Handmade Ratttling Musky Baits
Welcome to the internet home of Hoosier Handmade Musky Baits. Our baits are totally custom and handmade from select Indiana hardwoods. Hand cut, shaped and painted one at a time. Each bait requires three weeks to finish. I use Name brand extra strong bronze hooks, Stainless steel hardware and now coated with at least 5 coats of the most durable epoxy available. What sets our wood baits appart from the rest are the EXTRA LOUD internal rattles. The 9" baits and the New Fat Potbelly Glider have special double two tone rattle that make a different sound that changes depending on the direction the bait is moved. Also note that I can make Topwater versions of all our Gliders. I ship via Priority Mail minimum rate is $6.00. and I can ship up to a pound of baits (2) for that rate. Click the email link and ask me any questions you have. My baits are being sealed under and over the paint job with a new more durable UV tolerant epoxy, .092" dia. SS screweyes set with 3000lb marine epoxy, and attached with double strength split rings. New this year are the Deep diving version of the 7" Rattling Shad crankbait and the 7" Fat Potbelly Glider 1" thick with a double rattle. This is a heavy glider for its size and stays down very nicely. I will paint other colors not listed here just send me a picture. Please visit all my friends via. the links on this page. All Indiana sales will be assesed state sales tax.
Thanks for visiting!
