Hi cory!There is a thing that I can be sure!!!Your at the right place to learn how to make a very good and nice looking lure!!!But!!First!You need some good tools to start!if you have a 40$ air brush for a example it is tuff to do good!!5 years ago I started with nothing,a 40$ air brush,zero knowledge about what kind of wood to use,what kind of sealer,primer,clear coat and paint!!!!the first year I made about 6 prototype crankbaits!!Not even one of those could swim!!!!lol!!!!And now!5 years later I am making my cranks whit hard resin,With a mold,I have 2 deepdiver models,one shallow is on the way!and I am catching some muskys on them!!even sold a few on e-bay!!!all that to tell that with some help,practice,practice and some more practice!!!good tools and the most important of all I think is to be passionate!!!!!You will end up with a very nice looking product that you will be proud of!!!
When you want,you can!!!Whe say that in french!!lol!!!Cheers.Muskydan666
