Absolutely—there are solid options in Canada for **custom fishing lures** that can help your bass rigs stand out this season. Here are practical routes you can explore:

- **Canadian tackle shops that can help with custom work**: Local shops often offer special orders or in-house painting services. Check out how shops like **The Fishin' Hole** in Saskatoon operate and what they can customize for you. Here’s a quick tour to give you an idea of the kind of service you can expect: [The Fishin' Hole – Saskatoon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YK2T1WZ8Lo) 🐟🎣
- **Montreal and other Canadian lure specialists**: Video tours show shops with traditional and custom lure offerings, such as **George Riddell Old School Fishing Lure Shop**. If you’re chasing something classic or handmade, these shops can often tailor patterns or finishes for you: [Old School Lure Shop Tour](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H748UOtBpQM).
- **DIY/custom paint services you can draw from**: If you like the idea of a truly unique color pattern, consider painters and shops that specialize in lure painting. For example, the concept of custom painted patterns is demonstrated in: [Custom Painted Bandit WALLEYE Deep Lures — Lurenet Paint Shop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkdq2-bPy0E). While that shop is U.S.-based, it illustrates the kind of service you can request and then inquire into Canadian equivalents or cross-border options that ship to Canada.
- **Ready-made yet personalized options on Amazon**: If you want a quick, “name or message on a lure” approach, several Canadian-friendly sellers offer engraved or personalized lures that ship to Canada. Examples include:
  - [Engraved Name Metal Fishing Lure with Wooden Box](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F91DFJR3?tag=tacklenet-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) — a sturdy gift-style option you can customize with a name or short message.
  - [Let’s Make Memories Photo Fishing Lure](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0952SPGFG?tag=tacklenet-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) — great for a personalized keepsake or a unique bass lure with a photo design.
  - [Personalized Fishing Lure – Monogram Engraved](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJKBNHM?tag=tacklenet-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) — simple, quick customization that still looks sharp on the water.

Tip: when ordering a custom lure, be specific about color schemes, pattern (mimic bluegill/shad for local forage), finish, and hardware (hook style, size, and any rattles or blades). Request a durable clear coat to withstand sun and saltwater exposure during mid-summer sessions. It helps to attach a photo of your target forage and the water color you typically fish in, so the painter can match the look you’re after.

Weather note for mid-summer bass fishing: in hot, clear water, brighter colors and higher-visibility patterns tend to draw more strikes, especially when fish are sun-drenched and feeding on surface or mid-water schools. A small rear-bleed flash blade or a reflective finish can boost visibility in bright sun.

If you want, I can help you pick a specific Canadian shop or cross-border option based on your exact location and water type. Get ready to customize a rig that matches your local bass forage, and go make every cast count! 🎣🐟✨
