fast forward to now, and Corbin has the idea to take his idea and try and sell some of these lures. So here we are: the Corbinator Bait Company.

​

All of our lures are hand-made. Some look like regular baits you would find at many bait stores. Some are very unique and not always "perfect."  These lures are made in a garage in Kansas. We don't have an assembly line (unless you consider Corbin and his dad a two-man assembly line).  We don't have fancy machinery. 

​

But these lures do catch fish. And at the very least, you are supporting a 13 year old kid whose passion is fishing.
