A few weeks ago I won some lures on a Facebook contest via Fish Bait Radio?s Facebook page. When I received the lures I was amazed by the quality of the handmade wooden lures. I am so impressed with the lures I do not know if I should fish them or put them on the collection shelf with my vintage and rare lures. However with top water season soon approaching I will have to give in and cast some of these amazing lures.
Through testimonials and the design of the lures and I am already convinced that Impact Lures makes fishing lures that will work. According to Impact, the lure company is built on a simple concept of producing quality baits in the Old American style. ?We use only the best components?stainless steel eye screws, double strong split rings and hooks?for our hardwood lures. We take pride in creating products that we have tested and found to be successful." (Here is a video of the lures in action that I borrowed from the Impact Lures web site.)
"Our wood lures are unique and crafted one by one, hand sanded and individually painted. These lures are actually mini art works, but don?t let them fool you, they have caught plenty of fish.?~ Impact Lures
The company has much pride in being one of the few surviving handmade lure companies in the USA. The craftsmanship of each lure speaks for itself and their fish catching ability has been proven time and time again. The encourage anglers, ?Don't just take our word for it. Cast one and feel the difference.? From their durable construction to their casting ability, they are confident that anglers will see the difference between their products and mass produced lures.
A lot can be said about the old school wooden lures, they definitely left their mark on history with long standing world records yet to be beaten by modern designs. They also hold a place in the hearts of anglers that remember the vintage lures in their fathers and grandfathers tackle boxes. Impact Lures with modern design concepts and time proven techniques in manufacturing give anglers the confidence of vintage lures and the technology of modern tactics in fishing. You can be sure that I will post photos soon of bass I caught with my prize lures.
