Lure making
« on: Mar 23, 2005, 02:48 PM »
Anyone make their own lures (not sinkers, flies, and jigs) that really work? Were they from household materials? Do they catch fish?

I have been wanting to do this for awhile now, but still have not gotten around to it. Here is a cool website that I found that can run you thru the process and sells parts.

Made one i use for pike: I took an old spoon ( for eating) And cut off the handle. Then i drilled holes on the back and front of the spoon. attach trebles and a clip at front. I have actuallly caught a few pike on it too! I also make my own walleye spinner rigs.

I pour some of my own plastics, particularly large flukes I use for big bass and pike.  Much softer than traditional store bought baits which translates to better action in the water, and impregnated with garlic.  I have made some hard-bodies baits, but honestly, unless you intend to make a ton, the costs are close to store bought at the individual bait level.  The catalog I use is Lurenet(lurenet.com, I believe).

Do they work?? Yes sir, they do.  Tight lines.

I heard the jitterbug was invented with a corn cob with the "lips" being aluminum from a can... He cashed in on a succesful lure!

I've only built spinners and buzzbaits besides flys, jigs, and sinkers
