About Us
Our History
Forty Woods Bait N’ Tackle has been THE local bait shop in Blue Springs Missouri since 1975, serving customers from all over Missouri, Kansas & beyond. With its distinctively painted huge name on the front of the building, there’s really no mistaking its purpose! Forty Woods was, is and will continue to be the best bait shop in the surrounding area.
We have every live bait imaginable?
Minnows, Goldfish, Canadian Nightcrawlers, Red Wigglers, Crickets, Ruby Red’s, Meal Worms, Super Meal Worms & Wax Worms SOLD YEAR ROUND. Our selection of tackle is growing by the day, in March of 2022 a plan was drawn out to increase product 10X and that plan is coming to reality. If you do not see what fits your fancy, let us know and we will get it!
Product Service
In 2022 after 45+ years in the “bait biz”, Mark Hill & Todd Rentfro retired to do some fishing of their own! Not one day was missed during the transition and the new owner is excited to carry on the legacy and serve another generation of visitors. Stop in, talk with our friendly staff and find everything you need to hit the water, either by watercraft or shore-bound, we look forward to seeing you!
