Banks Custom Cranks; Fishing Lures from Rogersville

Andy Banks has turned a life-long love of fishing into a lucrative business. Andy started Banks Custom Cranks about seven months ago, and his products are selling well with no sign of slowing down. Andy is a detective with the Rogersville Police Department. He has lived most of his life in Hawkins County. He remembered “my papaw got me started fishing when I was six or seven years old. It kind of stuck! I started fishing in a little pond behind my “Papaw Pete’s” house in Mohawk.” Fast forward to 2026; Andy’s boat broke down and he started painting lures to “have something to do.” “I had thought about painting lures for a while, but I didn’t think I was artistic,” he said. “I had never picked up an airbrush before.

Banks Custom Cranks are available locally at Onyx Salon, Caney Creek Market and Arrowhead Market. Andy has sold at Heritage Days and at the Fall Festival in Bulls Gap.

If you're in town visiting for Thanksgiving or a local wondering where to meet for "Drinksgiving," here are some Knoxville bars perfect for the occasion.
