Why My Prices Are Higher (and Worth Every Penny!)

You ever walk down the fishing aisle and notice how every single bait starts looking the same? Same patterns, same colors, same cheap little googly eyes staring back at you like a bucket of stunned shad. Well partner, that’s exactly why Custom Bait Shop does things different — and why my prices don’t look like the clearance rack at Walmart or Facebook Bait Maker Feeds.

Here’s the deal. Every single bait that leaves my shop gets the kind of attention most factory lures can only dream about. We’re talkin’ true custom craftsmanship:

• 🧠 Custom Designs Start on the Computer – I don’t just grab a pre-made stencil off the internet and spray away. Every pattern begins with a design I create from scratch on the computer, tailored specifically to the bait.
  
  
• ✂️ Hand-Cut, Custom Stencils – Once the design’s done, I make unique stencils for each pattern. No “one size fits all” cookie-cutter junk here.
  
  
• 🎨 Custom Color Mixing + Hand Brush Work – I mix my own colors like a mad scientist in a tackle lab, and I brush in details by hand. You won’t find another bait with that exact finish anywhere.
  
  
• 👀 Upgraded Eyes – You won’t see cheap stickers here. I use high-end, realistic eyes that make these baits come alive in the water.
  
  
• 🪝 Upgraded Hooks – Because nothing ruins a good catch like a dull, weak hook. My baits are ready to fish straight out of the box.
  
  
• ⏱ Time & Care – On average, each bait gets 2 full hours of work from start to finish. Some of my more elaborate paint jobs? They take up to 4 hours. I don’t rush art.
  
  
• 💪 Top-Tier Materials – From primers to sealers to crystal-clear topcoats, I only use the good stuff. This ensures your bait isn’t just pretty — it’s tough enough to stand up to big fish and long days on the water.

🎣 It’s Art. It’s Craftsmanship. It’s One-of-a-Kind.

When you buy a bait from Custom Bait Shop, you’re not buying something churned out by the thousands overseas. Or tired stencils and patterns anybody can paint. You’re buying a unique, hand-crafted piece of fishing art.

Yeah, some folks try to copy my work. And honestly? I take it as a compliment. But here’s the thing — no matter how close they get, they still don’t look like mine. That’s the beauty of hand-crafted work.

So sure, you can buy a mass-produced lure for half the price. But you’ll also be throwing the same exact bait as every other angler on the lake. With my baits, you’re fishing something different. Something with real soul.
