Our rod and reel prices are competitive with, and often priced lower than the discounters and catalogs. Also, as of October of 2014, we are also offering basic gun repair and special order firearms for all of your firearms needs whether it be hunting, home and self-defense, or sport shooting. Whether you seek hunting and fishing information, want to hire a guide to fish the Chippewa Flowage or surrounding Hayward Lakes, or if you simply want to chat about the Hayward area, we're here 7 days a week to help make your stay a pleasant one. Give us a call at (715)-462-3055 for more information, or stop by and see for yourself.

Three years ago today we lost this great man. Thank you Randy for everything you taught me about the bait business. You were a great mentor and an even greater friend. Thank you for everything you did for me, Jenks Bait, and for the Hayward community and our guests. Until we meet again to trap some minnows up in Heaven's creeks....rest easy Randy. God Bless.

Mr. Jenks made a pre-dawn delivery of Musky Suckers to Deerfoot Lodge & Resort this morning for the Deerfoot Ladies Musky School.

Good luck to all our Lady Anglers that we have up here this weekend, and stay tuned for a special drawing we will be doing on Facebook to thank the participants for supporting our local community up here in Hayward. Jenk's Bait and Tackle is proud to sponsor these awesome local events.
