Tiny's Bait 'n' Bar is a bait shop and tavern in Malfourche, Mississippi, on the edge of the Black Brake swamp. The bait shop is famous for its live bait assortment, including nightcrawlers, leeches, crawfish, waxworms, Georgia jumpers, mousees, and spawn. The bar, on the other hand, is particularly known for its disdain for non-whites, homosexuals, Northerners and environmentalists. The proprietor, known only as "Tiny," is an immensely large man with a shaved pink bullet-shaped head and a fondness for chewing tobacco and tank tops that barely covered his expansive belly.
