Now that I'm done with school I'll have a lot more time on my hands during the winter months and weekends. I was wondering what the first things I should buy to get into the lure making aspect of musky fishing? Is there something that I just have to have and how much money should I invest right away?

Any help is appreciated!

What kind of lure are you looking to make? Depending on the answer it will make a difference as to what you will want to purchase.

At first I would probably make bucktails and spinnerbaits and then if I enjoyed that then I would start making some hard baits.

I am pretty clueless on bucktails and spinnerbaits, not that I have alot of clues on any types. I mainly make topwater wood lures but there are alot of guys on here that should be able to help you.
