🎣 Three Cast Baits

Handcrafted Soft Plastics — Kingston, Ontario

Born on the Rock. Built for the Water.


Our Story

Three Cast Baits is a handcrafted soft plastic bait company founded by three brothers from St. John's, Newfoundland, now based in Kingston, Ontario. Every bait is designed, poured, and inspected by hand in Darryl's garage — no factory lines, no automation.

We grew up jigging cod off the wharf and casting for trout around Signal Hill. When life brought us to Kingston, we found world-class freshwater fishing but couldn't find soft baits that met our standards. So we cleared out Darryl's garage and started pouring our own.

If it doesn't fish, it doesn't ship.
