The legendary Gapen Bait-Walker is the original snag-resistant bottom weight that lets you troll your bait right down on the bottom with confidence. Designed by fishing icon Dan Gapen, this innovative anti-snag sinker keeps your line and lure moving freely while maintaining excellent bottom contact.

Ideal for walleye, lake trout, salmon, catfish, and other bottom-oriented species, the Bait-Walker excels in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Its unique design helps it walk over rocks, weeds, and structure instead of digging in and snagging.

I've been using baitwalkers for over 40 years. I like the smaller sizes for trout in streams w/powerbait,larger sizes for bait fishing instead of 3-way rigs.I just wish they were locally avaible.

Great items and even greater service!

Bought Baitwalkers for my son when he was young, 20 years later he still had one left. I replenished his supply and Gapen went over and above to get them to me on time.

Very good product received extremely fast. Only minus is the product could be improved by the addition of a snap swivel rather than the standard swivel.

I used the bait walker for the first time this trip. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprized at its performance keeping the bait in the strike zone, lack o f weed hang ups and great feel of the bottom. Very good product strongly recommended.

Great for drift fishing

I’ve used Bait-Walkers for years. They are the terminal tackle of choice for walleye on our lake.
Ordering on line is a little more difficult when choosing a size compared to in store where you can compare the different sizes.
Great product.

Gapen Bait Walker

I had a stock of these in the early 90s and knocked the walleye for a loop while drifting with them. I couldn't find them again until now, and I'm glad I did. So much better than the wire bouncers from other manufacturers. They keep your bait down in "the zone". I won't let myself run out again!

Good to be back

Went back to slow trolling after many years of jigging or casting, and was happy to see the Bait Walkers were still available. Seems like they work even better now with new crankbaits.

Got the product in really good time, at least two to three days quicker than expected. Have used these products in the past and have always been quite fond of them. These are performing and meeting my expectations and I will be ordering some other sizes. Would love to see them in more stores in my area. Very great product for the way I fish.

Fantastic Customer Service

I purchased a few trolling sinkers from Gapen. It was a small order, but it and I were treated as though it was a million dollar purchase!! The notifications of order receipt, shipment, and follow-up are absolutely incredible! I will purchase more items as needed from Gapen!

They did a great job correcting the shipment. This is my second order, they are exactly what I was looking for to troll mirror lures on the bottom for speckle trout without hanging up.

Last bait walker

30 years ago l purchased my last group of bait walkers. Over the next 20 years I gave some to buddies, caught many fish using them as bottom bouncers and eventually left all but one or two on the bottom of many lakes. After looking in old hardware stores, mail order and national sporting stores I finally found gapen.com and now I am back to fishing with my tried and true system. Thanks

Started using these for walleye fishing 15 to 20 years ago. They really help keep your bait just off the bottom. Go through the weeds real well. Probably caught 10 master angler awards in Canada on them.

Walker Weights

I could not find 3/8 oz weights in stores so I ordered them direct from Gapen. Service was excellent and they were mailed immediately, Shipping and handling was reasonable. They were exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Gapen to anyone who needs products they supply.

Bait Walker order

Gapen Company was expedient at filling my order. However, some of the materials included in my order were not up to comparable standards with the rest of the order. I contacted the Company and they replaced the substandard materials within a week at no charge.
Overall it was a good buying experience and I will continue to support the Co.
