Also works as a crankbait if you reel it in fast.

2 oz Spinnerbait bodies, #10 magnum blade, #8 Indiana blade and I believe a #8 hook that you can't see. All they need now are trailer hooks.

Wanted to share this one here ❤️ 16cm, 65grams

Just wondering if i can use water base spar urethane by varathane to seal a bait before i paint it

Decided to add a little extra onto the classic fire tiger scheme. Really love the neon blue with these colors!

I am rebuilding a bunch of old blue fox spinners and need to strip the paint off of the bodies. What’s the easiest way to do that? Before I was just torching them and burning the paint off but that takes far too long.

just started lure painting. These folks make great blanks: https://www.customlureonline.com/collections/jerkbait-blanks?page=2&phcursor=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzayI6InByb2R1Y3RfdGl0bGUiLCJzdiI6Ik0wNDAgSU1BIGlCT1JOIDExOEYgU2hhbGxvdyBMdXJlIEJsYW5rIiwiZCI6ImYiLCJ1aWQiOjM5NjMwMDAxNDA2MjY5LCJsIjoyNCwibyI6MCwiciI6IkNEUCIsInYiOjEsInAiOjJ9.07nA-n7xo7ZxhaBJEJEeVFWrMJ6Hnn8-WaYty0RropI&sort_by=title-ascending

Here's the video of my entire process including catching fish. This was a fun project. I walk through my process of downloading, 3D-printing, assembling, painting, clear-coating, and catching some fish with this whopper plopper-style top-water lure. I've 3D-printed plenty of crankbaits and soft plastic molds, but this is my first top-water attempt and this thing had no problem landing bass.

I'm still working on the fundamentals of lure building so I decided to make a batch of baits to get some repetition in.

Modeled after a Hula popper

Im making a batch of spoons, and im trying to find a place to buy teaser tabs, or those red fin shaped pieces of plastic placed on split rings with the spoons hook.

I have some red and yellow plastic on hand im gonna use to make my own, but I would prefer to find somewhere i could buy these, but none of the tackle stores I've checked out stock them. Anyone know a place to buy these?

Where do people buy their wood for lures? I picked up some 1/2" poplar from Medard's but it's not actually 1/2" (actually 7/16"). Anyone have a recommendation? In an area where we have Menards, Home Depot and Lowe's. I picked up some actual 1/2" bass wood from Hobby Lobby but it was a premium price.

Thanks for any help!

I'm going to invest in a lure turner so that my clear coat will finish smoothly. What's your guys easiest way to make one?

Made this thing, not sure if you’d rather to it as a buck tail or something else but it works like a charm!

I have the soft plastic made on Onshape and now that I look at it I am unsure whether or not the tail will "flutter" the way I want it to. Is there any way to check?? It is a grub style lure and its tail is 0.8mm thick and it looks fairly thick but other models I've found online are even thicker so I am stuck on the size. Many people say that trial and error is the best way to test but I would obviously love to save myself some time if there are any ways. Thanks so much.

Forgot to add this is but are there any materials better than plastisol that I can us for something like this? Once I have the mold made I was just going to use plastisol but that stuff is fairly thick isn't it? Thanks again!

Has anyone made a lure like the Paul Brown corky??

I loved corkies on the bay, but now I'm bass fishing almost exclusively. They'll definitely hit the corkies I have, but I'd like to make/have a smaller version.

Before I start down a path of misadventure, I figured I'd ask if this was even possible

Just woke up thinking, i should make lures, but dont know what to do, well i did do some research and most of em have big machines and stuff like that, but im too broke to buy that so i decided to just go do the harder way (which i think is more fun and rewarding) by just carving them out. Any tips and stuff i need to know? Ill do some more research so i get as much knowledge as i need. Thanks guys!

Hey everyone. I'm still new to powder painting and I'm getting inconsistent results. I want really saturated, bright colours but after curing the paint coating is really thin on top and it dripped down. I can see the lead through the paint like it thinned out and ran down during curing. Second pic is some booby jigs from another batch that hung by their hooks. You can see how thin the paint is in some spots, but it needs that thicker coating to get that vibrant colour

Now I'm wondering, is this a problem with:

A) too much paint. B) temp too low or too high when dipping C) curing process mistake (325-350f for 25min)

Or maybe a mixture of things. I'm wondering what you guys look for when dipping your jigs

I had two ideas for soft plastics but then I ran out of ideas. I just want plastics that will work for any type of fish in QLD Australia that you chose. I made a bream lure in CAD that I like the look of and I have another idea for something prawn like but after that I'm lost. If you want to make a lure for bream, Jack's, flatties or any other fish in QLD just send me a PM and if I like your idea I'd be happy to compensate. Whether it be in money or in a couple of the plastics. Thanks so much. Also if you have any tips that I may find useful in my goal of making my own plastics please let me know. Thanks so much!

They aren't cleared yet, pretty happy how they turned out.
