About Us

About us
Built on family. Finished in the shop.

Our story starts long before we took our first breaths in the ’70s. Fishing traditions, family time, and a stubborn habit of tinkering with baits until they fish the way we want.

Family values
Small-batch builds
Made to be fished
Tradition
A way of life passed down — now handed to our kids and grandkids.
Honesty
Built the right way, described the right way, shipped the right way.
Tinkering
If it can be better, we’ll try it. If it fails, we learn and run it again.
The handoff
Family traditions that stuck.

Our parents guided us through hardships (as did their parents) and shaped who we are today. Those lessons show up everywhere — how we treat people, how we work, and how we fish.

For us, the good stuff has always been simple: a fresh fish fry with friends, a sunset on a watery horizon, a bonfire on the beach, and setting our hooks into dreams one at a time.

A family that fishes together, stays together.
The tinkering years
These were our Legos growing up.

Growing up in a fishing family, we were always taking the mass-produced baits of the time and transforming them into what we believed they should have been from the start.

We cross-bred popular shapes and styles to build fish-catching machines. Sure — plenty failed. But the successes surprised us more than we ever expected. That’s where the bait-making journey began.

The early baits were for us and a few friends… until the inspiration to share the passion finally blossomed.

From tinkering to today
Better tools. Same purpose.

Over time we acquired the tools and equipment to refine our own bait profiles and processes. What started as experimentation slowly turned into something repeatable — and eventually into the baits we build today.

The passion expanded tenfold. Every run taught us something new about action, feel, and durability. Today, we focus on small-batch soft plastics and a variety of other hand-made lures, built the way we like to fish them — and built to be fished hard.

What you can expect

Got a Jiggin' Johnson's story?

Send us a photo of your catch and we’ll feature it. This tackle box is better when it’s shared.

Memories that make us smile

Just a handful of snapshots that feel like home — the kind of stuff that makes you grin even before the first cast.
