But there's quite a few guys on the board that make custom lures, myself included. www.cabinfeverlures.com Kory also makes some good jigs - www.thunderstruckjigs.com Chris's stickbaits are great, although I haven't used any of his other stuff yet. - www.nemesisbaits.com And Smitty's got some great stuff, or so I've heard. I have yet to try anything yet, but eventually I'll order some of the tubes that I've heard so much about. - www.smittystubes.com Sorry if I missed anybody, I can't remember them all. BB

Thanks for posting Anthony. I own Thunderstruck Jigs and if there is anything I can do for you just holler. I will tell you this though, if you are looking for cheap jigs we probably aren't what you are after. We use very high end components and there is just no way to sell that stuff cheap and stay in business.

Kory is right, if you are wanting high quality baits from anybody, even BPS or Cabela's you are going to have to pay for it. Quality components come at a higher cost. Unless you find some good stuff on clearance...

As stated above, I don't think you can ever put "Cheap & Custom" together. Ever. Your best bet is to go to fishing shows. I know most of them are over but a lot of small plastic companies have bags of baits very cheap. You can also try Gander Mountain, they have cheap plastic baits. Good luck in your search.

Thanks for putting us up there Anthony. We will do pretty much anything you want in the baits we offer but right now we're pretty swamped so there is a delay on custom orders. The issue is that while a little cheaper than some big guys like Yammy, most things are not cheap.

The stores also have to mark up baits to pay staff, expenses, advertising etc., etc. This I don't have the same overhead expenses. I do have show costs and my time. After that my expenses are minimal. Then again I have some baits that are more expensive due to the time and materials needed to make them. My new swimbait/trailers are an example. So basically it depends on the product. Some will be less expensive and some will be more. |

I have some of kory's jigs as well as anthony's jigs. I am gonna get some of smitty's tubes too. The way i figure it is this. You get great quality no matter if the product is a little higher or lower than the store. I LOVE what i have gotten so far. And i TRUST these guys no matter waht too. If i have a problem, these guys will fix it....NUFF SAID!
