Established 2004



My name is David Ryan and I have been privately painting baits
for myself and other tournament fisherman for the past 15 years.
Now I am offering my custom paint jobs to the public. Like just a
few others in the industry, this is my only job. I have dedicated
myself to the sport that I love. Fishing for me is much more than
just a hobby. I have spent the better part of my life with a fishing
lure in my hand.
-------------------------------------------
BLACK MARKET BALSA'S!!
-------------------------------------------
Over the past 15 years I have been studying and testing different
shallow running balsa crankbaits. After growing tired of never
finding any that ran like my original "Legendary" brass eyed
baits I decided to re-create them.
Do not be fooled by those other baits on the market today that
may have the appearance of the old baits. I assure you they are
not built like the old baits were.
Dave's Custom Baits proudly presents the BLACK MARKET
BALSA'S!!
The Black Market Balsa's will be available in three sizes. Small
(#1), Medium (#2) and Large (#3).
These baits are hand carved, custom painted and hand tuned by
David.
So that means they are ready to fish when you get them!
No more buying the old baits from auction sites that you hope
will run. No more buying the wrong colored baits from those
same auction sites only to have them repainted.
You will be able to order the size you want, as well as the color
that you desire!
---------------------
KNOW THIS!
---------------------
As a competitive tournament angler I realize how crucial it is to
have a quality paint job. I also realize that paint and clear coat
build-up only deadends the action of the bait. I will make a
conscious effort to paint every lure as if it were my own. The
quality is what matters and the quality is what will bring back
happy customers for repeat business!!
-----------------------------------
DURABLE FINISHES!
-----------------------------------
I have a wide variety of paint schemes available. I also have one
of the most durable high gloss finishes on the market today. I
have developed this technique over many years of trial and error.
My high gloss finish will not spiderweb when an errant cast takes
your bait into a dock, tree or rocks. Although, repeated abuse has
an adverse effect to any and all paint jobs.
