Handmade / Small batch

Made by hand.Built for the water.

Made slowly. Tested often.

Every Koshmi lure starts as a piece of material and ends as a lure that has been shaped, painted, assembled and tested by hand.

I don't produce thousands of identical lures. Each model is made in small batches, with attention to its action, finish and details.

02 — The process

Six steps.All by hand.

From a piece of raw material to a lure that has caught fish. Nothing leaves the workshop without going through every step.

Shape

Each lure begins with carefully shaping the body.

About Koshmi

Workbench: a painted lure body beside the foil sheet, eye decals and a craft knife

Small batches. Handmade from start to finish.

Koshmi Lures is an independent project. I make every lure myself, from shaping the body to the last coat of finish, in a small workshop in Serbia.

I make small quantities, and each batch is a little different. When a model is ready, I take it fishing. If it doesn't work on the water, it doesn't leave the workshop.
