Local Builders

Here are a some very fine gliders that are hand built by a local builder, I call him local but he is a couple hundred miles from me. His lures are called Ben-E-Baits. He takes a lot of pride in his work and makes as much of them as possible himself. Even the hook hangers are custom, they are not screw eyes, they are made from cotter pins and are super strong. This is but a small sample of the designs he has built. He doesn't make very many now days so I feel very lucky to have had him make these for me before he stopped making them.
They work every bit as good as they look.
