- I am by no means the first and will not be the last person to cut down a broom pole and head to some water. But sometimes the simplest lures are the best or just ok.

Hey Paul Im 17 and I just started making lures for fishing and I have almost absolutely No tools But My passion For Fishing Keeps Me going Catching A Fish With something You made Is Very Rewarding All my lures that i have made I love Thanks for the inspiriration..
Thanks, it still gets me every time I am out with a lure i have made myself
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and I'm now completely obsessed with your videos. I especially love the videos like this one where everything is done with simple tools and materials. I think I'm going to have to try this myself though I have no illusions about anything I make turning out as nice as yours do.
Grandpa Stubelt Rip had 2 finishing lures. As a farmer in SW Michigan he only fished evenings. He fished while wading and used a rowboat to get to areas to wade. He used a home made popper from broom handle which he painted black with a recessed cup up front that he painted red. Gramps documented for years on average he caught a minimum of a hundred bass. His other lure was a black rubber worm. He said he liked to Wade because he fish the area more thoroughly and slowly.

You have a good talent and a lot of patient, Nice to see all your video on making a lure. And the best part, all work very well to catch the fish.
My Grandfather still makes broom handle lures to replicate old wooden Heddon Lucky 13's. They are still made today but they are plastic and the action just isn't the same. I'd love to see you make one, and they're deadly on Pike. Keep up the great work.
it would be great to find out a little how he does it, it is something i have never tried before, but i can give it as go thanks
My grandad made his own lures from broom sticks and butter knife handles, always caught fish.
Way to go - it's great you show fishing results of using your lure. Gotta take s shot at this myself! Thank you!
Hello Paul, greetings from Peru... you are always a Master of Masters!!! thank you for sharing this excellent video... big regards, Antonio
Very nice work. I like your lack of planning, which is how I pretty much work myself. If I start to plan too much I get nothing done!
Great video and instruction once again! If you take a piece of the broom pole and put a shallow trough on the nose, it makes a great top water popper. I make a smaller one from 1/2 inch dowel rod and paint it in a frog pattern. The bass love it!
Thanks, i will be doing poppers and hopefully a frog
Sort of like Paul Adams meets Paul Sellers, with the hand tools. Both quality guys.
thanks, My Sellers is a bit of heroe

Very nice lure that looks like a lure that you would see in the store
Finally a good use for a broom
This video inspired me on how to to make simple wooden lures, so now I am starting to make a channel like yours.
Paul, When fishing the Sea Of Cortez in Baja Mexico. The go to lure is the CEDAR PLUG, the simplest of lures, but very effective, would love to see you build one !
I have some, cedar, lead and a bit of brass, that might be a project, do you fish using them often?
Yes, I've used them for 20+ years. And I'm headed down to the East Cape in Sept and will use them then. When on the Hotel fishing cruisers you have a wide range of lures to use, and by trial and error by far my favorite is the cedar plug. We catch many different species and no other lure is so simple. After watching you engineer lures to swim properly I'm sure they are more complicated in their build then they seem. Thanks for your channel, because of this ,I'll build lures someday.
The action on that second tail was great. Awesome lure. Nice pike too.
I don't fish with a lure but I really enjoy your videos.
that is a big compliment
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman) I don't really fish, just tag along occasionally. and I really enjoy your videos too
Your lures are absolutely stunning, man!
thanks
Hi Paul, I see regularly your videos and am absolutely amazed and thrilled what you build for great fishing bait again and again! Thank you that you let us know about it and we show your design! Thanks and best regards to you!
Please excuse my bad English!
Thomas
thanks, i should have something on paper in the next couple of days
You, make my evening when I receive a video from you................Great job..............
thanks
Very good. I like the vids with more hand tools. Not easy carving the end-grain on that broom handle but you did a nice job of keeping it symmetrical. Wouldn't take much to turn that into a popper. I grew up about 10 miles from the Heddon factory. Have a nice day.
I was testing a popper on Saturday for the next video, thanks
Really nice side by side action! good job Paul
Make a jerkbait type lure out of a broom handle. I love these types of vids because it lets me follow along instead of the more technical vids that I don't have the materials for. Love your vids though, keep it up.
thank you
Ya some of them are really hard to make but this one is very doable
my first handmade lure made from broom stick too! nice job!
I just made my own top water out of dowel wood based on a heddon spook. I would suggest trying to add rattles for more fish attraction. Nicely done though
a piece of art, I am from Morocco I like a lot your videos!!
thank you
love your videos Paul and your accent tops them off 👍👍 great stuff
cheers
Funny to come acros this vid in suggestions whilst I just carved up a whole broom stick to make my ever first diy lures. I shaped them a bitmore fishlike though. Confiscated my wifes nailpolish, orange, silver, and a gliter for finish xD
i made broom handle popper when i was 15 caught a few bluefish and lost it didn't make another until got lathe 25 years later now have about 1000 saltwater and fresh water lures I made, fun catching on your own homemade
sometimes i dream about throwing the camera away and just making lures for the hell of it, i have lathe but really enjoy hand carving broom poles it is not great for volume just relaxation and I tend to lose a lot of fishing lures to friends so I am not sure I will ever amass a collection, thanks for your story
Great video and fantastic quality. There is a lot of thinking and work gone into creating that lure, I am glad you caught on it.
I was really pleased that I caught, I think it was within the first twenty casts a real rod thumper
wow !!!! nice video Greetings from paraguay
coolest color I have ever seen with me own to eyes
cheers
I want to say thanks for an amazing channel. I've followed you for a while now and you've inspired me to make my own lure. I'm in the process of making a rat lure and your techniques have helped a ton! thanks again!
thanks, I too am hoping to have a go a rat lure sometime soon
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman) awesome! I'll be looking forward to it!
Lovely as always, and actually a lure I can make!
thanks
Perfect, as allways. Thank you, greetings from Warsaw. Alex.
thank you
schöner wobbler . Petri. war wieder sehr interessant und lehrreich. :-)
danke
You should make a rat lure. We use them here in the us in Southern California and catch monster bass, I'm sure they would work great there.
late summer is normally top water time over here and we have a lot of rats so it would make a great bait
Awesome video matey, I don't think many people like IKEA but we still end up shopping there especially when the wife is involved 🙄
I've decided to try and make one from a cheap rolling pin I brought whilst in a bargain style shop the other day for £1 😂 we'll have to see how that turns out. As always yours look awesome, it's crazy how the detail in the tail makes such a difference in the action!
yes, too much of my life has been wasted there, they should just go the whole hog and make it Woman only. I also have some lovely beech rolling pins that I am saving for the lathe. The tail was a revelation, i actually cut the second one out on the bank. thanks
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman) another video to look forward to 👍 mobile adjustments, I like your style
Hi there. Have you thought of dishing out the front on a shortened broom handle piece to make a frog popper? Excellent videos. Your style really captures the relaxing nature that fishing imbues. Keep up the great work.
I've learned a lot from you thank Paul for video
thanks, i learn a lot from making the videos
Only just found this channel, it very inspiring I must say! I'm definitely going to try some of your ideas our!
Do you sell any of the lures you make?
Maybe try and remake some of your older videos with the broom handle. Like the old school lure, and the spook looking one you covered in jog skinz. I think it would be a welcome challenge that you'd be willing to tackle. (This pun was also unintended :P)
Yep I will be doing a spook of sorts and maybe something similar to the old school with the lip. Puns are always welcome, thanks
this is a bass lure but I think you should take a look at it it's a "spro bbz rat 1" which could be very useful in making a model of a rat if you decide to make one 👍.
Great video, recommend attempting to place a ball bearing rattle inside a top-water version. Keep up the excellent work.
I think I need to add some noise, thanks
Another great video. Dropped some coffee money in your bucket.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for the support
suggestion: design a lure (your choice of style) that has tiny spinner blades (6-8?) around the neck of the lure. large spinners have been around forever and work, you could even work with some of the newer materials. it would add weight/flash/noise. mentioned this to Jord as well to ask you. he had your back, and told me how busy you've been, so I let it go, but now, since you referenced? cheers!, Chris
might be an idea a collar of spinner blades, i have idea for a very odd ball lure and this might work, cheers
exactly the thought!
This idea is great!
Please, could you try to make a kind of popper or a frog?
Thank you Paul, love all your works
thanks, yes frog type lure is a must, thanks
Sir Adams, thank you for all the informative videos. May you please prepare a video of a wooden 9cm or 10cm needlefish with a rattling (using balls) wtd action and a drawing template?..
This is amazing! you need a TV show! also as a suggestion maybe a small square bill? or perhaps a joint? looking forward to the next video!
i may use a square bill with a joint for a rat
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman) exactly what I was thinking!
how about making a shiny one for the sea
make a topwater lure so do the same thing you did just with no weights and no tail love the videos man
going fishing with one i have just made
Nice job great vid your lures look like the ones in the stores
This is perfect for me because I have a big wooden pole that's just the right size from scout camp
A top water lure would be cool!!
yep, spooks, poppers frogs, thanks
I’ve made poppers out of broom Handel’s , similar to a lucky 13 and diving lures aswell
This is so cool I just came across your channel and it’s really interesting
probably easiest thing from the handle: a spook type Lure, just a standard walk the dogish stick bait
A spook has got to be on the list, thanks
Paul keep your great films coming :D
thanks
thanks again, great video my friend.I'm just getting into lure making and your videos are a great help.
Morakniv best for carving wood! (Bäst för att snitta trä!)
Make an offshore popper please, I know where you live probably isn't near the ocean but if you ever take a trip to a beach in America you will probably get a fish
I think it will need to be through wired, so i may try some experiments
Truly inspirational brother, thank you
Great video as always. For the safety reasons please don't upload videos close to 8am when I'm finishing night shift. I watched this one while driving what was not the smartest idea :) just re-watched that again and still like it :)
Great video Paul, i´ve just done one from a broom pole, surface lure for seabass fishing, easy way and waiting fish to catch it, awesome as ever...cheers
I fancied trying for bass with a topwater, have you got a link maybe facebook to some pictures?
No I don´t have facebook but i´ll take some photos and put it at the blog, it´s something similar Heddon superspook but this lure weight 50 gr and lenghts 9 cm, a bit crazy topwater to cast far looking for seabass...
Not so pretty but it swims

thanks for sharing your lure
i have a spook i am hoping to finish to try this weekend, not sure if i will find some bass,
you are the MEN
Super nice detail on the changeable tail, and I agree with solar. You should leave the lure with a bit of rolling
i had no idea how i was going to fix it until i folded over the silicone when i was epoxy coating, but it really held it in place and i had few tail pulling pike that i never landed but they left some teeth marks
I guess the silicone sheets from Ikea is quite durable compared til softplastic.
very, ikea has to be good for something
i think a pike would demolish one of their coffee tables
Ha ha - probably would. Don't need Jaws to do that
You should make a top water walking bait
another great vid!
definitely gonna try this, all the way over here in New Zealand for saltwater fish, like "Yellowtail" Kingfish!
good luck
Try making a popper, or maybe something like a heddon spook.
Another great lure! Awesome video😁🍀👍
nice video love them
you could make changing toilet paper fascinating. (I'm out of superlatives for your vids) thanks Paul.
thanks for the effort
Nice video! Ty Paul!
Good lure, try making a little neck popper!
I have tried some experiments hand carving the necks but it still needs a little work
the best paul
amazing quality video as usual paul. no1 lure making chanell on yt
thanks
tnx alot Paul you have done it again!!
I am not sure if that is good or bad
+Paul Adams (The Handmade Fisherman)
:)
If you ask my wife its bad!
If you ask me....perfekt!! :)))
Thanks for another lure video, very well made make a frog
will be making some Miss Piggy bait
This is art not just a lure
Hey Paul!! I'm watching your Videos Pretty much from the beginning! In my eyes you are an Artist. And to answer your question: you Could make a Walk the Dog topwater stickbait. I'd Love to See that! Cheers Mate!
i am working on one now for the next video, and thanks for sticking with me
Awesome Paul well done mate
cheers
You should make some sort of top water spook or something like that. Great vid though!
spooks are in
Hi Paul, great video! Do you ever get any problems with the hook holders pulling out over time? Just trying to understand if this is a safe method to ensure you land that "monster fish" or would it be best to through wire them?
Very nice video!
Dude... You're amazing 👍🏻
I prefered the roll on the first tail. Been looking for a tail that causes that kind of roll
yes, what i liked about it was could feel more of the action through the braided line, thanks
Hey Paul! Great as always. I was thinking of maybe a squarebill crankbait? Love the vids and keep it up!
I may look at a wake bait with a square bill, thanks
You should make a popper!!!!
hola paul me encantan tus artificiales haces un increíble trabajo, quisiera hacerte una consulta que marca de pegamento usas para fijar las ojales, desde ya muchas gracias un saludo desde argentina
It is what ever is in the shop, that takes 5 minutes to cure
Hi Paul !!!!!!! Please make de shimano waxwing lure, your working with lures is awensom
Popper for the ocean.
What airbrush do you use because I'm looking for a cheap hobby kind of one and was hoping you could give some advice?😁😅
how about a popper, or a walking stick!?? Once again, great stuff!!
both i think, thanks
super vidéo 👍
A hotdog would work too.
+Paul Adams can you make a top water frog. =)
Well done once again!
cheers
Make a lipless crankbait
Can you make a "MS Slammer" type bait out of a broomstick?!! Keep up the amazing work!
