Introducing Baitrix Artificial Baits w/Rhys Davis Bait Holders It has been a long time since I have been able to introduce a product like we did the cut bait over 17 seasons ago and actually be excited about it.  Well, I am really excited about the one I am about to introduce to the Great Lakes fishermen.   Rhys Davis produced their first bait holder 55 years ago.  It only seems fitting their company would find an alternative to real bait.  (Baits are manufactured by the Baitrix company).    When NY and Michigan decided to put regulations in force making it very difficult to continue selling West Coast herring I went looking for alternatives.  I was not able to find bait that had the quality of Rhys Davis Herring Strips.    I figured the business I had worked so hard to build was tumbling down and there was no way to revive it.   In March of 2007 I got an email from a fisherman looking for me to be one of his sponsors.  In that email he told me he was using Baitrix Baits and thought the Anchovy Special would work really well with this Bait.   I went to the Baitrix website and was amazed at the product I was looking at.  I contacted Tom Davis and inquired if he had ever heard of this company.  He hadn't, so he checked the website and then contacted the Baitrix Company.   Rhys Davis Ltd. teamed up with Baitrix and together they combined their products to have a RhysDavis/Baitrix bait rig, that not only looks good but also catches fish!!   Baitrix has been in business for 2 years.  They make some of the best artificial baits on the market.  The detail and craftsmanship in these baits make them look so real you want to put them in the freezer!!!   Rhys Davis Ltd. has tested their bait holders with the  Baitrix baits extensively to get the right combination to meet the standards you the fishermen deserves.    CLICK HERE  - to see the new product.
