Rattlesnake Lures-Above and Beyond

So when Don Morse of Rattlesnake Custom Rods link and Killerkapz Lures link ask for some craft beer caps, little did I know it would lead to this.
The first caps he made for me were from two local brewery's here in Georgia. The next time I had a Red Solo cup full of craft beer caps, I had an idea. Little did I know, was that Don had a plan.
I sent Don some Naked Cat Brewery caps and a check for him to make lures to give away as gifts. What I have received in return is just out of this world.
The lures are beautiful in themselves, each cap folded in the exact center over the main lure shaft and made to perfection. But the real WOW came in the packaging. As you can see each one has MY logo on it and "A gift from" written above it. That was all Don's call and has just added to an already wonderful job.

So if you would love to have a fishing lure with a local brewery or your own cap to give as gifts or use yourself. I cannot stress enough contacting Don and support a fellow Borg member. You can contact him through the links above or a PM here. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Don

That's pretty awesome work to turn bottle caps into fishing lures! Were there supposed to be pics attached? I think this would be a cool gift to give my father in law.

THANK YOU Jeff and everyone else for the great comments!

I started making these about 2 years ago and have done over 2000 of them. I have sent them all over the world and get great feedback from them. I guess that 75% of them get put on a shelf as a novelty the other 25% of folks come back for more.

Louie...... I can do that!

Special thanks to Jeff (Inkleg) and Ryan (dirtracer) for the many boxes of caps!

Definitely top of the line quality lures. In regards to these inline spinner style lures, probably won't bother buying any from the store again. Working on another envelope of caps already.

Do you use chicken feathers in your lures? I have poop loads of black feathers flying around... LOL. Some of them have an emerald sheen to them and occasionally some copper/black feathers. I'm thinking the later would make some nice lures.
