gone2long Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nice but I've seen much better from you folks on here, maybe not large production like him but way more pizazz and detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskyGary Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I looked his lures up at Tacklewarehouse...$22.99 each! I don't think I'll be buying any for now. Back to the airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prhunt Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I am glad some of enjoyed the pix of my shop.I started building baits in a small corner of my garage and now am living a dream.I truly enjoy everyday.I too love pizzaz but now build functional hand tuned baits and have trouble keeping up. As for the price,my baits fall into the middle price range of quality balsa baits and I feel blessed that a number of fishermen appreciate the time and effort involved to build them.thx. phil 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass100 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It is great to see a fellow lure maker take it to the next level. You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I ENJOYED THE TOUR VERY MUCH. i LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE WORK WITH THEIR HANDS, AND NOT EVERYTHING ROBOTIC.tHEIR IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT BALSA THAT JUST GIVES A BAIT A LITTLE BETTER ACTION, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGCREW Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It is nice to see a guy living his dream, and making lures with just 3 guys is cool to, I someday hope to be doing the same, I hope I can get close to the price he gets for his lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prhunt Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 The one I have was six months old when I bought it from Lee Sisson.cuts 300-500 baits a day depending on size and shape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuskyGary Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Enjoyed the tour and your baits look great! I just wish I could make something like that from scratch. Your prices are in line with the quality you put in, maybe I'll be able to buy a couple this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benton B Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 That was a very nice tour of your operation. Your price is very fair for balsa cranks. From someone who still does it in the corner of my garage I say thank you for showing me the next level. I have to work my butt off to make 500 baits a year but it's fun work.
