i started making lures a couple years ago i made my first lure out of a tree branch it. wasn’t good my any means but i kept going and i’m slowly getting better and better need one of those band saws soon tho my tools are holding me back a lot since i only have hand tools to work with i recently switched from using hard woods to using soft bolsa wood and it’s been a learning curve bolsa isn’t that forgiving especially when all u have is hand tools but i’m happy with how good the lures are turning out id definitely recommend u use bolsa but it can be a little pricey or at least it was for me in the uk i paid ab £8 for like a meter definitely not as cheap and using branches and scrap wood like i used to but the lures r turning out so much better but try different woods figure out what u like and i’m sure you’ll all start making great progress 👍

I could watch you make these all day, there's something therapeutically pleasing which could be due to the Birds chirping in the background : )

Is the super glue really strong enough to hold a fish? Like would you use it if you're targeting big fish?

@TreysArt

9 ай бұрын

You could definitely catch big fish on it. A solid one piece wire harness would be more robust, but the screw eyes with superglue are excellent as well. I’ve never had one fail. A lot of it has to do with your drag when your fighting a big fish. 9 times out of 10 your hooks are going to bend before the screw eyes fail and if that’s the case you need to give the fish a little more drag anyway.

What do you use for the tow point and hook point?

That a question I’ve wondered myself but I’ve never had any strip out. The engineered angler has a video where he tests superglue vs epoxy for hook hangers. He put a scale on them to see how much force it took to break them. Surprisingly it took quite a bit. If I knew I was going to large roomy fish I’d go with a solid wiring harness though.

Are the hook and head wires attached through the bore holes or are they glued into the hole individually? Just wondering what a 15 pound pike needs so the lure doesn’t rip apart.

@TreysArt

10 ай бұрын

Gluing in Screw eyes or twist wire for the line-tie and hook hangs would probably be fine but if you want to be sure I’d go with a solid 1 piece wiring harness (thru-wire). It would be a sad day losing a 15lb pike due to a wire failure.

Just get a knife you can carve ( a utility knife works really well ) and just start carving on a smaller piece of wood. Or even a stick. You’d be surprised how much you’ll learn by just doing that.

What would you recommend, if you were building a shopping list, to set up shop...what would be the first tools youd buy? Ive made 2 lures, a minnow and a topwater plug but im just hand carving now. Id love to hear what you think. Great work btw.

Hmm that would require a complicated answer and to be honest I just do a lot of testing in order to get the action the way I want it. To make it swim like a fish you have to account for the weight, buoyancy, shape, line tie placement and lip size, shape and angle. I know this doesn’t quite answer your question but that’s why I do a lot of testing when I’m making a new lure.

A band saw is probably one of the more useful tools to have when making wooden baits but you could always use a hand saw to trim off excess material and then use a knife to carve it down to shape. That’s basically how I started but eventually I was able to purchase my bandsaw and it made a world of difference. Good luck man and be careful with all that carving, cuts are inevitable!

I've had other BPM baits kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!
