Made To Fish.
Built Around The Water.
Table Rock Custom Baits is a hands-on soft-plastic bait maker creating practical profiles, colors, and actions for crappie, panfish, trout, and BFS anglers.
A Bait Maker, Not Just A Bait Shop.
Table Rock Custom Baits is built around making soft plastics with a clear purpose. A bait should do more than look good in a package. Its size, shape, tail, color, fall, and movement should help an angler solve a fishing problem.
That might mean a compact baitfish profile for suspended crappie, a subtle trout bait that works naturally in current, or a small but capable BFS bait that can be placed accurately around rock, docks, brush, and pressured fish.
The goal is not to make every bait imaginable. It is to make useful baits with identifiable jobs—and give anglers enough variety in profile, action, and color to adjust when conditions change.
Built By Brian.
Made One Order At A Time.
Brian is the bait maker behind Table Rock Custom Baits. The work is hands-on—from evaluating a profile and adjusting a color to pouring, inspecting, packaging, and answering questions from anglers.
That direct connection matters. The person making the bait understands why the profile exists, how the tail behaves, where the bait fits, and what can be changed when an angler needs something a little different.
“Start with what the fish are doing. Then adjust the profile, action, color, and weight until the bait fits the situation.”
Rooted In Table Rock And Taneycomo.
The Table Rock name is not decorative. The baits are created and tested around Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo—two nearby fisheries that present very different water, forage, current, depth, and presentation challenges.
Working around those differences encourages a practical approach. A bait that works only under one narrow set of conditions is less useful than a profile that can be adjusted through color, rigging, weight, retrieve, and presentation.
Created and tested on Table Rock Lake and Lake Taneycomo.
Proven in clear, stained, muddy, and brackish water.
Every Detail Has A Job.
A minnow, grub, bug, split tail, paddle tail, or compact creature should resemble the type of forage and movement fish are responding to—not simply be smaller for the sake of being small.
Some situations call for a hard-kicking tail. Others need a bait that glides, hangs, shakes, swims quietly, or moves naturally with very little input.
Color can imitate forage, create contrast, add a target point, increase visibility, or reduce flash. The right choice depends on water, light, depth, and how closely fish are studying the bait.
A bait is only part of the presentation. Head weight, hook size, retrieve speed, depth, pause length, and rigging style can change how the same profile fishes.
Three Categories. Plenty Of Ways To Fish.
Compact baitfish, grub, and action-tail profiles for casting, vertical fishing, docks, brush, suspended fish, and light jig heads.
Profiles and colors made for current, drift, swimming, hovering, and natural presentations in lakes, rivers, tailwaters, and streams.
Bass Finesse System baits that combine compact size with real swimming, falling, gliding, shaking, and target-casting capability.
Your Order Starts After You Place It.
Your profiles, colors, quantities, and options are reviewed.
The order is produced by hand rather than pulled from mass-produced inventory.
Finished baits are inspected, counted, packaged, and prepared for shipment.
Orders ship from Missouri as soon as they are ready, usually within 7–10 business days.
The Name Has History.
Some anglers still know the brand through the earlier Table Rock Baits name and logo. That history remains part of Table Rock Custom Baits and is still represented by anglers and prostaff who have carried the name on boats, clothing, and the water.
Same hands-on approach.
A clearer custom-bait identity.
