Normally, I’d sign off with “Tight Lines!”—but today feels a little different.

Today is the official launch of The Lure Bench.

This is something I’ve been building for a while, and it’s finally time to put it out there.

The Lure Bench (TLB) is my way of helping fellow bait makers—whether you’re just getting started at the kitchen table or already selling your work.

This won’t just be a blog. It’s going to grow into a full platform:
– A newsletter
– A podcast
– And a place to learn the business side of lure making

We’ll cover where to source components, what the “big guys” are doing, and feature conversations with independent bait makers and industry pros who are actually in the trenches.

If that sounds like your lane, keep an eye out.

The podcast launches April 30, 2026—so check your favorite platform and follow along.

And next time… we’ll get back to “Tight Lines.”
