FROM THE BENCH AT LAZY BAITS CO.

Made by someone who makes baits

It started
at the workbench.

BAITBUILD comes from the same place your next idea does: a love for making something of your own.

Created by Anthony Entler of Lazy Baits Co., it’s a place to bring the process together and help the baitmaking community grow together.

Whether you’re pouring your first soft bait or refining a hard bait you’ve worked on for months, there’s a place for you here.

Need a hand? We’re here to help ↗

Is BAITBUILD really free?

Yes. BAITBUILD is free for makers to use. Any purchases you choose to make through the Shop or external supplier links are separate.

Is it for hard baits or soft baits?

Both. BAITBUILD includes separate hard and soft bait workflows, so you can organize the details that matter to the kind of bait you make.

What is the Kitchen?

The Kitchen is BAITBUILD’s shared recipe space for hard and soft bait makers. Discover recipes, read their ingredients and instructions, save a recipe to your Workshop, or choose to share one of your own. Some recipes also include a YouTube video and supplier Buy links. Take a look inside the Kitchen.

Are my recipes automatically shared?

No. Your private Workshop is separate from the Builder Network. You choose what you publish. Private Workshop recipe data uses client-side encryption; photos and other data use separate protections. Read our privacy policy for the full details.

Can I use it on my computer?

Yes. Open BAITBUILD to access your Workshop in your browser for free. The browser app is a web beta while remaining device checks are completed. Existing users should update the native app before enabling cross-device editing.
