Jd Boomstra Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hey guys, I'm pretty new to lure making (started a little more than a year ago) and I really enjoy it. I really haven't done more than crankbaits and some simple top water baits like poppers and spooks. I've been looking to expand my horizons but I'm not sure what I should try next. I would love to hear what you guys think! Thanks, Jd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD_mudbug Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 How about a jointed multi-section bait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Sky is the limit maybe try to think outside the box and see what you come up with. Maybe consider a hybrid lure something that involves learning a new skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd Boomstra Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks for the input Hillbilly Voodoo and JD_mudbug! I think I'll try both of your suggestions. Maybe if I can try both with one lure. I've got a full day of nothing tomorrow so I'm gonna see what I come up with. Thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Something that was mentioned recently; analyze your own fishing situation and come up with a solution to your particular fish catching problem. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Epp Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 You could try a lipless crankbait. Similar in many ways to a regular crank, but requires adjusting weights and ties. Could be a simple variation of one of the cranks you already make and enjoy. As mentioned, there are sooooooooooo many options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw4 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 try to solve a problem. example...i like X bait but the hooks always tangle, or whatever. i like creeper baits but they generally need to be fished slow so i am working on one i can fish faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
