IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM.
Kuba Stan – My Dream of being able to stock my lures the same ways as I used to when
tying flies – just by making them. Exactly what I want and how I wanted
them. No more waiting for the product availability in the shop, no more
choosing from few colours that I could get. Custom colours available,
with only my imagination being the limiting factor.
I’m very lucky to have had angling as my major occupation for the last
dozen years.
Started with a flyfishing magazine, flytying, freelance writing and
photography for few magazines, running a successful guiding
operation on the Straits of Gibraltar – all were instrumental in building
my knowledge and slowly led me towards the PIRATE LURES dream
Previous industry experience in plastic monomers, pharmaceutical
testing and manufacturing were a great help too, as well as chemistry
and biology background. Experience in the publishing industry, with
colour mixing, photography and editing – it all helped the creation of
amazing lure colours, understanding the required lure characteristics
and the angler’s needs.
2022 – Post Brexit left it very difficult to get lures to anglers within the UK especially, so the decision was made to move Pirate Lures to England. Drake House Lures, have merged with Pirate Lures , and have taken over the production .Pirate Lures U.K was created, and the lures are now manufactured in Devon.
HANDCRAFTED
All our lures are 100% hand made. No large scale injectors, no made in
China packed in EU stuff. Each lure is made in Devon , using 100% EU
materials.
