About
Hunter C. Lures
Originating out of small town Kalaheo, Kauai.
Creating artificial lures since 2016.
Handcrafted fishing lures made with Aloha from the Garden Isle of Kauai, Hawaii. Exclusive and limited custom topwater or sinking stick baits, poppers, trolling heads. Hawaiian style lures for Giant Trevally and Tuna fishing.
Made in Hawaii, Built to Last!
The Process? Each lure is made one by one to assure the maximum quality and intricate detail to be truly one of a kind. Handmade using the traditional razor blade carving methods and lots of sanding. As well, using a lathe to create big game and bass poppers.
Lures are keel weighted and swim tested to HC standards. Every lure is based coated with a superior resin to harden the inside of the lure, waterproof the lure, and make stronger. Then, each airbrush painted, hand painted, foiled, and detailed before adding 7+ Top quality epoxy coats to preserve, protect and produce. Being wet sanded in between each coat to assure that my baits are strong, durable and will last a long time before retirement.
In the end each lures finishes off to be a unique handmade functional art piece.
Most of these wooden very limited one of a kind lures will be listed under the "Exclusive Lure Section."
Other lures you will find are "Exclusive" solid core lures that are custom shaped, painted differently to "Signature Series."
Some of these limited lures are barely made or will never be made again.

Introducing Hunter C. Signature Series Models.
All models have been test in water of Kauai, Hawaii.
Building lures over the years I have come to a conclusion that if I am crafting lures of such beauty I would like it to last a life time for each an every angler and for you to get full benefit out of them.
That is why I have decided to R&D different materials leading me onto resin cast lures and mold making. Building up my mold library creating variety of custom lures that are designed for GT and Tuna fishing.
Lure building is time consuming no matter what method you choose to create them in.
All lures are handcrafted from start to finish, just in a new process... A few changes have been made to the Hunter C. Process.
Still traditionally shaped from wood being balanced, hand shaped and tested to swim in a well proven swim pattern before the molding stage.
Once lure is up to Hunter C. Standards it is then molded in silicone rubber preserving the custom shape.
Each lure is then poured individually with premium casting resin creating the solid core of the lure.
Solid cores will assure a more durable lure then wood core lures againts our rough fishing terrain. This also benefits lures by never getting water logged when the top epoxy gets beat up from toothy critters. As well, having the same action in lures without it getting heavier and dulling the swim pattern.
An internal weight system is added along with stainless steel wire molded into the bodies.
All lures are then airbrush painted, detailed and varies other modifications are added finsihing off with several layers epoxy. Individually made into beautiful creations.
