Frozen Bait – Trusted Options for Outer Banks Anglers
When live bait isn’t an option, frozen bait from Frank & Fran’s is the next best thing. Carefully selected and preserved for freshness, our frozen bait selection gives you the quality and variety needed to target a wide range of OBX species—from drum and bluefish to sea mullet and flounder.
Quality You Can Count On
Every bait we carry is flash-frozen to lock in natural oils, scent, and texture—key factors that attract gamefish in the surf, sound, or offshore. Unlike lower-grade options, our frozen baits maintain integrity after thawing, ensuring they stay secure on the hook and effective in the water.
Available Frozen Baits
- Mullet: A classic choice for red and black drum.
- Squid: Durable and versatile for sea mullet, spot, and trout.
- Shrimp: Perfect for bottom rigs and light tackle setups.
- Bunker (Menhaden): Great for cut bait applications targeting larger predators.
- Clams & Other Seasonal Options: Rotating stock based on availability and local demand.
