Clyde's Classics

Clyde's Classics are the entry point into our custom painted baits collections. Our Classic offerings are the result of our relationship with a short list of vendors who have supplied us with an array of quality blanks at incredible prices. We have chosen to stick with classic body styles, and combine them with seven patterns exclusive to the Classics Collection to provide you with a unique, custom painted bait that won't break the bank. They use US made stainless steel split rings and US made Eagle Claw Lazer trebles to give you peace of mind as you set the hook. The Clyde's Classics Collection products are priced at 8.00.

Clyde's Cranks Premium Custom Painted Baits Collection is a line-up custom airbrushed baits that effectively mimic a real fish or frog. Painted by Bob Waldo (a.k.a. "Clyde") we've chosen almost two dozen various body styles, and married them with several distinct patterns to make a selection of lures that are irresistible to a gamefish on the prowl. Lastly, we add US made, stainless steel split rings, oval tie line rings, premium lure eyes from Jettson, Dead Meat Customs and Fish Skull, and KVD Triple Grip trebles to each bait we make to maintain our objective of offering some of the highest quality custom baits on the market today.

Black Mamba Topwater Baits

Black is Beautiful!

The original "Black Mamba" popper is Clyde's signature bait, and the product that inspired me to begin a business selling custom baits online. From its humble origins as a popper with a 2 3/4" gloss black body, blood red gill highlights, blood red hook, and a dressed treble of black squirrel tail and red feather, the Mamba has blossomed into a collection of five topwater bass fishing lures all true to the original products roots of gloss black and red. The Mamba Collection offers you a variety of sizes and topwater body types. There is now a family of Mambas that will cover many topwater largemouth bass fishing needs!

Topwater Bonanza!

SPECIAL SAVINGS ON CUSTOM PAINTED TOPWATER BAITS

view collection

During the month of July, you'll find special pricing on unique custom painted topwater baits. Every week, we'll feature a different style of topwater bait, each of which has it's own unique way of enticing bass to strike, resulting in that heart-racing explosion on the surface you've been waiting for all year long:

Week 1 (7/4 - 7/10 ) "Dog  Walkers" - Their side-to-side "walk the dog" action entices bass to hit hard!

Week 2 (7/11 - 7/17) "Poppers" - Just a twitch of the rod tip is all you need to make that irresistible POP! that drives bass crazy!

Week 3 (7/18 - 7/24) "Wakebaits" - Their erratic motion just below the surface is perfect for overcast or slightly windy conditions. 

Week 4 (7/25 - 7/31) "Prop Baits" - Everyone knows how that chopping and churning generated by these baits can result in extremely aggressive hits.

Stop back each week and see what we have in store for you!
