Live Catalpa Worms

The Catalpa Worm is in rare supply these days. People call The Bait Barn on a daily basis looking for Live Catalpa worms. These are the facts, during the last few years the catalpa worm has been reduced in population due to mosquito control measures, pesticides and hurricane Katrina who blew ours off the trees when she hit Louisiana and has yet to recover. The pesticides used to control mosquito's kills the catalpa worms when they are on the trees and when they are in the larvae state under the trees. This is not the only problem we have encountered, when crop runoff from farmland flows near the trees the population is also reduced. Another fact is the over harvesting of the worms, people have been striping trees clean and selling them to local bait shops. So if your looking for Live Catalpa worms this year...... Good Luck!

Precision Cricket Measuring

Here at The Bait Barn we have taken the time to precisely measure the amount of crickets distributed from our tube. Taking into consideration that the average cricket is 3/4 of inch in length and 1/4" of an inch in width, using mathematical calculations we have determined exactly where the lines in the 1" diameter tube should be. The first line is drawn at 2 and 1/4" of the tube indicating there are 25 crickets in the tube, the second line is 4 and 1/2" inches indicating there are 50 crickets in the tube. The tube measures 9" long so when someone purchases a Full tube of crickets they actually get about 110 crickets. Now you maybe asking yourself what does all this mean for you the consumer, nothing really their just crickets! So come on into the Bait Barn and grab some crickets for fishing, your exotic pets or just to get the wild turkeys flowing through your property during hunting season. 25 for $1.00, 50 for $1.90 or full tube about 110 for $3.85 Checkout or Local Live Bait Page for shopping in Indianapolis.

We got robbed!

Yesterday on June 22 2007. My father was watching the shop and things were going pretty slow. Then all of a sudden two hood robbers strategically positioned themselves in the store. Then over powered my father before he could react. They struck my father to the ground and held automatic weapons on him while robbing us and destroying our security equipment before their escape. Thank god my father wasn't injured. This is the third time in The Bait Barn history we have been robbed. This website is our hope to be able to generate enough income to move to a safer location in Indiana. We aren't here to rob anyone online just make a living.
