Refund policy

All sales are final.

Custom Bait Shop creates fishing baits designed to be used in real-world conditions—heat, cold, rocks, hang-ups, improper gear, and more. Once a bait leaves the shop, it is put to the test in environments and situations that are outside of our control. Because of this, all sales are considered final unless deemed otherwise through direct communication via email.
