In the tank

We coordinate lure, pack, and freight across the houses that actually run that bait — not one factory for every shape. Most first orders use an existing mold.
Send a photo or mail a baitTank clips so you can see action, sink, and pause before you lock a run. On-the-water shows how the bait is fished.
Action, sink, pause. No voiceover.
Bass and inshore. How the bait is fished.
Send a photo or mail one bait. We agree on mold, colors, hooks, and pack. No deposit for that.
This is a signed sample — colors, hooks, and pack — not hundreds of retail packs. You pay the sample. If the tank clip is wrong, you do not go to production.
For this kind of brand, production is often hundreds of packs, not a container. 50% starts that order; the rest is due before the cartons leave. Later reorders follow the same signed sample.
Freight is in the DAP quote. Duty stays a separate line.
The 50% is the deposit on the production order, not on the sample.
No. First orders should use an existing mold. You still choose colors, hook brand, and the pack. A new cavity comes later, if that shape sells.
The sample is a few baits. Production for a creator brand is often hundreds of packs, not a container. Printed bags and new molds have their own minimums. We tell you which number applies before you pay.
Yes. We shoot tank clips — action, sink, pause — on the sample you would actually produce. If the clip is wrong, you do not pay for a production run.
A signed sample, retail pack (bag, card, barcode, origin text), production to that sample, a check before ship, then a DAP quote to your address. Duty is a separate line. We are not your U.S. importer.
Bass and inshore: minnows, walkers, poppers, paddle tails, stick baits, shrimp-style soft plastics. Not frogs, giant musky, or wood on the first project.
BKK, Mustad, Owner, or Gamakatsu — the brand on the signed sample. We do not swap in an unnamed hook on the reorder.
A locked sample plus a short list: hard baits (weight, balance, hardware, paint, pause); soft baits (shape, softness, oil, seal); packs (count, barcode, warning, carton mark).
Creators, shops, and guides who already have a name — especially if a bait stocked out and the next run has to match. Not a sourcing agent, not Amazon white-label volume, not “cheapest China” RFQs, not brands that must be Made in USA.
Email a photo, or mail one bait. Photos get you a route. A mailed bait gets you a number you can trust. Say the shape, a target quantity, and whether you already have pack artwork. Write first if you want a mailing address.
The quote is DAP to your address unless we write something else on the PI. Bond, importer of record, and unpaid duty stay with you unless they are on the PI.
China time. Replies usually land in U.S. business hours.
