SINCE 2007
WE BUILD CUSTOM FISHING LURES!
You Dream It,
We Build It!
We Can Build Custom:
Bucktails, Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits, Inline Spinners, Jigs, Crankbaits, Tied Bucktail Trebles, Feather Hooks, Marabou Hooks, Tied Flashabou Hooks, Spoons, Soft Baits, Flys, Umbrella Rigs, Fishing Lure Add-Ons, Walleye Spinner Rigs, Live Bait Rigs, Leaders, Add-On Frog Stinger Hooks, Premium Custom Designed Bucktails, Hard Baits, Lead Jigs, Lead Weights, Snag Hooks, Custom Wire Bending, Floating Bucktails, Freshwater, Saltwater, 3D Printed Lures and more...
We are not a fishing lure manufacturer!
We are a custom built fishing lure experience. We care about catching fish and the quality of our lure builds, not quantity!
Online Custom Orders!
We are aware of shipping delays via the Post Office, we ask that you please be patient as they are currently overwhelmed. Certain locations are taking up to a month or more to deliver.
"We design, create and build our custom lures with care, precision, detail, innovation, imagination, forward thinking, higer standards, premium components and excellent craftmanship, which all defines our passion for fishing.
We believe that you deserve the very best, when you receive your BNT custom built lure!
And...we have a lifetime warranty on our custom built lures"*
-BNT Custom Lures
* Original buyer, custom lure purchased through BNT or at Fishing Connection Tackle Shop
Email Us:
We have a lifetime warranty on our custom built lure orders!*
*Original custom lure owner only, proof of purchase necessary. BNT custom lure bought direct with Boat-N-Tackle Outfitters (BNT Custom Lures) or through Fishing Connection Tackle Shop custom built lure ordering. USPS Priority shipping cost to/from BNT to rebuild lure is at the expense to the original purchaser. Lures can be dropped off/picked up at Fishing Connection Tackle Shop. Standard lures purchased direct on boatntackle.com E-store pages and at Fishing Connection do not have a full lifetime warranty, just custom orders, but we can rebuild them for you for our standard lure building fee.
