Wooden Fishing Lure Building Kits
for Salt & Freshwater

Topwater Kits

 

See the link below for complete assembly pictorials!

Effective immediately anyone purchasing kits for resale will pay the 10% Sportfishing excise tax on top of your order unless you supply us with a current IRS Form 637 exemption. Sorry but the kits are intended for end users not for people to finish and sell as $25 finished lures. This does not affect people who have custom turning runs done as that already has the tax added.  I'm not getting rich doing this and not paying someone else's tax out of my pocket.
Thanks for understanding.

Also Tips & Suggestions for finishing your kit lures can be found on this page!


PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE GUIDES ONLY and Salty's reserves the right to make changes to kits/lures at any time.

PLEASE NOTE: Kits are just that. They are NOT finished lures.
Kits will require some minor sanding usually on the ends to clean up any residual marks etc.

What our customers have to say:

"My brother and I recently purchased 10 kits from you.  
I want to compliment you on them.  Nicely finished, consistently shaped, and all the parts necessary.
I am thrilled with them.  I will be back for more."

"The 5 I ordered were delivered yesterday. This is what I've been looking for.
Your customer service and shipping time is the best. Thanks from a very satisfied repeat customer"

"I ordered a package from you 3 days ago.
It came yesterday. I was so impressed
that I am ordering more!!!!!! Thanks"

"Love your products my boy and I have a great time making lures all winter."

"my son loves your lure kits/loves fishing"

"My husband is nuts for these lure kits"

"I love your lure kits"

"What a season I had this year in Maine and Mass. All from the shore with all Salty Lures I made myself.
It was fun to make them to my own specs and then use them to catch fish in all kinds of situations.
Keep up the good work and keep producing quality products."

"Where did you hear about us?: friend with a 30+lber caught on your lure!"

"Thanks again for putting these great kits together.  Here are the latest to fall victim to the Canal Special, all black gloss enamel finish…what a great feeling to catch fish using baits you finish yourself!!  A 46 inch musky and 35 inch northern pike.  The orange and black top water also turned up 18 and 22 inch largemouth and a 42 inch musky on its first outing.  We will definitely be ordering more kits for my group of 12 before we make our planned trip to Lake of Woods for a fall musky outing!!"

"I purchased a tally wacker and a charktail needle kit from you last winter and they turned out great. I was very satisfied."

"I'm a totally satisfied repeat customer"

"I really like your kits"

"Just as a side note my first batch of plugs are finally finished.... some came out great some "well lets just say that epoxy final coat is not my best skill" boy did I goof up a few plugs.. but I will sand them down and start again... but Today for the first time ever I took out to the beach 4 of the finished plugs that came out well and test swam them at the beach to see how they swam...
Scott one thing I do want to say to you is that it is obvious that you have put a lot of time into properly designing and weighting these plugs.. the big mouth squid popper has an action like a pencil and a regular popper and makes a major commotion on the water... The tallywackers swam great and the regular squid popper was weighted to dance perfectly...

Even though there was no fish it is obvious that when there are present fish that these plug will get assaulted... great job Scott, Ive been surf fishing 40 years now and I know a good plug...great job.. Nice going buddy, these plugs have a lot of RD in their design... and it shows in their great action..."

"The kits are perfect every time. It allows the maker to get quite creative.
I have had more fun this year getting ready for the season. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making an excellent product."

"I love your kits, Top notch, every time I go to buy a lathe I come here instead. VALUE++++++"

"My order arrived today. I am extremely pleased. Great Kits"

"I do want to tell you if you haven't heard, the new Salty Wadd kit was a success in Cuttyhunk last weekend. It accounted for the majority of fish on this moonlit evening.
This plug was painted in a copper hue. It outfished the rest of the plugs that were thrown side by side. I personally love the size and shape. Different than the norm."

"You make a really great product, and I will be making another order after the new year"

"Scott, just got the last batch of kits, they look great These are a real asset to city dwellers like myself who LOVE tinkering with fishing stuff, but don't have the room or time to turn their own plugs. Some will be given as gifts and the rest will be christmas gifts for myself!"

"Great plug kits for my son who is 8 years old"

"Thanks great kits!!!!"

"Your products are terrific. Thanks for the fun making them."

More Kits being added on a regular basis!
