...How many lures do you build each year?

Just curious.

built 60 the first year, 600 the second year. 60 was fun, 600 was NOT.

2006 was my first year building Grunts for money. I built 200 and sold about 150 so far. If I get to 1000/year I think I will be happy. Anymore and I woudl not be able to keep up without taking a LOT of time away from my family. I have a full time job as a chemist so lures takes some extra free time. Fun though. If I had to I could make 80-100/week full time (50hrs or so/week).

On a yearly basis I make maybe 40 lures. I am still in the "making lures for fun" stage. Much more than that and it will start to be a chore.

100 is my maximum....never more than 100. I am a fisherman first, lure making is a winter project for me.

Once I sold a few there was more demand than there was energy to build. I limit myself to building only in the off season now maybe 150 baits. That way it is still fun and I have time to fish.
