*2011 is going
to be a great year 5 new Additions* Welcome
to the Internet home of Hoosier Handmade Musky Baits. I started designing and building musky baits as a hobby. It has
grown to be a part time business that I really enjoy. More enjoyment comes from somebody else catching muskies on my
baits and hearing the story and seeing the fish pictures from my customers all over the world. You won't find anyone
else making as many different baits to order anywhere! Please have a look and I'm sure you'll find something just for
you. My baits are handmade from Indiana hardwoods to order for each customer. Hand cut , shaped
and painted one at a time. Each bait requires three weeks to finish, sometimes longer during cold weather months. I use Mustad
Extra strong bronze hooks, .092" dia. ss screweyes mounted with 3000 lb. rated marine epoxy. All my baits
are coated with at least 5 coats of the strongest UV tolerant epoxy available. What sets our baits apart from the rest are
the LOUD internal rattles. These rattles also give the baits some very unique gliding characteristics. The 9 &
10" and the Fat Potbelly glider have double rattles that make different sounds depending on the movement of the bait.
Another unique feature is I offer both sinking and topwater versions of all my Gliders! I can also make heavier versions
if needed. I ship via US Priority Mail. Minimum rate is $6 for one pound. I can ship up to 2 baits for that
amount. The Kahuna family of topwater gliders is available in indestructible solid PVC or hard Maple, note that these
are the only non-rattle baits I offer. I now have available optional add on Tails from Boggs Tackle. You won't
find extravagant colors here. I offer natural patterns, that I have developed mainly through suggestions from my customers.
Since I build to order for everyone, I will paint other colors. Send me a picture of what you want and I'll tell
you if I can do it. All Indiana sales will require sales tax to keep the governor happy. I except Paypal, checks or
money orders. Please visit all my friends via the links on my home page. Also find the email link for any questions
you have and use this link to email me an order. Nothing fancy here just me doing what I love to do the most. And in
return PLEASE send me pictures of anything you hookup with. Thanks
for Visiting and if you come across me out on the water in my Silver and black BassCat please take a minute and say hello, Warning October and November will find me in a treestand or on the water. Bait
orders this time of year take alot longer.
