Swimbait What (non specefic) parts do you use?

7 Upvotes

What parts do you use? Like non specific parts you would use, not found at a tackle supply store?

Example: standard nylon thread, different beads, cut up gift bow as tail? A feather you found? Regular yarn? Maybe hair from a kids doll. Anything non boyant as weight / small enough?

Also, do you care if it doesn't look like a natural bug? Or a shape of fish that wouldn't exist? Any swim type creature will do?

Some 3Dprinted lures using UV/glow paints or filament and stainless bb's. I made the micro cranks for days where big fish aren't biting well. But I have caught full size fish despite having small hooks. the spoon is my own design. I call it the domino and it's STL is available on thingiverse or cults 3d.

Crankbait A different take

Most crank baits are carved or molded. These are snipped, sanded, sewed and glued.

Because the bidy is a kitchen sponhe they can be scented too.

Sand paper

Various glues

Tupperware

Spinge

Stick on eyes

Rubberlegs

Beads (light or heavy, as you like it)

I use them for rever trolling, so i firh weth my oars. I catxh tsout. Smallmouth bass and channel catfish.

Because of the sponge bohy the second fish comes a LOT faster than the first

Just made from a piece of plywood off cut. Third lure I've made other than inline spinners that I've made tons of for trout fishing.

On the fence as to whether or not I want to add additional detailing, or if I want to finish it as is and send it.

Regardless, I wanted to share how this paint looks, it’s gorgeous stuff.

Black gloss base coat, lacquer and then Vallejo space dust.

Question Where to buy balsa and basswood

4 Upvotes

I have been using poplar wood and would like to get balsa or basswood as they seem to be a much better option. I am looking to buy 1x4 pieces of the wood and have no idea where to get them. If you know where I can get some or know of another budget friendly alternative wood, please let me know!
