Chris Barela

Chris Barela’s love for the water has been life long. Growing up at the beach and becoming a pro surfer allowed Chris to travel the world. At the peak of Chris’s surfing career he had made it into the finals at the Banzai Pipeline Masters.

 

Having traveled the world’s oceans Chris retired from professional surfing however, he still wanted to stay connected to the ocean. That connection to the ocean inspired Barela to create his first line of bronze sculptures, an amazingly life like collection of big game fish.

​

Being an avid fisherman and experienced waterman, it was a natural evolution to create lures. Being a marine life sculptor made it possible . Having provided  trophies to the worlds largest fishing tournaments was the inspiration to provide anglers with the best fishing lures in the world. The life like features and custom colors have been achieved from decades of research and successful applications. 

​

Barela is excited to share his lures with you in hopes you get what your going for!
