The days of trying to track down an open bait shop to purchase redworms or nightcrawlers before your early morning fishing trip may be a thing of the past. Walmart is now offering a Live Bait Pickup and Delivery Service at 3,287 Walmart stores across the United States.

According to progressivegrocer.com, customers can now easily order their live bait online and either choose to pick it up at a particular Walmart or have it delivered to their home or even to their local boat ramp. The order is ready for pickup or delivery in a matter of minutes.

Other types of live bait, such as minnows and shiners, will still need to be purchased from a traditional bait shop.

“With Walmart’s Live Bait Pickup and Delivery Service, fishers can confidently set out on their fishing trips knowing that fresh, live bait is just a few clicks away on our app,” the company stated in a press release. “Regardless of whether you are a seasoned angler or a casual hobbyist, Walmart has all your fishing essentials covered. So, the next time you plan a fishing trip, remember that getting your live bait is now just a click away. Walmart’s new service is sure to make a splash and get you hooked!”
