St. Augustine, FL – – Fishbites®, the leading manufacturer of scented artificial fishing bait, announced today that it will be adjusting prices across its entire product line due to increased costs from the newly imposed international tariffs.

As a company that prides itself on delivering high-quality products to the fishing community, Fishbites has worked diligently to absorb the rising costs. However, the recent round of tariffs on imported materials crucial to the manufacturing process has significantly impacted supply and production expenses.

“The recent tariffs imposed by the current administration have greatly affected many businesses. Most of the raw materials we import to make our products have been influenced by higher pricing due to these tariffs that can range anywhere from 10% to 25%. We at Fishbites have always been dedicated to bringing our customers the highest quality products at the most affordable price. That will always be the case,” said Terry Dillinger, President & CEO of Fishbites.

The price increase will go into effect on April 18, 2025, and reflects increases solely on materials impacted. Fishbites remains committed to transparency and will provide updated pricing information on its website and through its authorized dealers. “This is a dynamic situation and may be adjusted as tariffs evolve,” said Dillinger.

“We understand the importance of value, and we’ll continue to do everything we can to keep our products affordable without sacrificing the quality our customers trust.”
