Fourth River Fishing makes bass fishing lures in Pittsburgh.

Fourth River lures are made in small batches in a garage on the east end of Pittsburgh. We design our baits to target smallmouth bass in the rivers of western Pennsylvania.

Our lures use a bismuth-based alloy instead of lead to try and keep our local water a little cleaner. Our soft plastic lures are first hand-designed with clay, then poured in homemade silicone molds.

The resulting lures are bespoke pieces with imperfections and lots of character. Don’t worry, they still catch fish.

Our baits are available seasonally and in small quantities. This approach allows us to regularly experiment with colors and designs. Follow Fourth River Fishing on Instagram to keep up with the latest lures.
