WormFinder was born from a simple frustration: spending precious fishing time driving around looking for bait shops that might be closed, out of stock, or don't carry what you need. We believe every angler deserves to spend more time fishing and less time searching.
Our platform connects passionate anglers with local bait shops, tackle stores, and fishing supply retailers across the United States. Whether you're looking for live bait, specialized tackle, or just need to know what's open near the lake, WormFinder has you covered.
Find bait shops and tackle stores near any location. Our GPS-powered search shows you exactly what's available in your area, with real-time distance calculations.
Filter by live bait availability, store hours, services offered, and more. Find exactly what you need before you make the trip.
Built by anglers, for anglers. Our database is constantly updated with community feedback and verified business information.
Lightning-fast search results with reliable, up-to-date information. No more calling around or driving to closed shops.
WormFinder started as a weekend project by a group of frustrated anglers who were tired of the "bait shop roulette" - driving from store to store hoping to find what they needed. After one too many trips to closed shops and empty bait tanks, we decided to build the solution we wished existed.
What began as a simple directory has evolved into a comprehensive platform that serves thousands of anglers across the United States. We've partnered with local bait shops and tackle stores to provide the most accurate, up-to-date information possible.
Today, WormFinder helps anglers save time, discover new local businesses, and spend more time doing what they love - fishing. We're proud to support local bait shops and tackle stores while making the fishing experience better for everyone.
Yes! WormFinder is completely free for anglers. We believe everyone should have access to reliable information about local bait shops and fishing supplies.
We use a combination of automated systems, community feedback, and direct partnerships with bait shops to ensure our information is as current as possible. Users can also report changes or updates.
We're always looking to add more local businesses to our platform. Contact us with your shop information and we'll get you listed.
We're continuously expanding our coverage. Currently, we have comprehensive data for California and are rapidly adding other states. Check back regularly as we add new locations.
Our location data is sourced from verified business listings and GPS coordinates. We regularly audit and update locations to ensure accuracy for navigation and distance calculations.
We love hearing from our community! Feel free to reach out with feature suggestions, feedback, or ideas for improving the platform. Many of our best features came from user suggestions.
