A: Every lure is built by hand in Sooke, British Columbia—not mass-produced on an assembly line. Each design starts with one goal: create a lure that anglers can trust when the bite matters most.
From heavy-gauge brass and premium VMC hooks to durable powder-coated finishes and holographic foil patterns, every component is chosen for performance and longevity. Each lure is individually assembled, inspected, and tested to ensure it meets the same standard we'd fish ourselves.
We're constantly refining our designs based on real-world feedback from anglers, guides, and members of The Crew. That means every generation of lure benefits from time on the water—not just time behind a computer.
We're not trying to make the cheapest lure on the shelf. We're building dependable fishing tools that are made by fishermen, not factories.
-
A: We build a growing lineup of handcrafted fishing lures designed for West Coast salmon and steelhead. Our current selection includes trolling spoons, in-line spinners, twitching jigs, and jig heads.
Every lure is built in small batches using premium components and proven finishes, with new colours, patterns, and limited releases introduced throughout the year. As we continue to grow, our goal is simple: develop dependable fishing tools that anglers can rely on, whether they're casting from shore, trolling from a boat, or fishing the river.
-
A: Absolutely. Every Wedding Zinger lure is handcrafted in Sooke, British Columbia, from start to finish. From preparing and finishing components to painting, assembly, and final inspection, each lure is built one at a time—not mass-produced.
Building in small batches allows us to maintain strict quality control and continually improve our designs based on real-world fishing experience and angler feedback. Before any lure reaches your tackle box, it has been assembled, inspected, and held to the same standard we'd expect for our own gear.
It's a slower process than factory production, but we believe that's how better fishing tools are made.
-
A: We believe a lure is only as good as the materials it's built from. That's why we use premium components throughout our lineup, including genuine VMC hooks, heavy-gauge brass bodies and blades, durable powder-coated finishes, holographic foil finishes on select models, stainless steel wire, quality swivels, and heavy-duty split rings.
Every material is chosen for a reason—whether it's improving durability, resisting corrosion, or increasing fish-catching performance. We don't cut corners on the parts you can't see, because those are often the ones that matter most when you're fighting a fish.
As our products continue to evolve, we're always testing new materials and manufacturing techniques to build stronger, more effective lures without compromising quality.
-
A: While many of our lures will catch a variety of predatory fish, they're specifically designed and tested for West Coast salmon and steelhead. Every design is developed with the techniques, conditions, and species found on the Pacific coast in mind.
That said, fish don't read the packaging. Anglers have successfully used similar lure styles to catch trout, char, pike, walleye, bass, and other aggressive game fish wherever they feed on baitfish.
If you're unsure which lure is best for the species or fishery you're targeting, get in touch. We're always happy to help you choose the right option for your next trip.
-
A: Absolutely. Our lures are designed with saltwater fishing in mind and are built using quality, corrosion-resistant components suitable for the demanding conditions of the Pacific coast.
Like any premium fishing tackle, a quick rinse with fresh water after each trip will help remove salt and debris, extend the life of your hardware and finish, and keep your lure performing at its best for seasons to come.
Whether you're trolling offshore, casting from shore, or fishing the river mouth, our lures are built to handle the job.
-
A: At this time, we don't offer custom lure builds or one-off colour requests. Our focus is on refining and producing proven designs that anglers can count on.
That said, we're always experimenting. Throughout the year, we release limited-run colours, prototype finishes, and small-batch designs that may only be available once. These releases often sell out quickly and are first announced to our email subscribers and social media followers.
If you have an idea for a new colour, pattern, or product, we'd still love to hear it. Customer feedback plays a big role in the future of The Wedding Zinger, and many of our best ideas have come from conversations with fellow anglers.
-
A: Proper care will help keep your lures performing and looking their best for years to come.
Rinse your lures with fresh water after every saltwater trip to remove salt and debris.
Dry them thoroughly before putting them away to help prevent corrosion and protect the finish.
Store them in a tackle box or lure wrap where hooks and finishes won't rub against one another.
Inspect hooks, split rings, and swivels periodically, replacing any worn or damaged components before your next trip.
A few minutes of maintenance after each outing goes a long way toward extending the life of your tackle and ensuring it's ready when the next fish bites.
-
A: Yes! We offer bulk ordering for retailers, tackle shops, fishing guides, charter operators, fishing clubs, tournaments, and other organizations.
Whether you're looking to stock your shelves, outfit your clients, or place a larger order for an event, we'd be happy to discuss your needs. We can provide pricing based on order size and help you select the products that best fit your fishery.
If you're interested in a bulk or wholesale order, send us an email at TheWeddingZinger@gmail.com, and we'll be happy to discuss your requirements.
-
A: The right setup depends on the species you're targeting, the water you're fishing, and your preferred technique. There is no single "perfect" rod and reel combination for every situation.
For salmon and steelhead applications, I personally prefer a longer spinning rod in the 9'6"–10'6" range with a medium to medium-light/medium-fast action, paired with a quality 3000–4000 size spinning reel. A setup like this provides a good balance of casting distance, sensitivity, and control when fishing spoons, spinners, and jigs.
For line, braided main line with a quality fluorocarbon or monofilament leader is a proven choice for many West Coast anglers.
The most important thing is matching your setup to your fishery and technique. If you're unsure what will work best for your style of fishing, feel free to reach out—we're always happy to share what has worked for us on the water.
