hazmail Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 #Part 2 Either use a tenon saw, hack saw, band saw, circular saw, whatever rocks your bait, I use a very fine circular saw blade, hooked up to a sewing machine motor, because the slot is very fine @ 1mm wide. For some of these bigger lures you could use an adze and as long as it is square, finish up with a great job. Whatever you use, square the blade to the lure or use a set square to draw a line. I use jigs for about three different lip angles (and for just about everything I make). Lip slot and harness grooves are done and it is all pinned together and coincidentally, if you normally place the lip in before you start painting, you have a nice centre line to eyeball with. You should now be ready to sand the lure to shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Excellent tutorial, very comprehensive. I particularly liked the jigging for the lip slot, accuracy and no guess work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
out2llunge Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Jigs / Templates:If you intend to make this a career or an extended hobby -Makea JIG for every aspect of lure making you can (that goes for wire harness, furniture, wood turning, toys etc), it initially takes a lot of time to make some jig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazmail Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Good morning, its Melbourne Cup Day here (MAJOR horse race) so it is a public holiday. I should have gone fishing as the weather is perfect here, and I am assuming when the sun rises there on Wednesday (in 17 hours time) it will be a beautiful there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjiwhite Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 nice tutorial..you may want to try going straight through with the wire and instead of creating a "hook hanger" for your first hook in the middle of the lure, add a double barrell swivel through the wire and add your hook to that. I usually cut my hooks in the eye and solder onto the barrell swivel. The hook would rotate 360 degrees and it makes it harder for the fish to throw that hook anyway!
