    Use to see big bags of baits, but not anymore. I guess they would rather sell packs of 8-15 depending on bait to increase profits. Good luck, maybe someone can let us all know where bulk bags can be purchased.

    The more the better.

    I remember back in the 70’s buying shrink wrapped cards of 3 or 5 or 6 Mann’s Jelly worms. Then tackle shops started carrying 50ct or 100ct bags of worms at a discount, it was cheaper and easier to buy big bags. I remember some shops having big bins of loose worms and selling bulk by the pound.

    Now things have changed back, companies want to put 6-8 soft plastics in a bag.

    I picked up a couple of 100 ct bags of Zoom lizards off EBay a few years ago, but it’s tough to find Zoom in bulk...last I heard they didn’t do it often.

    Call Bitters Baits down in Longwood Florida. You can order online and get extra product at a discount, but if you want true bulk of something (100ct, 500ct, 1000ct, etc), call them on the phone. They literally have big boxes stuffed with loose soft plastics, they make a great product and should be able to provide whatever you want.

    We used to get Zoom in bulk from a local tackle shop. I've still got a few bags of worms and lizards that are at least 20 years old and still as fresh as the day they were bought.

    I still have some of the original Mann's jelly worms in the big 100 count bags that my dad bought back before I was born when him and his buddies would take a fishing trip up to Eufaula fishing. Plan to hang on to them for a long time.

    I used to fish with partner that bought everything in bulk. I remember giving him my order on Gene Larews( sp) I bought over 5000 pieces. I had one color of Salt Craws that, for some reason worked better than any bait on this one lake. Last year I called Gene Larews because that color wasn't listed. The guy on the phone said they hadn't made that color in 20 years------ I still have 5-6 of them
    when I go to Boji, I buy PowerBait worms buy the 100 ct.

    I contacted a distributor about a color zoom no longer makes and they told me they would make them for me if I ordered 1200 bags. Me and a buddy ended up buying 2000 bags of that particular color in different baits, took about a month for them to be delivered.

    We use to tell the tackle shop what we wanted and they would get it for us at a cheaper price. The tackle shop was a big zoom dealer so it wasn't a problem.

    I would bet that only the pro staff guys get those bulk bags.
