Guides to Carve Fishing Lures

The fine art of carving fishing lures by hand was all but gone until a renewed interest in antique lures revived the hobby. Catching a fish on a lure made by your own hands is an accomplishment that few know. With some basic woodworking skills, making your own lures is a worthwhile project.

Instructions

    1 Decide on the type of wood you'll be working with. Basswood and balsa are the most popular but red cedar works well and is the choice of artisans replicating the original carving art.
    2 Trace out the rough shape of the lure on a block of wood. Make sure you trace the top and sides, leaving the bottom flat for now. Cut out the basic shape of the lure with a scroll or band saw.
    3 Whittle the lure into a more defined shape, adding taper and body details to match the fish you're replicating. Experiment with subtle changes to the design until you find one that works best for your style of fishing.
    4 Sand the lure along the grain with course 100 grit paper and work your way down to 400 grit paper for the final finish. Add definition to the body taper and even out any variance between sides.
    5 Seal and prime the wood before painting. Use color combinations that mimic the feeder fish in the lakes and rivers you'll be casting the lures on. Use a fishing reference guide to help you select the best options. Use a finish of clear coat to add shine and seal the paint.
    6 Attach the treble hook or hooks along the bottom of the lures and use 5-minute epoxy to attach the line eye. Play with different weights and positions while you tune the lure. Once it's running true, you are ready to start fishing.
