Essex-born Simon Taylor is a life-long carp angler. Learning the importance of good quality bait and leads from his dad, he quickly developed a skill for lead making and bait blending, and has caught many a majestic beast with his own baits.

Seeing his success, Simon’s fishing friends were soon buying their bait and leads from him. As word caught on this developed onto an online marketplace. Fed up with office work and keen to strike out alone, he decided to take a risk and committed himself, and his young family, to starting T&T Baits.

With the help of family and loyal customers we’ve become more than specialist carp bait makers. We now offer a complete range of handmade and finished lead weights and other essentials that come with the traditional sport of fishing.
