LIVELY at the New Jersey Saltwater Fishing Expo: Show Recap

The New Jersey Saltwater Fishing Expo was a fantastic opportunity to connect with serious anglers, charter captains, and bait shop owners looking for the best bait storage solutions. With a packed floor of fishing enthusiasts and industry pros, we had great conversations, showcased our latest products, and got valuable feedback on what matters most to our customers.

Key Takeaways from the Show

Strong Interest in LIVELY Bait Pens

Anglers and captains were particularly drawn to the LIVELY 18 and LIVELY 36 bait pens. The durability, floating design, and customizable water flow stood out as major advantages over other bait storage solutions. 

Positive Feedback on New Products

The LIVELY 18 drew attention as a compact yet highly functional option, ideal for those with limited space but still needing a reliable bait pen. The LIVELY 18 generated a lot of interest for holding eels and crabs. Its dimensions, durable construction, and floating design make it an excellent choice.

Growing Demand for a More Secure Lid

A major topic of discussion was preventing access to bait from otters. Many anglers shared concerns about otters raiding their bait pens. The overwhelming interest in a more secure lid option confirmed that this is a feature worth exploring further.

What’s Next?
