Lures, made local, made by hand.
Welcome to our new lure section. As we begin to feature handmade lures by local companies/local anglers, we hope you enjoy the skillset each craftsman offers, and find your new personal best on one of their creations. Please keep in mind, some customs lures could take time to create, while others might be readily available.

Typically available and short wait times if not. We do have some stock available and ready to ship.
The name says it all, and the weight is 2.5 ounces! This lure is a great swimmer and a slow-sinker, and it is perfect for around the rocks or in the shallows, this lure is a true winner. Cast it to where you want it, let it sink to the desired depth and retrieve it in slowly. An occasional twitch will cause the underbelly to turn sideways and give a flash and show some color to the fish.
Otherwise known as the 24.7 “Montauk Special”, these lures are 8.5” and 3.25 ounces. A hybrid between our 9” and 7” Needlefish Lures, this 8.5” version is a fatty that will help you go the distance, especially on a cast.
If you enjoy throwing big spook-lures and fishing topwater, the 247 Mully is your ammo of choice. This lure is 6.5” and 2 ounces.
At 10” and 1.25 oz., these long, skinny and fast zig zag swimmers are made to float just under the surface and attract the attention of those fast swimmers. If you’re targeting albies and bonito during the late spring/early fall, you’ll enjoy the performance these handmade lures offer. Cast it out, let it sink to your designed level, retrieve it slowly and give it a bump every so you can change up the motion and create that extra attention to land those 40mph sideway swimmers. It’s definitely a game changer and if you’re use to hooking stripers and blues, but not albies, you’ll only increase your adrenaline and add more drive to your day and night.
At 1.75 oz., these slow sinkers are the perfect swimmers from shore or boat.
