homemade fishing lures

[mainbutter]

The action for a first-time wood lure is better than I expected.. I was aiming for anything better than the lure exploding into 1000 splinters as soon it hit the water lol..

I'm going to cheat and put a plastic lip on the lure to give it a wider wobble, right now the first two joint's dont swim as much as I was hoping, but the tail has a nice tight oscillation.

I'm already working on another wooden lure, which if things go as planned should get a very sexy slow S-shaped swimming action.

Hope you coated, so it doesn't absorb all the water.

it has a base coat and top coat of slightly thinned devcon 2 ton epoxy

Yep, you're good then. Go fishing and let us know how it works.

Nice. I like it alot. I think I could get into doing that too, but I only really fish for flathead catfish, but I guess I could make some luers for catching the bluegill bait I use.

Nice job! yeah a band saw will deffinatley cut it faster lol. be careful tho -- Saftey first! lol... seriously though. The paint job looks good too. I have a cheap airbrush but ive never used it... Dont have the right stuff to hook it up to a compressor.

that's pretty nice looking! I do a bit of amateur fly tying myself, its really gratifying when your hard work catches fish.
