Small independently ran companies?

Our area is a very interesting when it comes to bass fishing, it is very different than other places in the country. Every place around the country has its small bait makers custom painters, but you never hear about them without some digging....

What are our local small independently ran companies or custom crank bait painters? Most of these companies are ran out of a garage with just enough money to put back into production and not into advertising, so we just don't hear about them. I need some help with this who are your favorite small companies from around the NW?

Here are the ones that I use like and their names of owner and company...

Sniper Lures....home of the snub, jfac craw, and Jrs magnum....Dan Johnson

Quick Drops.....home of the best drop shot sinkers on the market....Marc Marcantonio

Density Tackle...home of the Panic Minnow.....Brian Henderson

There are quite of few others....TW Swimmer, King Craw, Skull Fish, painters, lets hear them shout them out, but please consider who are site sponsors and who are not, so company names, and baits and why you like them, no links that take you off of WAFISH please!

Chatterbaits are extremely easy and cheap to make. I made myself some custom 1oz baits last year, but I didn't really get to try them out. You can get everything you need off lurepartsonline.com.

Ron I love supporting the local bait companies, but not a lot comes to mind that hasn't been said.  The company that makes the B2 Buzzbait is a good one, but I think they are based out of MO.  Mad Bass Baits is one I know makes some nice looking chatterbaits.  It's been on my list to order a few since I think I don't even own a chatterbait.

In the Tri-Cities, there is Kick-n-Bass Baits...?? Did I get that right? I've seen a truck rolling around town with a big sticker. I saw there stuff in Ranch and Home. Looked pretty good.

The repercussions of lead inhalation didn't justify the work. Therefore, we're out! I'll trade you the entire business for a beer!
