Great looking lures. What wood do you like to use. I have been using balsa with a thru wire which is, as you know, a bit of a pain. I assume you are using screw eyes for attachments/line attachment?

I make these out of bass wood, and do use 3/4” screw eyes that are epoxied in. My baits range from 1.5-3” and I haven’t had an issue with hardware. Bass wood is the only wood I’ve worked with and like it so far for everything I’ve made. You can get a lot of baits out of one board.

Just Paint

Well done!

I did a couple of crappies in the new shape I’ve been working on over the weekend.

I finally got around foiling a bait. First time for me to “silver leaf” a bait. I like the imperfections of the foil. This is also handmade from bass wood.

Roboworm MM III colored craws and creature baits

Looks like it would work well

Making a mold from the elusive Berkley MaxScent Flat worm.

Dang nice mold!

Thanks, I made two so I can pour a dozen at a time.

Resin Glide bait

Balancing the lure took some work, but satisfied with how it moves



Paint jobs from Rustoleum rattle spray cans and a brush

Very cool!!! I took at stab a a big jointed glide bait for the first time.

Very nice!

Also did a crappie, rainbow trout, and a gizzard shad
The crappie was tricky with Rustoleum rattle cans
Will dust off my compressor and airbrush at some point

A little late night Budweiser induced painting just waiting for clear coat.
