I don't own a lathe and have never used one, but you have a few techniques that I've not seen in other lure making videos in which lathes were used. One thing you know for sure... that lure has a successful repeatable design! Great video. I hope you make more lures!
Im just researching everything i need and trying to find out where to start for plug building. Im glad i stumbled across this, you have a simplified process. still looks like a tough craft you've mastered, but youve got apprpaches i haven't seen.
