I really meant to say Minesota...the other components I purchased online from a shop in Texas. R:sauced: -
It looks...I think a lot better than it fishes. I did not put enough weight in the back... If at 1st you don't succeed try try again. R:whistle: -
My first attempt at making a hard bait. Rick -
Unfortunatley I didn't....I am not that accomplished yet. I did get them from a tackleshop in Texas....I was trying to find more ornate heads instead of the typical cone shaped heads or the generic ones you find at other tackle stores. I can get you the name if you want, and thanks for the compliment. This whole tacklemaking thing is pretty addictive. I see other peoples work and I am just in awe. They look like....are...works of art. Rick

These were just finished today in my garage in 106 degree desert heat..

Thanks for the reply Tim....my follow up question would be once you have hollowed it out how or what do use to reseal the wood? R

Can anyone tell me whats the best way of adding beads into a carved balsa or basswood lure so it rattles? Rick:?
-
Some are made from parts of old spinnerbaits (ie...blades), but everything was put together by hand. Never thought making your own baits was this fun. I plan on using these the next bass tournament I am in. Rick -
I am hoping to graduate to crankbaits, but since this is my 1st time making my own baits I figured spinnerbaits would be a good place to start. Rick:? -
1st Series:yes:

John, I am really new to this...could you tell me what kind of paint you used? I am using an airbrush. Your work is amazing. It's something I would like to strive for. Right now I am just using vinyl paints and horsing around at detailing 3/8 to 1/2 oz spinnerbaits. I ordered some unpainted crankbaits that I am waiting to arrive from Barlows....but I have to tell you I am a bit intimidated in that I am afraid of making them look more like floating dead fish rather than sharp looking lures. Again,,,your attention to detail is phenomenol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Rick -
Those crankbaits are really nice. I am just starting out on making and painting my own tackle and was just curious as to what kind of paint you used on the balsa? Also..maybe you know or dont....what kind of paint would you or do you use on plastic crankbait bodies? Rick8)
