Since man first began fishing, we have always worked to develop better technology for landing more fish. As we transitioned from spear to hook to fly and lure, anglers have continued a proud tradition of developing new lures and building plugs. This page celebrates the proud and skilled craftspersons who can take raw metal or wood and fashion it into the beautiful and useful fishing lures that make our time on the water so fruitful.
Each month, we will feature an advertiser, classic plug or a lure making technique on this page. Please scroll down and review our listing of New Jersey Custom Lure Makers.
FISHINJERSEY.COM CUSTOM LURES & TACKLE FEATURED ADVERTISER:
 |
Our first featured advertiser for our "Custom Lures" page is an advertiser who has been with us since our first day in August of 2013. Bob Brennan is the owner/operator of "Black Label Plugs" and hails from Forked River, New Jersey. Our web site visitors should be familiar with the Black Label name. Our Black Label Plug Giveaway last fall was a huge promotion with many site visitors trying to win one for their collection or to toss in the surf after "cow" bass. The quality of Bob's plugs are evident from the first look. Black Label Plugs are wired through and sealed with epoxy for a truly waterproof plug. They also run true from the moment they leave the package. That is because Bob tests every one and tunes it to run perfectly...so you can spend more time throwing it...instead of messing with it.
Bob's son Keith is also getting in on the family business. He learned the craft working alongside his Dad. Keith will also be showing some of his creations, along with his father at the Berkeley Striper Club Flea Market. Keith couldn't have a better mentor, since father, Bob, has been at it for years.
If you know someone who fishes and you need a nice birthday or Father's Day gift, handcrafted plugs are always a great idea. They make great stocking stuffers at the holidays, too. You can contact Bob through email at the Black Label Plugs web site. You can also check out example's of Bob's work on his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/blacklabelplugs
