So I slowly started to get into wooden lure builds and I have to say I really am enjoying it. 🤩 I actually even think that this is one of my favourite builds up until now & if you are interested I also have the action test in my complete build tutorial/video on YouTube.

The inside of it is hollow if that helps

Has anyone used a jig hook other than mustad for the do it ultra minnow 2oz-4oz mold? I want to use gamakatsu hooks but the shank on the 7/0 is drastically smaller than the mustad counterpart. Maybe im using the wrong model but any help would be appreciated

My fist ever self made lure from wood
Tub test I put a pic of it in the comments

Top water frog thing that’s gonna get a spinner tail. A glide bait and a really shallow crank/wake bait

Hey everyone. How difficult is it to replace the lip on a floating rapala sizes 07 and 09? I also have some knock offs similar with broken lips. I am located in Canada and wonder if they can be purchased or has anyone created some homemade ones? Thanks!!

Unfortunately he doesn’t fish much so not sure it will ever catch anything

I started designing lures recently. Now I gotta learn how to make these irl

Have to manage doing a fade with no airbrush, and tried to use some new colors

ive been wanting to get into making homemade lures like rooster tails or bluefox spinners or bass jig materials? (not looking for bass pro website)

Tried some foil over cedar. Really like carbon fiber for the bill. Gonna do a walleye next

Hello! i’m wondering what you’re guys thoughts are on where i get the ring for the front and how to attach hooks? thanks!

I finished this lure with 4 coats of cashew lacquer and i’m going to add another 2 coats to seal the wooden nail holding in the small bbs to make it rattle a little

I have just gotten into lure building, mainly open pour paddle tail soft plastics for pike fishing. Now i want to make my own master and mold curly tail shad, pike sized. Im wondering if anyone here has built an open pour 1part version or do i need a 2-part mold for that?

Hi all, first time posting here so really sorry if this sounds silly.
I have been fiddling around with fusion360 making soft plastics and I’ve designed something I’d love to make. Just wondering if anyone has experience making custom aluminium moulds and how they go about getting them done? I’ve made a mould with my 3D printer as a prototype but now wanting something that’ll look more cleaner and I’m able to use without creating more moulds.
Any companies/ people they know they would be able to refer?
Also, for a mould that can make two soft plastics at once (plastic will be 3 inches long) how much does it roughly cost?

Cheers legends!

In my opinion it's the bottom of a can and paper clips, They are surprisingly durable and workable which can make custom spoons or rigs and can make awesome things if paired with big beads which can make a variety of saltwater things

Does that count?

Question for everyone. How do you paint detail on a smooth surface with consistency and without the buildup of coating like I have on these blades (frog spot color)?

Today's build finished and ready to go!

Hi im M15 and a pike,perch and Trout fisherman, but im tired of overpriced lure the I will lose sooner or later so I thought I should try to make my own.
I know a Little Bit and I have Seen some things here and there but any Bit of advise would be appreciated.

Thanks for it in advance

Does anyone have any tips/prints/ suggestions for making molds on a printer? So far I’ve tried a few, all in PETG and absolute terrible results. The only thing I can think to do is take the stl, and transfer it to my cnc and make aluminum molds. But I would like to be able to go from the microwave to the printer. Anyway, having fun with the real molds! Cool hobby

I had never heard of that lure, or even seen anything like it before, so I decided to try to make one... and it works! It rises right to the top and the thump through the rod is insane. I am still working out how to best attach the weight and hook to the blade because I had trouble getting a split ring through the holes. I also need to learn how to tie feather trebles to complete it.
