You can make freshwater lures on a lathe also it's not just salt water I fish for Muskie and Northern Pike and I use lures for stripers to catch them don't think these are just for saltwater freshwater works too I turn old school lures for freshwater and saltwater fish You can make freshwater lures on a lathe also it's not just salt water I fish for Muskie and Northern Pike and I use lures for stripers to catch them don't think these are just for saltwater freshwater works too I turn old school lures for freshwater and saltwater fish

yes people who are in to making lures still use the lathe to make them I make wooden fishing lures on a lathe and you can look up old lures from the 1920s to the 1950s all are made on a wood lathe

I have a harbor freight lathe and it works just fine I would have to say if you are just starting out I would use the harbor freight one till you get a feel for it. and maybe get a better one after you understand how to work with it tool's are more important and a good way to sharpen them is even more important good steel is the most important thing in wood turning tool bad tool's make for bad lures spend money on the tools the lathe is just part of it all small wood lathe are basically the same design so it really doesn't matter the tools are what's important tight lines jay
