I think NJ Tackle sells kits....

In my opinion (and its just my opinion) I think an established custom builder would have to be out of his mind to do it and I don't think you will see it from most of the premier builders. Even Pradco (Bombers) won't sell unfinished plugs. I also think that if they did, it would not be too long before the cheapos would start complaining that the unfinished lure was priced too high.

Again, I'm not speaking for anyone but myself, but I think the finish is a big part of what makes the lure custom. Some people may do a good job of painting, but a lot of people would not. I don't think they would like to see pictures of their bodies floating around with blind man paint jobs. It would degrade the perception of the brand.
