Hi, I’m Blaine.
Founder of Jig Is Up Lurecraft. Avid angler. Passionate baitmaker.
Here’s the deal. We pay a lot of money for so-so baits – baits that are expensive, fall apart really fast, and oftentimes don’t have the action we want. I started making my own lures because store-bought baits simply didn’t have the quality and performance I craved on the water.
Now I teach other anglers how to do the same 👇
✅ Make great baits
✅ Spend less money
✅ Catch more fish
The best bait you’ll ever throw is one you made yourself. I genuinely believe that.
If you do too, you’ll fit right in here. Drop your email below and I’ll send you tips, tutorials, and the occasional thing that made me say “wow.”
