Location: Muskegon Michigan | Hi all you great lure guys. I have had a terrible year in regards to my Health and AM looking for a way to get back into production. I have been down since April 30th. I have 13 models of Crank baits from 4 to 21 inches and a real goods client base that can only grow. My entire product lines are not being done right now as I am in and out of the hospital with various infections which are tied to my type II Diabetes. Im having great difficulty building any baits right now. I have lots of options from farming out some of my work to selling one or more product lines. I could also partner with a wood worker or wood shop. Any suggestions would be helpful. My wife is back to work full time as a Nurse and my son is also working full time and has kids.
I guess my first option is to look for someone to build my bodies for me. This would at least get me back into the paint room and back on track with my orders.
For any guys who have orders in right now please accept my apologies for not getting them done. At least no has paid in advance so that's a good thing. Anyone interested in building some bodies or talking about buying one or more product lines call me at 231-821-9020 or email me at [email protected].
You guys are the best. Mike King( Kingfisher) Owner Talonz / Fishall Lures. |

You make great lures! I know you have invested a lot of time, money, and heart into your business. It shows in every lure. It would not be the same if you farm things out. Take some time and get healthy. Thats what is most important.
All the best,

| Don't know how you make blanks, but you can get them done one a CNC. If you pick the wood and quality inspects the blanks, it would get you more time to paint etc.

So far no Cancer . Yea!!! More study though  Something is wearing me down and we do not know yet what it is. Most likely related to diabetes. Im going to go back to work next week and build some baits. Ill see how that goes. It might just be that last long drawn out infection was the deal. I hoping Im on the road to recovery.
