Hold on, you're in for a ride! There is a little known world to most, unless you live, eat, sleep, and breath fishing. It's where it all really begins. Welcome to the guys and gals who belong to an elite society called Garage Underground. All of the manufactures, distrubutors, retailers or publications had to start somewhere. These individuals just didn't show up and make it big. They had an idea, a dream that they developed. And if you ask them they will surely share their story.
Like most companies; the originator of the Garage Underground, Naked Bait Co. was no exception. The Muhlenbruck family started Naked Bait Co. in the garage of their home; born not out of luck but out of a necessity to overcome a work related accident in August 2002, which left Blake unable to care for himself.
Building a company during a battle with prescription drug withdrawals would be unheard of but Blake and Dawn followed their dream and turned tragedy into an opportunity. “In the beginning every one told us that we were crazy, the big fish will eat you up. We just went for it and never looked back.” said Dawn. To learn more about how Naked Bait Co Inc. got started please visit www.nakedbaitco.com
Blake Muhlenbruck spent the last few years developing relationships and getting to know some of the most creative and innovative entrepreneurs in the sport fishing industry and their stories are equally the same.
