Returns: Damage from fishing, ie rocks, bluefish, etc is considered normal wear and tear and not a defect. As our lures are hand-made there can be minor imperfections, grain, etc that does not affect their use-ability and adds to the character of the lure. We very closely inspect every lure and any that don't meet our quality control are marked as a blem or marked up as a mackerel back lure to distinguish it from first class product. Any kits that don't meet our quality control standards are discarded or sold by the box on our lure forum. Blemished lures are sold from time to time and they are minor paint blems or slight misdrills etc, these lures are sold as is without any warranty implied...and the price reflects this. We sell blemishes only when available and at shows. Online pictorials are guides for kit assembly only. We reserve the right to make changes to any of our lures without notice. Submission of an order is an acknowledgement of the receipt and acceptance of our terms and conditions. A link to these sales policies is posted at the bottom of every page of the cart.

Sportfishing Excise Tax All items under 150lb test are subject to the Federal sportfishing excise tax. Items which are exempt such as wood squares and other misc items on the site are not subject to the excise tax. If you are excise tax exempt (form 637) we need a copy of this form filled out and emailed or faxed to us with your order: Excise Exemption Certificate Some people don't understand what the excise tax is...it is administered by the IRS for the purpose of raising money for your local state fish & wildlife programs. It funds access, stocking programs, enforcement, kids programs etc. Unfortunately there's many who skirt the tax operating out of their basements and garages and it hurts all fishermen. As a legal US manufacturer of fishing tackle we are required to collect and pay this tax on every item we sell that can embellish, increase the effectiveness of, improve the durability or appearance of any lure whether it has hooks or not, or is normally a product used in fishing. We break the tax out from each item to show it as a separate line item. Excise tax is paid on the constructive sales price of each item. Monies collected are given to your states F&W funds by the IRS and cannot be used for general state business.
