In an amazing journey that no one could have predicted, we’ve come a long way since Dad Pautzke began cooking salmon eggs on his small kitchen stove in the early 1930s. From that humble beginning, our world-famous Balls O’ Fire salmon eggs and Crappie Fire Balls have served countless trout and crappie anglers across the globe and defined an era of fishing for hundreds of thousands. 

To ensure our quality keeps pace with expansion we’ve added the world’s finest pro staff and keep Dad Pautzke busy crafting more innovative products while keeping our loyal fans armed with the best crappie, trout, salmon, and steelhead baits on the market. We’ve also teamed up with the US & Canada’s most professional promoters, guides, and educators to construct a nationally recognized pro staff and launched Pautzke Outdoors to help showcase how easy it is to catch fish when using our products.

Our vision for the future is built upon our past as we strive to continue to bring innovative, industry-leading products to fruition and remain eager to continue serving you – our extended Team Pautzke family. Thanks for your support over the years. We look forward to many more decades of sustained success together.
