About Us

Welcome,

I am James “Bobcat” Long, owner of Bobcat Bumpkin Custom Lures. We are a family owned and operated lure making company that specializes in building jigs, night-time spinnerbaits, shakey heads, swimbait heads, swing heads, underspins and lure knockers. We have been creating custom jigs since 2006, but did not start our company until 2011. We wanted to know that we had one of the best custom jigs on the market before we opened our company to the public, and it was proven time and time again that our jigs could compete with any others out there. We build all of our products from the ground up; pouring, painting, and hand tying every individual jig which gives us the ability to customize any order to your specific needs. We take pride in every single item we build. Our customers are the most important part of our company and we do our best to satisfy each and every one.

I started building jigs for myself, family, and friends because the durability, action, and prices of most manufactured jigs were unacceptable. Being someone that carries dozens of jigs in my tackle box at all times, I wanted to know that when I picked one up, the skirt would still be on the jig and not laying in the bottom of my box. I have always felt that there is no substitute for a hand tied jig. Not only is the skirt guaranteed to stay in place, but the action is unmatched by a jig with a rubber collar.

We also try to keep our prices as low as possible, but still offer top of the line products. I have tried multiple hooks in our jigs and shakey heads, but when it comes to pure strength, sharpness, and durability, it has been proven Gamakatsu and Mustad hooks are unmatched. We use Gamakatsu hooks in all of our jigs, spinnerbaits, shakey heads, and swing heads. We use a razor sharp Mustad Flipping Hook in our swimbait heads and underspins. All hooks are black Nickel plated to limit rusting and dulling. Most of our products also feature over sized hooks that allow for a higher hook-up ratio and less lost fish.

I want to thank everyone in advance for you business. Without you we would not be the company we are today.
