Exceptionally hardy and versatile, White Suckers are effective across a wide range of species — from trout and walleye to pike and musky — and are equally suited for live bait, spearing decoys, or cut bait applications.

Genus/Species: Catostomus commersoni

Other Names: Sucker

You may hear White Suckers referred to as “chubs” in certain regions. While common, it’s incorrect — and worth correcting. Unlike regional habits like “coke” vs. “pop,” this isn’t just slang — chubs are an entirely different species. In a regulated industry, names matter. We use the correct one: White Sucker, or simply “suckers” for short.

Note: Mislabeling fish species is not permitted in regulated markets. Species must be accurately represented in sale and distribution.
