About HOBAD Bait Co.

HOBAD Bait Co. started with a simple idea: fishing lures should be as fearless as the people who throw them.

Every time we hit the water, we kept hearing the same question: “What’s HOBAD?” The answer’s easy — Honey Badger. Known as one of the most fearless creatures on earth, the honey badger doesn’t back down from anything. That same attitude fuels everything we make.

From bold color blends to durable hand-poured designs, our baits are built to stand out, take punishment, and help you haul in the kind of fish worth bragging about.

We believe fishing should be bold, exciting, and built on grit. That’s why every HOBAD bait is:

  • Hand-crafted in small batches — no mass-produced junk

  • Tested on real waters — not just in a mold

  • Designed to stand out — unique colors you won’t find anywhere else

There are plenty of bait companies out there — but none with the honey badger mindset. We experiment fearlessly, push color combos beyond the ordinary, and build baits tough enough to survive cast after cast.

We’re more than lures — we’re a movement for anglers who fish without fear. Whether you’re on the water at sunrise or grinding until sunset, HOBAD is here for those who don’t back down.
