I have to disagree with some of the previous statements. unpaintedlures.com are the best blanks I have ever used. As good as the originals they are copying in my opinion. I have talked with the owner and the company they use to make their blanks sells to japanese companies. Their baits are only sold on their website (unpaintedlures.com), not to anyone else and they hold the rights to the molds as they paid to have them manufactured. Now I have also purchased blanks from some of the other well known websites and I can say the quality of those are not as good as unpaintedlures.com
