Mike's Custom Plugs

Salt Water and Fresh Water Fishing Lures. The best online source for custom wood hand turned salt/fresh water fishing plugs/lures.

I have raffle tickets available for my club's annual fundraiser. This year it includes an assortment of 12 of my plugs (see picture above) as well as contributions from Al Gag, Bill Hurley, Nuno Esteves Custom Rods, and a Cape Charter with Northeast Charters! Email or message me for details! Deadline is mid-March and the drawing will be Apr 7th. Don't miss out because the number of tickets is limited. I will be at the Springfield Sportsmans Show (at the Big E fairground) on Feb 21. 22, 23 selling tickets and talking fishing/plugs at the Pioneer Valley Boat and Surf Club booth. Stop by and say Hi- Thanks in advance for your support!

All fishing tackle is subject to federal excise tax (which is not a state sales tax). This excise tax encompasses almost every aspect of our sport from rods to reels to lures. Lures in particular are subject to 10%. Some builders separate the excise tax and tack it onto the price while others build it into the cost (like I do).

All federal excise taxes associated with the Sport Fish Restoration Act that are collected are redistributed to the 50 states based upon their land area and license sales to anglers and hunters. These funds are then used by the states for fisheries and wildlife management as well as land acquisition that benefits the non-hunting population as well.
