Joe's Bait and Tackle Opens on the Net

Empire, Michigan (NBp) - Joe's Bait And Tackle today announced that it is the first bait shop available on the Internet. With e-commerce on the rise, it was only a matter of time before you could buy worms from the comfort of your own home.

"Well, sure you gots fishin' stores on the Net already," announced Joe's proprietor Joe Stubble. "But, I was lookin' the other day and not one of 'em would sell ya a bunch of worms or other live bait."

Joe's will ship live bait to anywhere in the world. Stubble forsees a big market in places like Arizona.

"Worms don't live out in the desert, so how can people expect to go fishing in the desert? Now, people can get their worms from me."

Though Joe's specializes in worms, selling seven different varieties, he also carries a variety of other unpleasant things that you can throw into the water in hopes of attracting hapless fish. Stubble has managed to keep costs of his new service low, by catching the worms himself and packaging them in standard letter-size envelopes for easy mailing via US Mail.

Stubble has been pleased with the response so far, stating that he has even had international orders from as far away as Canada.

"Our motto is: as long as there's a fish left swimmin', we'll help ya catch it."

Stubble intends to announce the URL for the new site as soon as he can find the piece of paper he wrote it on.
