Hammer Custom Baits

Kashton with his first muskie! I took him out for a little bit between the storms on Saturday to scout for the pike. Within 10 minutes, he was hooked up. Unfortunately, the fish was NOT caught on Hammer Customs. But someone's first muskie is always special. It's like a gateway to a lifelong obsession! I'd love to see everyone's first muskies. Drop a comment or picture below, no matter what or how they were caught.

Sorry if I've been a little M.I.A. on social media thus of lately. I am still building baits and prepping for shows for next spring . Also trying to enjoy the summer as much as I possibly can ! As always I want to thank everyone who supports my passion of building baits and the continued support of hammer customs !

How many of you have been hit out in the cast/ripped while trolling and just suddenly gets off only to see a big ol tooth on your hook or stuck in your bait?

Pictured here is a shallow chain hammer by Hammer Custom Baits that got smacked at 4mph, down rod ripped for two head shakes then crickets. Tooth on the middle hook tells me that fish really wanted the bait but just wasn’t hooked well enough 🤷‍♂️ muskies doing musky things

Well I'm trying to do things a little different this year and instead of waiting untill november and waiting to build i decided to start earlier . Maybe this will be less stressful this year instead of cramming everything in until the last minute . See you at the Wisconsin Musky Expo next March! 2027
