Mega-Bait to close!



Pace Products Inc., the manufacturer of Megabait Lures has notified us that due to the costs of fighting litigation over a long period of time, they must now close.

The web site is down on June 29th. I wounder if someone else will pick up this product line of stuff.


This SUCKS! IMO they are one of the best production lure and jig companies out there.

I don't know but that would be my guess too. The main supplier for this stuff does not have much inventory left. If you like a particular megabait product and you see it on the shelf...buy it. You may never see it again. I am hoping someone else pics up the product line, I use several of their products, namely JB150 plugs, jigs, bucktails, and couple tuna items I could live without because there is so much to choose from in this area but the others will be painful. They make a sweet bucktail and a great jig.

I just started using their metal (thanks Mr Sandman) and they are nice strong metal lures. I will be stocking up hopefully the price will drop so I can buy more.
