Traditional Warm Water Skin Mounts – $10.00/inch one side, $20.00/inch both sides (Walleye, Pike, Musky, Bass, Panfish) Original skin, head, and fins are used. Optional cast head and fins are available and highly recommended for extra realism. For this service, add an additional $5.00/inch.
Traditional Cold Water Skin Mounts – $12.00/inch one side, $20.00/ inch both sides (Salmon, Trout, Striped Bass, Grayling, and some rough fish) A cast head comes standard for this type of mount. Cast fins are available and highly recommended for extra realism. The original fins can shrink to up to half their size on these species. We do offer keeping the original fins on the fish but strongly recommend the cast fins. For this service, add an additional $3.00/inch. Custom Casting – $12.00-$16.00/inch (To have the fish mounted on a pedestal, add an additional $8.00/inch.) This is hands-down the best mount you can get today. This is when you send or bring us your fish and we make a mold and cast of your exact fish. All proportions and anatomy exactly match your fish. Every detail possible is preserved from your fish. This is your fish. You do not get someone else’s fish. The fish is painted to match your exact trophy to meticulous detail. There simply is no better option! Cast Heads – A cast head added to your skin mount will greatly improve your overall outcome of your fish mount. Fish heads shrink quite a bit during the drying process and end up drying out of proportion. Our cast heads have every detail that your fish head had when it was originally caught: complete mouth detail, teeth, gills, and many other features that make this procedure highly recommended. Replicas – $14.00-$16.00/inch (To have the fish mounted on a pedestal, add an additional $6.00-$8.00/inch depending upon the species.) Only the best products are used for our replicas. We have hundreds of molds of our own and our inventory is constantly growing. If we don’t have it, we will order it from one of our top quality distributors. We can assure you that you will get one of the most realistic replicas that you can get. It takes a special kind of artist to paint a replica because you start with a completely white surface. Many replicas you see today just look fake. But time and time again, people are amazed at how our replicas actually look like fresh caught fish and not a quickly painted toy fish.
