As part of my start into this bait making adventure I first tried my skills out on a few hand carved wooden jerkbaits.
First you need some lure blanks which were not too hard to make with my shop setup. I designed two different body styles and cut them out.
After making the lure blanks, carving them to shape, adding through wire, and gluing together the halves together it was time for the most fun part!
Painting these lures was quite a challenge but also extremely rewarding to see them come to life.
The second design offered a bit more of a challenge.
I still need to catch a fish on one of these but I am a little too scared to fish with them…
