I'm looking for a custom lure manufacturer that can put boat names, company names, whatever, molded inside the lure head. Nothing big time- I want to get a few made for my Dad for christmas and maybe some with my company's name on them for giveaways to customers. Deep do you do this?
Before the hurricanes I had a machine that we could print "tape" with but now I have to outsource it and they have pretty stiff minimum orders... What I do do for something special is on my DK model lures. We insert dimes where the eyes would go. One in the year we make it and the other in the year the person was born. ( we get them from coin dealers) Often we skirt them straight silver for effect.
We also have done them with pennies or even gold coins...
I can do most custom work in a hand poured shatter/chip resitant head. Abalone inserts with custom logo or names etc. 1" tuna heads to 5" marlin teasers. Just drop a note if you are interested.
This guy makes all my custom lures. He does quick work and is very very reasonable...check out this cutom lure, we caught a 71Lb YFT first time I pulled it.......
