Crazy Capt. G here.
There is nothing more satisfying than catching a fish on a lure that your make by yourself.  Add a custom rod that your made to the mix, and the experience becomes stupid good.
I have been making lures since I was ten,  and 35 years later, while not very good at it, I can still fool  a fish now and then.
 
I started pouring plastic worms and grubs in the 70's, and then moved on to carving balsa lures, and even making some marlin lures.

For 15 years here in Japan I sold lures that I made, designed, or collaborated on.
Although I no longer sell them, I still enjoy making my own lures.
Here are pics of a few that I have "done".

The bottom pic is indeed "real"--it is a double of modest sized largemouth bass taken on a lure that I designed, by my buddy Dave.   His PB, and 2nd PB bass, over 19 pounds worth, taken on a single cast!
I get about two doubles per year on the big trout baits I fish, but none this large.

Captain
I have seen some of your lures up close and even fingered them. They not only look like they would catch a fish, they feel like a fish. Of course the ones I saw were a little to large for sea trout.

Too big for Texas Specs (I have caught sea trout/weakfish, are they the same?)--how is that even possible?
Everything is BIGGER in Texas.

Terry, I feel bad I only had time to pour you and Silvia a few swimmies...Next time send her a package, I will include a few more (BIG) lures for you to try...
