10% Goes Towards Taking Veterans Hunting and Fishing
We are fortunate enough here at Sledge Outfitters to have been able to guide hunting and fishing trips for returning veterans. This is something that is really special to us! the truth is the different foundations don't have enough founding to support all the veterans that should be able to go on hunting and fishing trips. Sledge Outfitters has decided to dedicate funds to this cause and give the opportunity for you to partner with us as we respect those who have fought for our freedoms and gift them with hunting and fishing trips. With each lure you buy from Locals Only Lures 10% proceeds go towards taking veterans hunting and fishing! How cool is that!

Locals Only Lure King Salmon
The first lure launched is a king salmon Lure specifically for Alaska. We like to call this baby the Record Setter. This lure highlights Evan Sledge who is a fishing guide for king salmon on the Kenai and Kasilof River. Evan said, "it's a no brainer, I have a lure I assemble called Record Setter. Record Setter has been my most producing king salmon setup year after year. It doesn't matter if it's the first or second run of salmon, I will always have a record setter out there. 

Packaging
No more pointless descriptions and directions we have seen out of lure manufactures to this point. Locals Only Lures give clear and easy directions along with pictures to be sure you are using the lure correctly in under 5 minutes. Locals Only Lures also will tell you very clearly what species this lure targets and what waters it has been guide proven to work. Also, you can visit sledgeoutfitters.com to watch videos of the sponsored guide giving direction on how to assemble and use your lure.
