About Winding Creek Bait and Tackle

Winding Creek Bait & Tackle is based in Madisonville, Kentucky. We opened in 2001 and for the last 21 years have been serving both local fisherman and national tournament anglers with all their bass, crappie, panfish and catfish lures and equipment.

Unlike many of the "Internet-Only" fishing vendors that only resell items and are not authorized dealers, Winding Creek Bait & Tackle also has a retail store and we are an authorized dealer for every brand we sell.

Winding Creek Bait & Tackle has been in business since 2001 and directly ships most orders the same day from our retail store and warehouse in Madisonville, KY.

We have been selling online since 2004. Our latest website and expanded online store launched in November of 2019. Please note that we don't post everything from our retail store or distributors on this website, so if you can't find something, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The prices for the products shown here on our online store are our lowest prices. However, if you find the same exact item from another authorized seller at a lower price, please let us know and we will do our best to beat their price. We want your business and will do everything possible to give you both the lowest pricing and great, personalized customer service.

Important! We stock more Netbait products than any other vendor. If you don't see a Netbait lure on our website, please give us a call at (270) 825-9997 and we will get it for you at the lowest price anywhere. We also stock a ton of discontinued NetBait items.

In addition to lures, rods, reels and fishing accessories, we also sell live bait at our Madisonville store. Depending on the season, we sell crickets, leaches, worms and minnows. Visit our Facebook page for the our current live bait offerings.


If you have any questions, have an issue with our website or your order or need advice choosing the right fishing gear, please contact us anytime via email at [email protected] or at (270)825-9997.
