Can a factory make a custom minnow to my own design?
Short answer
Yes, and the design has to arrive as the six fields rather than as a drawing alone: body length and profile, section count, diving depth and lip, weight-transfer system, finish and hardware.
In detail
A drawing fixes the silhouette but leaves depth, weighting and hardware open, which is why two factories can quote the same picture at very different prices.
