Zoom Bait Company WEC Crankbaits--Mint Condition in box 2006

Own a piece of crankbait history! These are super hard to find early model production year Zoom crankbaits that were made from 2005-2007. For those that are new to these crankbaits, WEC was a division of Zoom Baits. Zoom Baits founder and owner, the late Ed Chambers, was the chief lure designer at WEC and a true craftsman. Each Zoom crankbait is hand signed on the bill with a small engraving of Ed's initials and the year they were made.

WEC balsa baits were designed and built with a passion for creating exceptional balsa baits. Only a few thousand were made each year--and became famous with several notable tournament wins. Ed didn't take any shortcuts. No rough wood, no spotty finishes on these cranks. Each bait went through a painstaking process and was handcrafted one-at-a-time going through an incredible 58 individual steps for one purpose--to catch fish.

These are some of the most durable finishes that you find on a balsa bait. WEC Crankbaits are a must for the crankbait collector.
