Some stencils I have experimented with over the years, think I may have gotten a bit carried away! lol

I have a drawer full along with a big box of baits that were tried and were not right. Every now and then I grab one out and figure out how to make it work the right way.

Jed that is pretty funny!

I really the shapes you have!

A couple years back I started to make them out of scrap pieces of laminate . I use white scraps. You can t cut it on the bandsaw and sands great on the edge sander. The neat thing is your can experiment with different paint patterns. Spray it on and wipe it off to try different things. I screwed around with these a couple of weekends ago. Playing around with UV paint for walleye stuff.

Great idea! The lures I make the most I made stencils out of a piece of 1/8th plexiglass but I think your laminate idea would be easier.

Oh by the way, all those shapes you see in the picture? Those are mine! Mine I say!!

The experimentation is my favorite part of the process. Failure is a necessary part of the process..

Not just the stencils, but the buckets full of lures that didn't work, I could heat the house with everything that I've accumulated if I burned it.
Trying new styles is the best part, especially the first time you cast one. It's pass or fail in a matter of seconds.

People see me at a Lake Michigan boat landing in March with a bucket full of white lures and wonder what the hell I'm doing. One or two casts and change lures. Some get treated roughly while others are handled with care and have some light pencil writing on them. I've got a box full of figured CA Redwood blanks waiting for me. They're all stained and most will stay natural except for the belly. I can already hear..."What's with all of the brown lures"?

You can imagine the looks I get living in the state of Washington............."musky, what's that"? Everyone here knows what a trout, bass or salmon is but few know what a musky or pike is. I do my lure testing in a little duck pond on a college campus. I can tell people think I have a fish on the end of the line when they see the lure because they have never seen a lure that big before! They slow down, stop, look, point. lol.
