Making a Wooden Stick Bait- handmade saltwater fishing lures

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Carving these handmade saltwater fishing lures is very satisfying. In this video I make two wooden lures: a clownfish and a pacific mackerel. I use several techniques including through wire for strength, foiling for a realistic scale pattern and balancing or ballasting to weight the lures.

    Been loving your videos. But one question: do you scuff your baits after you do a clearcoat in between painting to ensure bonding of the paint and next epoxy layers?

  • @zimmtex

    Thanks! I do not scuff the lure; it seems to bond well without it and I haven't had any problems.

    Hey Mate, great video and channel it has helped me heaps and my builds are so much better for it. Can I ask, the automotive primer you use is oil-based right? why does it not interfere with the water-based spray paint and lead to cracking or non bonding??

    Hello! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the channel! I don't know if this primer is oil based. It dries really fast and leaves a very matte finish. No problems with adhesion or cracking. Cheers!

    I cut some clips out of wood and drilled through so I could tighten them with wing nuts. Then I epoxied the clip into a piece of PVC pipe so that it would fit into the PVC caps on my drying wheel. I might make a video on how to build a drying wheel if there is enough interest.

    Nice work love those single hooks ..... I'm not feelin the action of that lure to be honest ... I feel that the position of the weights and the amount that you installed is really stopping the lure to move correctly. The man over there at Solar baits did videos on these types of stick baits about 8 years ago... and his information on it is unsurpassed. I'm not trying to be a ass I'm just trying to make some constructive suggestions. Keep the videos coming.

    Hi James, I appreciate and welcome your comments. These lures have a pretty wide gait. If I had thought about it, I would have weighted them differently so I would have a variety of actions to work with. I will definately be making more of these and look forward to making them better.
