Regulator, I believe u can send them baits and they will paint for u.

They also sell on ebay, or at least they did last spring time. I look forward to picking some up myself
The little red rocket! It's all the boat I need ;)

Best way to contact them is thru Facebook. Hunter Boys Outdoors Jack Hunter. The Magnets are his stock bait that he sells direct. Last season he sent me 4 dozen that I sold for him locally. They are custom painters so he will paint for you what ever you would like.
They are painters not bait fixers. Meaning if you send old beat up baits they do not sand down and add more man hours to their paint work.
If you have baits in good condition but just need a good color scheme painted on to make them fish killers,,,,, then that's what they do.
They do stock and sell new in box in box rapalas in j-9s-11's, and j-13's that on order they can paint for you with the additional cost of the new bait plus their custom paint work. If you do send some baits, just strip off the hooks and split rings,send the bodies. If you have a color scheme that you feel you would like to try on another type of bait, send the one you would like to have copied, and you will get an exact copy of what you sent painted onto your other baits. Hunter Boys Outdoors on Face Book tell them your a Southender.. Hunter Boys are also on Ebay and soon will be stocking up for their annual ebay sales they do as auctions. Their big money makers are for the Bass Anglers. They are doing custom wood baits they make themselves,and all are tank tested for proper tuning action before receiving a custom paint job.

Years ago I asked him to start painting for us Salmon fellas,, and he has continued yearly now. There was also a great article written on Hunter Boys and some of their custom glow J-13's In Great Lakes Angler Aug/Sept issue 2015.
Pictured are a couple of glows they did for me.
That walleye came on the last pictured Glow J-13 and was taken by Mike Matthews at night trolling on the Donna Marie. What a surprise when we were looking for a late stageing King. I hope one of the moderators can please turn that picture for me.

Wow Dave looks really good!!!!!

Hunter Boys Bass Magnet was bought out many years ago by Bill Norman Lure Company. Rapala bought out Storm. They were in the same time period when the big boys were buying out the smaller ones.
