From the whites to the bluegill beds, we stock everything you need to make your next trip count. Expert gear. Honest advice. Right here on Sparrow Ave.
Baits WildThing started with a simple idea: every angler in Indianapolis deserves a shop that actually understands local waters. We're not a big-box warehouse. We're your neighbors — and we know which bait works on the White River in October and what to throw on Geist Reservoir when the pressure's high.
Whether you're casting your first line or you've got a cooler full of trophies, we'll help you leave the store with exactly what you need — and nothing you don't.
Indianapolis-born and operated
Staffed by people who fish
Every product hand-picked
Honest prices, no markup games
From weekend warriors to tournament anglers, our shelves are stocked with gear that works on Indiana's lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
Spinning, baitcasting, fly — we carry the brands that hold up on Central Indiana's toughest waters.
Soft plastics, crankbaits, jigs, and live bait — matched to what's biting right now in your area.
Braided, monofilament, fluorocarbon — and the small stuff that matters: hooks, sinkers, swivels, leaders.
Vests, gloves, sunglasses, coolers — the gear that keeps you comfortable from dawn patrol to sunset.
Fish finders, depth sounders, and GPS units — from entry-level to tournament-grade.
Anchors, paddles, life vests, and everything that keeps you safe and on the water longer.
It's easy to sell gear. It's harder to tell you what you actually need. At Baits WildThing, we'd rather send you home with three perfect choices than ten mediocre ones. That's the Indianapolis way.
We know when the crappie bite hits White River, what's working on Eagle Creek, and which spots are holding fish right now.
Walk in or call us — you'll talk to someone who actually fishes, not a script. We'll help you build a setup that fits your style and budget.
Competitive pricing on everything. We'd rather earn your repeat business than overcharge once.
