Individually crafted stickbaits and poppers, tested on GT, tuna, kingfish and more.

At Cavy Fishing, every handmade lure starts as a passion project and ends as a proven tool for serious anglers. Each stickbait and popper is shaped, painted, and tested on the water to handle GTs, tuna, kingfish, snapper and other hard-hitting predators. Unlike mass-produced gear, handmade lures are built for the extreme demands of saltwater — long casts, true swimming action, and durability when the strike comes.

Why Handmade Lures Matter

Handmade lures aren’t just about looks - they’re about performance. Each one is balanced for lifelike action, strong enough to survive brutal strikes, and tuned to cast long even into the wind. For anglers chasing trophy fish, handmade stickbaits and poppers offer the confidence that factory-made lures can’t.

Handmade Lures for Serious Saltwater Fishing

Handmade lures aren’t mass-produced in a factory - they’re crafted one by one, with every cut, coat of paint and epoxy finish done by hand. That attention to detail means each stickbait and popper has its own balance and action, designed to tempt saltwater predators that crush ordinary lures.
For GT fishing, handmade stickbaits are legendary. Their casting distance, durability and lifelike swim make them a must-have when you’re throwing into reef edges or bluewater. Poppers are just as deadly, kicking up noise and bubbles that trigger explosive surface strikes from tuna, mackerel and kingfish.

Handmade lures aren’t limited to offshore monsters either. Inshore, they excel on snapper, coral trout and other reef dwellers, especially when fish are pressured and shy. The unique finishes, weight distribution and hardware mean they keep performing session after session.

Yes, handmade lures cost more - but serious anglers see them as an investment. With one lure lasting longer, swimming truer, and producing more fish than a handful of cheap alternatives, they quickly pay for themselves.

At Cavy Fishing, Adam personally tests every handmade model in real tropical waters - reefs, rocky headlands, and surf - to make sure it performs when it matters. That’s why anglers worldwide trust Cavy handmade lures when chasing their fish of a lifetime.
