I love making handmade wooden fishing lures. In this video, I carve a jointed swimbait in a bluegill pattern from block of wood to finished bait. I also include several tips and techniques for anyone interested in making their own lure. Thanks for watching; I hope you enjoy it!

I’ve reached a point in life, that I think making your own stuff is better, let alone cost effective. I’ve made a few lures and fished the heck out of them, just so I could say, ‘I made it, and it catches fish’. My son got me hooked on swim baits and glide baits. He has spent $250 or more on one bait. Now he’s asking me to make some for him. Thanks for the tutorial, very informative!

i am new to your videos and as a wood worker and fisherman i am VERY impressed. I know this video is two years old but i might suggest two things you may have already added. you can get a glove for your left hand that you can't cut with an exact o knife or carving chisel if you slip. i learned this in Boy Scouts from personal experience...lol, Also on your band saw make a zero-clearance piece that fits around the blade and fits in the holding slot. This will keep pieces from falling in the hole or twisting on you when making the cut. i use these on all types of saws: table, band and scroll saws. you don't need them all of the time but when doing intricate cuts it keeps you finger count around ten... Keep up the good work.

@zimmtex 8 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for watching and sharing your wisdom! I have since changed my carving habits, but the band saw suggestion is a new idea for me to explore. I've not been satisfied with my saws performance, but a zero clearance might just solve a lot of my issues. Thank you!

Phenomenal! You always do an excellent job with both making the lures and doing the videos! Great descriptions and you always have great approach for all the steps along the way in the many different parts that go into making a lure! I really enjoy the way you go about doing everything objectively and figure out what works best for the situation your in. I really relate to it all being that I am the same way, anything I do I want to do it the best way I can figure out how and I am always trying to learn new and better ways while doing everything in the best way I know how. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into sharing everything you're doing and learning! Greatly appreciated!

I have to say something mate. The twisted wires are easier to make if you have a metal skyhook in the drill..Place the two ends of the folded wire in pliers & twist away, saves the ginning around with the bits in the chuck..

@zimmtex Год назад

That sounds like a great method!

@MarcosMVlures 3 года назад

I think the lipless one need to have more joint movement. Maybe like other lure makers do, sandinf the edge of the V slot on each jointed part. Awsome lure, awsome video!!!

You might be right! These joints are elegant, but I really like the double twist wire joints better. They leave a wider joint and are much easier to install. Thanks!
