Paul Bunyan Bait Company
Small Box. Big Fish. Legendary Results.
Born in Minnesota and built on tradition, Paul Bunyan Bait Company has been developing reliable, fish catching tackle for decades. We’re a small, family-run, female veteran-owned fishing tackle company focused on one simple goal: making it easy to catch fish—anywhere, anytime.
At the heart of our brand is the Paul Bunyan Blaster™, a truly versatile lure invented by lifelong anglers Richard H. Fudali and son Michael R. Fudali. Their passion for fishing and relentless tinkering in garages and tackle boxes led to the creation of this multi-use design that quickly became a favorite among fishermen across species and waters.
We specialize in pocket-sized, ready-to-fish tackle kits and versatile lures designed to cover more water with less gear. Every kit is thoughtfully designed and hand-packed in Minnesota by experienced anglers, making them perfect for beginners, seasoned fishermen, road trips, dock fishing, shore fishing, and emergency tackle needs.
The Paul Bunyan Blaster™ was born from years of on-the-water fishing experience and innovation. Designed to adapt on the fly, it can be used as a casting bait with rubber tails or spinners, a drop-shot weight, weedless jig, or heavy cover solution. Anglers rely on it for bucktails, spinnerbaits, long-line rigs, and more.
Whether you’re chasing panfish, bass, walleye, pike, or trout, our tackle is designed to perform across multiple species, regions, and skill levels—without overcomplicating your setup.

About Us
Paul Bunyan Blaster™
The Paul Bunyan Blaster™ features a revolutionary through-hook-to-swivel design that delivers unmatched versatility and casting performance. Its flat-sided profile on one side and curved, teardrop belly on the other creates a balanced, weed-deflecting presentation that moves naturally through cover.
The wider, heavier rear-weighted body increases casting distance and improves control in wind or current. Finished in a heavy-duty black powder coat, the Blaster is built to withstand hard use in all conditions.
A rear through-hook pigtail allows anglers to easily add spinners, rattles, scent sacks, skirts, rubber tails, or trailer hooks. The fixed wire weed guard doubles as a bait keeper, letting you slide on your plastic of choice and fully cover the hook point for a truly weedless presentation.
