df56345 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) So after spending way to much on muskie lures I have decided to make my own. Is there anyone out there with some tips tricks and info on tools needed to make some quality lures. I have found some wire benders and other wire tools and have a budget of around $500.00 to spend, but dont want something thats not needed or junk. THANKS Edited October 28, 2010 by df56345 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Hi df56345, Welcome to TU ! Question: What type of lures are you planning to make ? Spinnerbaits ? Jigs ? A little more details about your plans will help to receive more accurate advices. Edited October 28, 2010 by psv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Sorry, I missed Large Spinnerbaits at the header. Bunch of questions anyway: Do you choose the molds already ? Are you planning to use powder or airbrush for painting ? Are you planning to do your own wire forms or buy pre-bend forms (my choice, although I have Hagen's and Boggs, none of those tools work with 0.62 wire by default. You can modify them to accept 0.62) I think 500$ would be good enough for molds, lead, wire forms and other staff like skirts, swivels, clevices etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
