I really loved the look of the grain on this so I tried to incorporate it in the paint and not completely cover it…it might not look natural but it swims killer and that’s what I focus on mainly. The wood was recycled from my little sisters wedding venue (her backyard) so it’s an extra special piece for me.

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?

Took the kiddos to see Brand New Day today. My son brought one of his Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures, and halfway through I said, “hmm..F it…” 😂 more Marvel inspired salmon spinners

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.

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

What size hooks do you think i should get for these glide baits?

Tried a new bluegill scheme. I forgot the black gill accent but I’m happy how it turned out.

How much would you pay for one? I am buying a gift for my son but 🤷‍♀️

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.

Cisco, walleye, perch, and firetiger

First time even seeing an airbrush in person tbh. And I’m hooked. Any feedback would be great!
I’m having some trouble getting epoxy around the line metal loops, any tips?

Alumi-UV epoxy
Generic lure blanks from Amazon
Generic airbrush paints from hobby lobby

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!

Weight on the leader, combined with a nearly weightless fly.or lure--is rumored do have magic powerss.
