(all soft plastics, have not used any of his hard baits) Paul made up several custom "A-Jay Patterns" for me in Craws, Chatterbait trailers, swimbaits & drop shot baits. Custom work almost always comes at a premium cost. The choice to go that route is a personal one. These are not overly durable products. If that is a priority, his baits may not be your cup of tea. His baits are all are super soft, have GREAT Action and take care of my biggest priority ~ They catch fish. A-Jay 1 Quote

A-Jay I have no problem paying for custom painted work. I have dozens of custom painted cranks from about 7-8 different guys who I know either personally or from online. I also have quite a few soft plastics from Doyles Custom Baits, which I have been very impressed by. I guess I've always shy'd away from Krew's stuff because he's significantly even more money than most of the custom painters/pourers that I have experienced elsewhere. But it's good to hear your recommendation, which I value. Perhaps I'll have to try out some of his stuff and see for myself. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 19, 2016 Super User Posted September 19, 2016 PK has a modest minimum order for custom color runs which makes it nice. When I come up with a color or pattern I want to try, I don't have to purchase 100 or 200 baits to see if I like it or if it works. In my world, I want Soft, Soft plastics - these are definitely that - one reason I keep going back. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted September 19, 2016 Super User Posted September 19, 2016 Custom hand pours and hand injection molded soft plastics have been a way of life out west for a few decades and most are closely guarded secrets with tournament anglers. Tom Quote
