North America’s Best Live Bait Logistics
Live minnows require specialized transport to maintain quality and survival, using our own oxygenated tanker trucks directly to bait shops and distributors. Because of this, live minnows are not shipped via UPS, FedEx, or standard parcel services. Learn more in our Frequently Asked Questions.
If it swims, we deliver it ourselves.
If it’s packaged (leeches, worms), we can ship it.

How Do We Deliver Live Bait?
Due to the sensitivity and potential high mortality of live bait, Gollon Brothers premium live bait is only available in certain areas.
We offer three delivery options:
-
Nationwide by Truckload
For regional distributors who supply bait shops, we offer bait delivery by the truckload to regions anywhere east of the Rockies.
-
Regular Delivery Route
Businesses in central or northern Wisconsin may already be on one of our delivery routes. Our specialized trucks make stops throughout most of Wisconsin at least weekly in the off-season, and up to several times a week during peak seasons. Call us to schedule a stop for your business.
-
FedEx, UPS, Spee-Dee Delivery
If your business is in southern Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, or selected parts of Illinois, we use Spee-Dee Delivery to ship you any amount of our less-sensitive bait products – nightcrawlers, worms and larvae – quickly and reliably. Note: We do not ship minnows.
Logistics Transparency
We operate a delivery-based distribution system for live minnows, not a mail-order model. This is intentional — it’s the only way to ensure consistent, high-quality live bait at scale.
