Big D Hard Baits

Big D Hard Baits Custom airbrushed and hand-painted fishing lures. Then I field test them to make sure they catch fish. Now I'm selling them to you.

I take high quality lure blanks, test each one to ensure they are water tight, paint them with an airbrush and sometimes detail by hand with a brush. Each lure uses high quality split rings and Mustad KVD Triple Grip short shank treble hooks, typically #4 or #6. Each lure is double dipped in the hardest clearcoat I could find to ensure durability. If I wouldn't want to buy these lures, I wouldn't expect you to. Find out for yourself how much attention you can get on the water when you have a Big D!

Big D has a BFD and an important message! I'm sad to miss the Tremont fishing show this weekend. It's a great cause and I might be able to show up as an attendee if I have a few things fall into place. You should do the same. That shouldn't stop me from supporting the cause. So it's sale time! Not really a sale, but my prices will be going up soon.

Details: For every lure I sell from this group of photos between now and Saturday, I will donate $5 to St. Jude. Not per order. Per lure. If you have Big D, then you already know that true joy comes from sharing with others!

Each lure is $10. Shipping via USPS costs around $5-6 whether I send 1 lure or 10. I don't know about more than that, but you will pay shipping. Unless you're within the free delivery area of somewhere between LeRoy and Bloomington or so.

Rules: Do not buy a lure you that don't want just to support St. Jude! My friends Big City Fishing Gear have a link where all your money that you want to donate can go straight to St. Jude: https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Events/Events?pg=entry&fr_id=160637

Aside from that, if you want a lure from any of the photos below, you must go to the Facebook post (Sorry Instagrammers) comment on the photo with the number of the exact lure(s) you want. If someone already has posted that number on the photo, you can't also buy it. These are WYSIWYG. I'll send you a message at the end of the week, or hopefully sooner when they're all sold, to figure out getting them to you and payment.

Unfortunately, Big D will not be able to make it set up a table this year. But, don't let that stop you from heading there. There are a lot of great local vendors and local guides to shop and chat with! You can spend an hour or the whole day there. It's a great event!

This is a great show run by great people for a great cause. Admission is free to get in. Really nice auction and raffle items, as well as some tasty food vendors. Mark your calendars if you haven't already.

I'm struggling to keep up with demand. That's not bragging on how many orders are coming in, but more of an admission of how many winter projects I have going on right now. However, if you reach out, I'm happy to fill any requests. Just don't contact me via a script based off a post that has nothing to do with showcasing lures for sale.

Merry Christmas to all the friends and fans of Big D! Thanks for a great year!!!

Christmas orders have all gone out. Inventory is low. If you need something send a message, but if I don't already have it, I can't get it to you by Christmas. If you're looking for something specific without the deadline, now's the time to get in line.

GIVEAWAY!!!

I continue to find ways to implement subliminal advertising in accordance with my advertising budget. I'm feeling a little guilty about it, so I will offer a free Big D Spook Bait to the first person* who comments the minute and seconds where the Big D logo appears in this video. https://youtu.be/FT8Khk0HeIk?si=me1JOHsQordN_jll

(*Offer void to anyone listed in the credits of the video, their roommates, or their immediate family)

Let's talk about the Big D guarantee. Here's a picture of a crankbait that my kid whip cracked at 120 mph straight into a pile of rip rap. If something similar happens to you, or if there's any issue with your bait, get a hold of me. Get it to me and I'll trade you for another one of your choice. For the life of the bait.
