Making fishing lures

[Texas Grown]

That foil does wonders!

It does. It's cheap and easy to work with. I use it more for the scale texture than the flash. I have high hopes for this one with the trout.

Got out in the shed and made a few flukes up for cold weather fishing. Some of my favorite colors. Red Shad is definitely one of them. And the ol' Texas Roach.

And some paddle tails.

Got this one done this week. It's another balsa slow sinker with a through wire harness. I used foil for the scale effects and did a little more carving on this one. It's almost big trout season so I've a couple more jerk baits to make.

Almost too pretty to fish with!

Cranking out the crank baits.



A messy bench is a sign of a busy man!

Last night I got the lips on them and primered them white. Internal rattles and through wire rigging. I'll start painting tomorrow evening. Today I had to go get my place in Sargent ready for the freeze.

I have two of the five done. They have an internal rattle, weighted and a through wire harness. My wife says the copper/brown one looks like popcorn.
