Inside the new Ranko lure factory

Lure bodies and hardware start as molten zinc and lead poured into molds cut in our own tool room. Every cavity is checked against the master before a run begins.

Flash and parting lines are ground away under extraction hoods, then surfaces are polished until the body is smooth enough to take paint evenly.

Bodies are sprayed in ventilated booths, layer by layer, to hit the pattern on the approved sample. Airflow is pulled through ducting above the booth so overspray never settles on a wet part.

Freshly painted and plated parts go onto steel racks and move down a dedicated aisle to cure. Racks are labelled by order so a batch is never mixed with another.

Hooks, split rings, blades and skirts are rigged by hand at long benches, with components sorted into trays beside each station so nothing is picked from the wrong bin.

Finished lures are sorted by colour and size, counted into trays, and packed to the carton spec agreed for your order. The last person to touch the product is checking it.
