Ice House Lures (IHL)are made to look old and are carefully hand carved of native Wisconsin pine and each fish is fitted with metal fins and glass eyes by one of our own Swan Quarter carvers. After final hand sanding and detailing, Ice House Lures are hand painted using the finest taxidermy quality paints available. Then each fish is hand rubbed with IHL's special "Antiquing" solution giving the fish that special "Old Look" - just like the ones made years ago. The artist signs and dates their work and then they are packed in wooded cheese box and the label above is placed on the box. Many different species and displays are available.

Some of the carvers names are P. Terras, P. Lambert and R. Brandt, J. Braise (1988).

This is how the decoys are sent out - in a cheese type of box
