Company Information
Chris Hendershot is a pennsylvilnia native
whose life long love of fishing began along
the Susquehanna River where he grew up.
The Gitzit Company, which was originally
BASS-N-Man, was famous for the Fat Gitzit
tube lure, When it fell into bankruptcy in
1992. Chris, thinking he might try his hand
at the fishing lure business, acquired Bass-
N-Man and began to reorganize the old
company.
He spent the following months traveling
across the country, contacting old accounts,
assuring them that Gitzit would meet their
demands and was anxious to service their
accounts.
For the next three years Chris collected no
salary to help launch Gitzit as a reputable
company in the fishing industry. Still today
he designs lures that are life like and
appeal to both the fish and fishermen. The
original Fat Gitzit tube, the Paddle Fry and
the Little Tough Guy are some of Gitzit's
most sought after.
It is the goal of Gitzit to be involved in
Community efforts, especially where children
are concerned. It is our way of giving back
for the generous support from folks like you
who through our seventeen years in the
business, have made our journey so
rewarding.
