Lure Making Again

[IcatchDinks]

I figured last fall that I would spend the winter months making baits to try out in the spring. Turns out I hate doing fishy things when I can't go fishing. Now that fishing season is in full swing, I find myself drawn back into lure making again. I spent the evenings yesterday and today clearcoating a couple lures, and starting another one. I'm still pretty new to this whole lure making thing, and I have to work off a card table in my upstairs apartment's living room, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. The unfinished lure pictured has a steel, pivoting back fin, and a steel lip. It actually has some good action when I tried it out on the bathtub. After I get it painted and coated, I'm going to take it to the lake and see what it can do. It was inspired by a couple old lures I saw online.

Excellent! I love making lures but haven’t done so in a very long time.
 

There is no other feeling like catching them green and bronze critters on a lure you crafted.
