Discover the ultimate fishing experience with TWS Bait and Tackle’s vast selection of lures, tackle, and accessories for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
Freshwater Lures
Freshwater fishing is an art that requires a deep understanding of the water, the fish, and the lures that can deceive even the wariest of fish. At TWS Bait and Tackle, we understand the importance of having the right freshwater lures to increase your chances of reeling in a big catch.
Soft Plastic Worms
Soft plastic worms are a staple in any freshwater angler’s tackle box. These versatile lures can be rigged in various ways to mimic the natural movement of baitfish, insects, or even worms. The subtle action of the worm’s tail is often too enticing for fish to resist, making it an excellent choice for catching species like bass, trout, and panfish. Did you know that soft plastic worms can be used for both topwater and bottom fishing? By adjusting the weight and presentation, you can target fish at different depths and structures.
Crankbaits for Bass
Crankbaits are a popular choice for bass fishing, and for good reason. These lipless lures dive quickly to the desired depth, allowing you to cover a lot of water and target bass at different levels. The key to success with crankbaits lies in selecting the right color, size, and action to match the prevailing conditions. For example, a slower, deeper-diving crankbait might be ideal for cold winter days, whereas a faster, more buoyant crankbait could be better suited for warmer waters. By experimenting with different crankbaits and presentations, you can unlock the secrets to catching monster bass.
Spinners for Panfish
Panfish, such as bluegill and crappie, can be a blast to catch, but they can be finicky when it comes to lures. That’s where spinners come in. These create a commotion on the water’s surface, imitating the struggles of a wounded baitfish or insect. The spinning blade’s flash and vibration can be irresistible to panfish, making them an excellent choice for catching a bucketload of these tasty fish. When using spinners for panfish, remember to fish slowly and deliberately, as these fish often require a more subtle presentation.
Saltwater Fishing Gear
Saltwater fishing is a unique beast, requiring specialized gear that can withstand the harsh marine environment. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, having the right saltwater fishing gear can make all the difference between a successful catch and a disappointing trip.
Jigs for Tarpon
Tarpon, those silver giants of the sea, present a unique challenge for anglers. Their strong fighting spirit and impressive size require a specialized approach, and that’s where jigs come in. A well-designed jig can mimic the appearance and movement of a baitfish, making it irresistible to these majestic creatures. When it comes to tarpon jigs, it’s essential to choose ones with a durable construction, a lifelike presentation, and a hook that can withstand the tarpon’s powerful jaws.
Live Bait Rigs
Live bait rigs are another essential component of saltwater , particularly when targeting species like snook, redfish, and speckled trout. These rigs allow anglers to present live or cut bait in a natural, enticing way, increasing the chances of a successful catch. From the type of hook to the length of the leader, every detail matters when it comes to live bait rigs. Experimenting with different configurations and presenting them in the right spot can make all the difference in the world.
Deep Sea Fishing Lures
Deep sea fishing lures are a world unto themselves, designed to tackle the monsters of the deep. These lures often feature large, colorful bodies and enticing actions that mimic the movement of injured baitfish or other prey. Whether you’re after marlin, sailfish, or mahi-mahi, a well-chosen deep sea fishing lure can be the key to a record-breaking catch. With so many options available, it’s crucial to understand the specific habits and preferences of your target species, as well as the unique characteristics of the water you’re fishing in.

With a Perch Pedaler, you can cover a lot of water quickly and efficiently, working the lure in a slow, steady retrieve that’s sure to attract hungry panfish.

Try them in combination with a slow, steady retrieve and a tantalizing pause to really get those stripers fired up!
Terminal Tackle
Termites of the fishing world, aren’t we all guilty of overlooking the humble heroes of our tackle box? Terminal tackle, the unsung heroes that connect us to our prized catch, deserves a spotlight of its own. The difference between a successful catch and a frustrating misfire often lies in the subtle nuances of hooks, swivels, snaps, leaders, and monofilament. So, let’s dive into the world of terminal and uncover the secrets to boosting our fishing game.
Hooks for Freshwater Fishing
Hooks are the gatekeepers of the fishing world, the first and last line of defense in our pursuit of the perfect catch. When it comes to freshwater fishing, the right hook can be the difference between landing a lunker and leaving empty-handed. But what makes a hook truly great? For starters, the material is crucial. High-carbon steel hooks offer unparalleled strength and durability, while nickel-plated hooks provide a stylish and corrosion-resistant alternative. Hook size, shape, and gap (the distance between the hook’s point and shank) also play a significant role in determining the type of fish you’ll catch. Bass anglers, for example, often opt for thicker, heavier hooks to tackle the feisty fighters, while panfish enthusiasts prefer thinner, lighter hooks to minimize damage to the delicate fish.
Swivels and Snaps
Imagine being on the cusp of reeling in a monster catch, only to have your line twist and kink like a tangled mess of spaghetti. Not exactly the most exciting scenario, right? Swivels and snaps are the unsung heroes that prevent this nightmare from unfolding. These clever contraptions allow for smooth, twist-free line movement, ensuring a buttery-smooth retrieve and reduced line fatigue. But that’s not all – swivels and snaps also enable more precise lure presentation, giving you greater control over your bait or lure. When choosing the perfect swivel or snap, consider the type of fishing you’ll be doing, the weight of your line, and the size of your hooks. A well-chosen swivel or snap can make all the difference between a successful catch and a frustrating tangle.
Leaders and Monofilament
The saying “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” has never been more apt than when it comes to leaders and monofilament. While often overlooked, these two components form the backbone of our fishing setup, connecting our lures to our lines with precision and finesse. Leaders, typically made of monofilament or fluorocarbon, serve as the buffer between our main line and the hook, absorbing the shock of a biting fish and preventing break-offs. Monofilament, on the other hand, offers a cost-effective, durable, and reliable option for leaders and lines. But what’s the best way to select the perfect monofilament for your needs? Look for lines with high abrasion resistance, superb knot strength, and a suitable level of stretch to suit your fishing style.
Bait and Chum
Bait and chum are essential components of fishing, and using the right ones can make all the difference between a successful catch and a disappointing day on the water. At TWS Bait and Tackle, we understand the importance of high-quality bait and chum, and we’re dedicated to providing our customers with the best products for their fishing needs.
Live Bait Containers
Live bait is a popular choice among fishermen, but it requires careful handling and storage to ensure it remains fresh and lively. That’s why we offer a range of live bait containers designed to keep your bait healthy and active. Our containers feature advanced ventilation systems, secure lids, and durable construction to withstand the rigors of fishing trips.

Frozen Bait Storage
Frozen bait is another popular option for fishermen, but it requires proper storage to maintain its effectiveness. At TWS Bait and Tackle, we recommend storing frozen bait in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn and maintain the bait’s natural scent and flavor. Our frozen bait storage solutions are designed to keep your bait fresh for an extended period, ensuring you always have a reliable supply on hand.
We understand that frozen bait can be brittle and prone to damage, which is why our storage solutions feature padded compartments and dividers to prevent damage during transportation and storage.

At TWS Bait and Tackle, we offer a range of chumming solutions specifically designed for shark fishing. Our chumming products feature a unique blend of fish oils, fish parts, and other attractants to create a potent scent trail that will draw in even the most elusive sharks.
