About Us
Florida Bait Pens was founded by a South Florida charter captain who spent years fishing the inlets, flats, and offshore waters from Palm Beach to Key West. Tired of losing live bait to poor design, rust, and strong currents, he started building pens that actually solved those problems.
Today, we hand-make every pen to hold up in the conditions we know best — the saltwater, sun, and current of Florida fishing.
Whether you're fishing every day, or just fishing when you can, we build the pen to fit your needs.
Do I Really Need a Bait Pen?
If you’re trying to store your bait for any length of time, the answer is yes. A quality bait pen doesn’t just keep your bait alive—it keeps it healthy, active, and effective.
