Microbait

Patience,carved into wood.

Wooden fishing lures designed by anglers in a small workshop on the lakes of Mazury, Poland. Built to fish first — tested in the same waters we cast every weekend.

We fish these lakes ourselves. That's how the lures get made.

Microbait is a workshop whose owners turned their fishing passion into designing and building fishing lures. Each of our hand-made lures is tested on the water before it goes to the shop.

Three steps, no shortcuts.

From the first cut to the final cast, every lure passes through the same sequence — a few hours of work for an object the size of your fingernail.

Carving by hand

Carving by hand

Every lure is hand-made. The silhouette emerges from the wood as a result of careful work.

Painting in layers

Numerous translucent coats build the colourway, finished with a few layers of varnish that give the lure its depth of finish and durability.

Fished, then shipped

Fished, then shipped

No lure leaves the workshop untested. We adjust it by hand so it's ready to fish, straight out of the box.

Look closely at every brush finish.

Each colourway is built from eight to twelve translucent layers, painted wet-on-dry so the wood beneath stays visible at the right angle.

The finish is a hard varnish, made to avoid cracking in all weather conditions.

Body is armed with best-in-class VMC hooks.

Trusted by anglers, across waters.

What people send back from the boat — sometimes a photo, sometimes just a measurement and a quiet thanks.

Szczupak · 94 cm caught by Marek W.
Quiet, slow, deadly. The Okoń wobbles like a wounded fish — and this pike couldn’t refuse it.
Marek W. · Giżycko
Pstrąg · 62 cm caught by Tomasz K.
It feels wrong to call this a lure. I keep one on my desk between trips.

Six seasons of teeth marks and rocks, and somehow it looks better than day one.
