About Us

Van Dutch Fishing is a family-run lure painting business in Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2023, we bring over 12 years of experience to crafting custom painted Ripplin’ Redfins, trolling spoons, and pike & musky lures. Every bait is hand-painted with premium paints, durable epoxy clear coats, and built to catch fish — not just look good.

 

At Van Dutch Fishing, custom lure painting isn’t just a business — it’s a passion built on more than 12 years of hands-on experience and a love of fishing.

Founded in 2023 and based in Ontario, Canada, our family-run shop specializes in custom painted fishing lures, including Ripplin’ Redfins, trolling spoons, and pike and musky lures. Every lure is hand-painted with premium paints, quality components, and durable epoxy clear coats to ensure it performs as well as it looks.

For us, fishing tackle is more than a hobby — it’s a lifestyle. Each lure is crafted to look great in your tackle box and to perform where it matters most: on the water. From Lake Erie walleye spoons to oversized musky baits, every design is tested, refined, and proven to catch fish.

The name Van Dutch comes from a nickname I was given years ago, and it’s now the name I go by on social media and in the shop — a simple way to connect personally with other anglers and fellow lure enthusiasts.

As a family-owned business, we take pride in the personal touch of small-batch craftsmanship. Every lure is painted by Van Dutch himself, backed by the care and dedication of our family.

🎣 Hand-painted in Ontario. Built for anglers everywhere.
