Question 1

How do I place a custom order?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the Custom Order form on the Custom Orders page. Describe the lure type, colors, target species, and any special requests. We'll review it and send you a personalized quote within 24–48 hours.

Question 2

Do I have to pay upfront?

Accepted Answer

No. You'll receive a quote first. Once you approve it, a deposit is required to lock in your spot in the build queue. The remaining balance is due before shipping.

Question 3

Can I order multiple lures at once?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Multi-lure orders are welcome and may qualify for a volume discount. Mention the quantity in your order request and we'll factor it into your quote.

Question 4

Can I order a lure as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Yes — just check the 'This is a gift' box on the order form. We can include a handwritten note and special gift packaging at no extra charge.

Question 5

How specific can I get with colors and patterns?

Accepted Answer

Very specific. You can describe exact colors, reference a baitfish in your lake, upload a photo of a lure you like, or even name a commercial color pattern as inspiration. We'll match it as closely as possible by hand.

Question 6

What lure types are available?

Accepted Answer

Squarebill crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, deep divers, jerkbaits, and swimbaits. If you have something else in mind, ask — we may be able to accommodate it.

Question 7

Can I get a memorial lure made?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Memorial lures are one of the most meaningful orders we build. Check the 'Memorial lure' option on the order form and include any details about the person being honored.

Question 8

What finish options are available?

Accepted Answer

Gloss, matte, and satin finishes are all available. If you're not sure which to choose, we can recommend based on your lure type and fishing conditions.

Question 9

How long does it take to build a lure?

Accepted Answer

Standard lead time is 2–4 weeks from order confirmation and deposit. During peak season (spring and fall) it may extend to 4–6 weeks. You'll get an accurate estimate with your quote.

Question 10

Do you ship nationwide?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Right Side Custom Lures ships to all 50 states. International orders are available on a case-by-case basis — contact us before ordering.

Question 11

How are lures packaged for shipping?

Accepted Answer

Each lure is individually wrapped and packed in a rigid box to prevent damage. Hooks are covered for safety. Gift orders receive special packaging.

Question 12

What paint and finish do you use?

Accepted Answer

Professional-grade airbrush paints and a multi-coat epoxy or urethane topcoat are used for durability. The finish is built to withstand repeated use in the water.

Question 13

Are the hooks included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All lures ship with quality treble hooks installed. If you have a hook preference (brand, size, or style), mention it in your order request.

Question 14

What if I'm not happy with my lure?

Accepted Answer

We stand behind every lure. If the finished lure doesn't match what was agreed upon, we'll make it right — either a replacement or a refund depending on the situation. Reach out with photos.
