Say Hello to “One-Time.”
The Wedding Zinger’s take on a classic spoon pattern — the Cop Car.
But I couldn’t just make a black and white spoon. That’s way too boring.
The Wedding Zinger’s take on the classic Cop Car spoon.
The Cop Car has been a staple salmon pattern for years, built around a simple black-and-white colour combination that mimics the look of a herring. I liked the idea, but I wasn’t interested in just making another black-and-white spoon.
One-Time takes that same basic idea and puts a Wedding Zinger spin on it.
The black is gone, replaced with a transparent grey carrying subtle green undertones. Over the holographic scale finish, the result is a translucent, natural-looking baitfish pattern with plenty of depth and flash — a little more interesting than the original without losing what makes the Cop Car work in the first place.
Built on a 3.25" salmon trolling spoon, with a .050" nickel-plated brass blank, 4/0 VMC Permasteel Siwash hook, 110 lb split rings, and a 110 lb ball-bearing swivel. Finished by hand in Sooke, BC.
Made by fishermen, not factories.
Built on the West Coast.
Designed by Fishermen.
Made to Last.
At The Wedding Zinger, I believe fishing gear should be built with the same passion and attention to detail that goes into the pursuit itself.
Born on the shores of Sooke, British Columbia, my handcrafted lures are designed for the challenging coastal waters we call home. Every lure is built with a purpose: to cast farther, fish harder, and withstand the conditions that West Coast anglers face chasing Coho and Chinook salmon, and other prized species.
Built for Seasons — Not Just the First Trip
A great lure should be more than something that catches fish once. It should be something you trust season after season.
That belief and your feedback drives every design decision I make. From selecting quality components to testing finishes, materials, and construction methods, I focus on creating lures that are built to handle real fishing conditions — the rocks, the saltwater, the current, and the battles that put gear to the test.
Made by Fishermen, Not Factories
We aren’t interested in making another mass-produced lure that looks good on a shelf. We build fishing tools meant to be tied on, cast, and trusted.
Every Wedding Zinger lure is carefully designed, tested, and refined using quality components and proven materials. From the first prototype to the final product, my focus is simple — create reliable gear that gives anglers confidence when the moment matters most.
Innovation Through Experience
Great fishing gear comes from time on the water. Every design decision starts with real fishing experience and a desire to solve problems anglers actually face.
Whether it’s improving casting performance, increasing durability, creating better action, or developing new techniques and finishes, I am constantly pushing my designs forward. I don’t believe in settling for "good enough."
Built for the Adventure Ahead
The Wedding Zinger represents more than just a lure. It represents the pursuit of better — better designs, better craftsmanship, and better experiences on the water.
From rocky shorelines and riverbanks to open coastal waters, my goal is to create gear you can depend on season after season.
Proudly handcrafted in Sooke, BC, Canada.
