I have a “thing” for handcrafted lures and it borders on an addiction. What’s worse is that my wife has the same addiction. Our favorite lure maker is Duro Cucak from Serbia…better known as “Veles Handcrafted Lures.” In my opinion, he makes the best lures I’ve seen to date. The craftsmanship is outstanding and every lure is a masterpiece. Whats more, they fish well and catch fish.

Our next favorite lure maker is Alexandru Piper and goes by Panlures and is based out of Bucuresti, Romania. His lures are outstanding, run true and are durable. Granted, a lot of his lures are aimed at the European trout fisherman, but many will transfer to here in the States.

Both of these artists can be found on Etsy as well as a few other websites. I’m not trying to sell anything, but if you’re interested, go check them out.
