RayburnGuy Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Since i posted this thread, ive constructed 5 failures.. 2 crank baits and 3 topwaters, all with their own unique problems.. I hung them up over my desk on my "wall of shame" (ha ha!) for motivational purposes... I imagine thats just as bad as losing a successful build in the water... But yet, im still building!... #6 is ready for clear coat as we speak, and "testing" next weekend.... I get it now, just another reason to keep building! Most of the time, for me at least, the hard fought victories are the ones remembered most. Same thing applies to building baits. Lure building is a skill learned over time through a process of failure and success just like learning how to throw a curve ball or any of the other things we do in our day to day lives. As far as I know there is only one secret to building your own baits and that's to not give up. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
