Can everyone post names of either independently owned USA bait companies (not owned by a larger conglomerate or holdings company) that make their baits overseas or independent USA bait companies that do their manufacturing here in the states.

Name the company, and whether their baits are made here or overseas.

Thanks in advance

Almost all of your hard bait blanks are produced over seas. We are too regulated and labor costs are too high to make it profitable for the smaller bait makers.

Even if some dude is pouring his own jigs, unless he is using Eagle Claw hooks, most others are not made in the USA. So technically a jig made with an Mustad, Owner or Gamakatsu hook would not be made in the USA.

True Turn of course is made in Texas!

No. I just go to his house when I need stuff. He’s less than a minute from me. He’s a great guy. His wife is nice too. Good people.

I should have bought some spinnerbaits from him. I have most of his molds and make most of the things he had.
