Another Crankbait. This time a deep diver (the long bill does this). I seem to have gone from posting furniture to fishing lures here. My interests often go through phases. Thing is I can crank out a crankbait (see what I did there?) in about three to four hours. Much easier than making a...

Today I made a lipless crankbait. It's made out of hard maple. I used it because I wanted a sinker and with dense wood you can add less ballast to get it to drop. There is a video of the build and also getting it wet here. It's only about 10 minutes long should you care to see it. Small...

Yesterday I made another crankbait. I call it the unknown crankbait because I have no idea what kind of fish it might represent. It looks a bit yellow perch'ish but it's not. Anyway I like it. In the water it has nice action. It's made of white pine with createx airbrush paint and a UV-resin...

About a month ago I decided I wanted to fish with some of my own lures. I spent a long time researching how to make a crankbait. Youtube certainly is a great way to learn stuff. Well, it's about a month later. A bunch of new tools, and armed to going from making beds and benches to a wood...

Well, I made my second crankbait. I posted the first and it came out pretty good but I messed up on the epoxy mix and it never dried and probably never will. So, I decided to remake it. this time measuring the epoxy correctly. Yes it hardened and yes I took a couple of casts and it wobbles and...

This is the third bait I've made. Some differences are shape, deep diving bill, through wire, and carved gills. It's carved out of pine and painted with an airbrush Here is a link to my youtube channel showing the build

My attempt at a bluegill segmented bait. It has a unique internal aluminum hinge. That, and the tall profile made this one a challenge to make it work right. It's made of pine and maple. All parts are hand made except the hooks. A video of the build:

A relatively simple carving and paint job on this crappie crank bait. It's made of the same piece of pine I've used for most of my baits from a tree I cut down in the early 70's. Painting is done with an airbrush. Everything except the hooks are handmade. If you're interested in the video of...

Really getting into this bait making now. This is my fourth one. I get it from piece of pine to ready to paint in about an hour. It's so nice to work on something that fits in the palm of my hand instead of something I need two people to move around to work on it! I will have to wait till...

Yet another pandemic bait. Can't wait for ice out. A lipless crankbait with a new chrome paint called spazstiks. Made of cedar (an old deck board). As usual I make everything but the hooks. BTW….I do make other things besides baits you know. Look at my gallery. I've got a combo dresser/changing...

I made a bait that has a rotating tail and such a cool sound. It's called a whopper plopper. After a fashion I got it to work. It's made of white pine. Everything is hand made except the hooks. A great video of it that shows the complete build and in action in the water… such a cool sound...

It's been awhile since I made a fishing lure. I've been getting back to furniture and completed 4-5 pieces lately. But I figured I wanted to do something that could be completed in a few hours instead of a few days. So, back to carve and paint a fishing lure. This one is a spinner crank bait...
