I know...Why???? But the weather is getting warmer and fishing is about to go full season.
Just like reloading, I wouldn’t mind making wooden lures. I got 3 mini mes that I want to come with me when I go fishing. so buying them their own(snowflakes, all 3. Lol) set would be just expensive. Not talking about the 2 inch 3/4 lures for freshwater. Talking about 6+ inches 2 1/2 + oz wooden lures for the surf (rocks and blues). I know chunk baits the best for DELMARVA area. But always like doing stuff like this so...
Anybody make their own wooden lures? I know you need a wood lathe, chisels, etc. than the cost of wood, sealers, hooks, paints, already over $300, and that’s buying the cheapest equipment I can find. Can get a tons of lures, professionally made, at that price. But...
What is a a good cheap wood lathe? Don’t need anything that makes table legs or anthing.
What wood is best? Read hobby wood to cedar wood. Even read broom sticks.
Best way to seal wood? Can I use Thompson water seal from hd?
If anybody has knowledge that they are willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thinking it will be a fun wood shop hobby I can do for a long time. Maybe teach my kids something in the process
