🐟 From Heart Surgery to Handcrafted Lures: The Story Behind Promo Fishing Lures Custom Fishing Gifts Made with Purpose in Cape Cod, MA

A Life Reset on the Water

In 2010, my life nearly ended. At just 43, I suffered a rare and often fatal aortic dissection. Thanks to fast EMTs in Carver, MA, and emergency open-heart surgery at Brigham and Women’s in Boston, I survived—but everything changed.

During recovery, while raising two young daughters, I turned to something familiar and calming: fishing.

But I didn’t just fish. I started airbrushing lures in my basement, using it as therapy. It was quiet, focused, and healing. Soon, I added names, dates, and engravings. What started as a hobby became a passion—and then, a business.
