Need Cheap Fishing Lures? It's Easy to Make Them Yourself!

It is very easy to empty your wallet when you prepare for a fishing trip. To catch the perfect fish you need the perfect lure and, unfortunately, store-made lures are pricey. It can be enough to discourage the most enthusiastic fisherman. Perhaps you may ask, "What is the best way to get fishing lures for decent prices?" The answer is surprisingly simple: make them yourself!
Making your own fishing lures allows you the freedom and creativity to design them as you wish AND it is a great money saver. There are ample tutoring videos over the Internet, some of the materials needed to make the lures can be found around the home, and with the right molds you can be snagging bigger and better fish with fewer lures! Here are a few tips on making good, convincing lures that will snag the right kind of fish:
  1. Choose the right size. Fish do not chew their food. Doing so would cause suffocation since it interferes with their gills. Instead, they swallow their food whole by grabbing, tearing it into smaller pieces, if necessary, then swallowing. It is not always the larger bait that snags the fish; it is the bait they can swallow whole with the hook.
  2. Choose the right shape. Some shapes and types of bait are more appealing to different types of fish. Worms may be more attractive to certain types of fish and shad may appeal more to others. Know the fish you are going for and what they typically hunt and what looks good to them.
  3. Choose the right "color." Most fish are actually colorblind, but that does not mean they cannot discern different color shades. Most of all, fish are attracted to reflected light so lures made with glittery material fare better as well as lures that are made to look realistic. But what makes them appear more realistic?
Resin molds are the cheapest molds to make, since they can be made from materials found around the house. However, they can wear out quickly and they are difficult to clean after use. Plastic molds are the same, being cheap and reliable but lacking in detail. Aluminum molds, although seemingly pricey at first, are the best and cheapest buy, over all. Not only are they easy to clean, and virtually limitless in their number of uses, they also produce factory quality bait. With aluminum molds you can make realistic lures over and over again without fear of gunk building up. A great website for purchasing aluminum molds is http://www.basstackle.com where you'll find an incredible variety of molds for different lures, safe and reliable transactions, and other gear suited to your sport. Happy fishing!
