Alan Sumner invented the formula for a dye for soft plastic baits in the late 80’s-early 90’s. He marketed it locally. Alan and JJ met in about 1996. Alan told JJ about the product that he had invented, and that he wanted him to try the product. JJ tried the product and suggested that Alan add garlic oil to the product as a fish attractant.   Alan then brought the new formula to J.J. Polak for the dippin’ dye solution. The formula would allow the dye and scent to penetrate into the soft plastic bait. With both being avid weekend anglers, they saw an increase in the number of bites and duration of those bites. Alan and JJ wanted to share this product with all the bass anglers of the world. They gave bottles to friends and their results were just as remarkable. With this information Alan and JJ formed a company along with JJ’s two sons: Andy and Marty.

Alluring Baits opened in Lubbock,TX in May of 2004 and hit the ground running.  Their original goal was to offer HIGHER quality soft plastic baits at much LOWER prices and they have already achieved that. They started with just six different colors of four inch salty trick sticks (senko style) and have expanded from there to over 30 colors of salty trick sticks in various sizes. They are also proud of their newly added "SKRUBS" and 7" Hawg Sticks, that are slowly, but surely becoming some of their top producing plastics. They plan to expand their catalog with both new colors of their current (senko style) salty trick sticks and many more alluring soft plastics "at discount prices, of course". Undoubtedly, their early success is directly related to the quality of their plastic worms, but more importantly, the quality of their customer service.
