Some Finished Baits

[Fishwhittler]

Here are some new PVC baits I just finished. I was asked to paint a color similar to Strike King's Red Craw Chartreuse color, and the first three are what I came up with. The last one is my own pattern.

All those baits are looking good. I want to see a chart belly on the last bait, that would be a killer looking combo.

how do you make pvc baits?

[Fishwhittler]

Bigsby, PVC baits are made using the same basic techniques as wooden baits but using PVC board instead of wood. I like PVC because you don't have to seal it before painting, and it doesn't have any grain that can interfere with shaping the lure.

SO it is still a solid bait just like wood? I always thought that pvc bait were hollow.

[Fishwhittler]

PVC baits are solid, like wooden baits. PVC comes in boards that you can carve just about the same as wood.

where could you buy some pvc boards?

[Fishwhittler]

Vintage Woodworks is where I get PVC, but you may be able to find it locally.

If you do order from Vintage Woodworks, make sure you request smooth PVC in the comments section of the order form. They carry both smooth and textured PVC, and while it's possible to use textured PVC, the smooth boards are easier to work with.
