Lure Makers

Started in my basement with a 3D printer and a obsession with fishing the Northeast. I design every lure from scratch, add the hooks, hand-paint them, and take them straight to the water to see if they actually work. No shortcuts. If it doesn’t catch fish, it doesn’t ship. What started as a passion project is turning into something real — and I’m just getting started. Follow along for the builds, the tests, and the catches.

Veteran owned and operated. Bringing that military attention to detail to our baits. We strive for the best quality baits from a small business bait maker.

R&P Custom Lures is a passion-driven small business founded by lifelong angler and proud father Tyler Smith. Inspired by childhood fishing memories with his dad and grandfather and reignited by watching his sons discover the sport. Specializing in bass lures, swimbaits, musky baits, trout patterns, handcrafted wooden baits, lipless cranks, resin lure blanks, each lure is carefully tested, detailed, and built with premium materials. More than just tools for catching fish, R&P Custom Lures products carry the spirit of family, the joy of the water, and the thrill of the bite.

We are a unique business because we are out of lake nasworthy and there is great fishing but you need the right baits and we are also working on a website like fish brain but better

I make a variety of soft plastics, jigs, and spinnerbaits and hopefully more coming soon but what really sets my soft plastics from other bait makers is that I don’t put salt in my lures which makes them very durable. Salt can really make the baits less durable and only last a fish or 2 but mine don’t use any salt so I can catch many fish on the same bait. I use a sinking plastic so you still get the same affect as is you were using salt.

High quality soft plastice baits that get bit! Willing to do custom colors schemes that you can't get in stores or with big brands. #YouGonnaEatThat
