Custom Painting FAQs

Your questions answered about our professional lure customization service.

We apply multiple layers of high-grade, UV-resistant epoxy clear coat. This not only protects the intricate artwork but also provides exceptional resistance to hook rash, teeth marks, and general wear and tear, ensuring your lure looks fantastic season after season in Alberta's waters.
Typical turnaround time is 1-2 weeks from the final design approval, depending on the complexity of the pattern and our current workload. We will provide an estimated completion date with your initial quote. Expedited options may be available upon request.
Absolutely! We encourage you to provide high-resolution photos of local baitfish or target species. Our artists excel at replicating natural patterns and colors to create a lure that perfectly mimics the forage in your favourite fishing spots.

While our primary service is custom painting, we can discuss minor hardware upgrades such as premium treble hooks or split rings. Adding internal sound chambers or rattles is typically not possible for existing lures without compromising structural integrity, but can be factored into certain custom blank designs.
