Well usually winter is the only time that I try not to spend money on fishing stuff, but lately I have been building a couple lures like the wood swimbaits they use out in California for the big bass. I also got an airbrush so I can paint a little better and I have been having some fun repainting some old beat up baits. Here are two of the baits I just finished up making. The first one is a 9" rainbow trout (theres a few catchable trout program lakes around here that "might"  have some muskies in) and the second one is a 9.5" bass pattern bait.Attachments ---------------- rainbow plug.JPG (54KB - 132 downloads) baby bass plug.JPG (50KB - 135 downloads) | |||

Thanks for the compliments  . Yea I carved/filed the bodies out of basswood. Then formed the fins and tail out of lexan, and anchored them into the body. Then a little primer and a few minutes with the airbrush and they were done. | |||

Posts: 15 | I started making lures this winter and this is my first lure that I designed. It's a 7 inch glider that weighs about 3 ounces. I'm working on getting more of a roll to the lure...right now I can get it to dart in every direction; it just doesn't have a really good belly roll. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but if i place a little more weight towards the upper portion of the lure (Not towards the front...just up higher), shouldn't it help to make it roll more? Right now the weight is pretty low in the bait so it is something I am going to experiment with. BTW...love all the other baits, I love seeing all the other homemade lures everybody else is making. Keep postin 'em! Doug Edited by gordy9722 2/25/2005 10:05 PM Attachments ---------------- perchglider1.jpg (20KB - 135 downloads) | ||

| Pltizzz / ChadG / Gordy9722, aahh heck, everyone that posted photos of their baits: I'll take two of everything Send your baits to..... The whole bunch are awesome. I agree with 2Rod. Way to go all you BBMs and keep the basement baits coming. | |||

Posts: 141 | Gordy, yes by placing weight higher up the bait you gain more roll and makes a good alternative to the usual side to side action many lures offer, some great paint jobs but I believe action is more important than finish.
