Wood Lures

[spinnerbayt]

I've seen some fishing related items here so I thought I'd add mine. Fishing is my greatest passion and muskie fishing is at the top of that list. I got into pen turning as a spell over from making muskie lures. I've made a few on the lathe and will post them later after I take some photos. These are all cut out, weighted, painted and clear coated by myself.

That is beautiful work, the best I have ever seen.

I don't fish anymore, but if I did, I would hit you up for a few...Awesome

Great lures, sad part is they are about the size of the fish I catch.

very nice - do you make them to sell them, or is it just for fun?

I like fishing for musky - lots of fun!

My grandfather traveled to Wisconsin for vacation for many years, trying to catch a keeper (at least 30" long.) It took him almost 15 years to land one. I was in the boat with him when he reeled it in. He was so happy! (It was 30.5".)

Love the lures.

These are fantastic!!! I've watched a few tutorials on how to make these and being an avid fisherman myself I have wanted to try my hand at making some! Just need to find the time! Now that I have my own casting supplies I thought about making my own fishing lure skirts for saltwater fishing instead of paying $25+ per skirt!

Looks like someone needs to make a 'teaching 'paper for the library.

I am more into making bass lures........BUT those look great.
I would love to know more.

Keep up the fun!

Very nice craftsmanship! I've seen a few links online with guys making them from alumilite and thought... maybe... Then reality sets in so I think... maybe when I retire. After seeing yours, it rekindled that spark. I love the paint job!
Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding craftsmanship. Those are the finest "home made" lures I've ever seen.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll try and post up some lathe turned lures as soon as I can. I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel so I just slip in here a few minutes each day while I'm at work. Maybe this fall or winter I can do a little write up on the process.

Here is a couple pics of the fish I've caught from my lures.
