"Modern Lure Makers" *******   On this page I will try to show lures that [ were & are ] being produced from approx. 1970 - Present, by some very talented and artistic makers. Many that started out as one man operations have now grown so big they do sell commercially, most make differant models of swimmers, poppers, and darters. But, for lack of space I will probably just show one model. Today's custom makers take great pride not only in their lures appearance, but most importantly, its swimming action. THEY TRULY WANT YOU TO  CATCH FISH USING THEIR BAITS   I am a firm believer that the lures being produced today, are also the collectable lures of the future. So, if you have the chance to buy custom plugs, stick a few away. But most importantly fish them!!!    Currently, I too have been bitten by the custom lure making bug. If you would like to see some of my work, follow the link below. ~~ "Clayton's Customs" ~~
