Family-owned bait and tackle shop serving anglers along the Yellowstone River and throughout central Montana since day one. Live bait, quality tackle, and honest advice — no fancy stuff, just the real thing.
Hageman's Bait Boys sits right here in Jordan, Montana, just off Leavitt Avenue. We're not a big-box store and we never will be. We're the place locals come to when they need fresh worms, the right hook for the species they're after, or someone who actually fishes these waters to tell them what's working.
Whether you're casting a fly rod on the Yellowstone, trolling for trout up the road, or just trying to fill a cooler for the family dinner, we'll point you in the right direction. No upselling, no nonsense — just good gear and a straight answer.
Worms, minnows, and crickets stocked daily so you're never stuck with yesterday's bait.
Extended hours through the busy seasons — check with us if you're coming in early or late.
Ask us what's biting, where to go, and what rig to use. We actually fish these waters.
From the basics to the specialty items, we keep our shelves stocked with what works for Montana waters.
Red worms, nightcrawlers, minnows, crickets, and cut bait — refreshed daily. We know the difference and we keep it right.
Spinning, baitcasting, fly — we've got rods and reels for every style and budget. Hooks, leaders, swivels, sinkers, the whole lot.
Flies, leaders, tippets, vests, and wader repair — tailored for the Yellowstone and nearby tailwaters. We fly fish here too.
Fishing licenses, sunblock, coolers, ice, and the little things you forget until you're already at the boat ramp.
We're easy to find, easy to park at, and always happy to see a familiar face.
