Making a small batch of premium jointed through-wire musky lures. In this video we go from a board of wood to a beautiful and functional piece of musky catching equipment.
I purchase 3/4” western red cedar, then plane down to the desired thickness. Then, glue up the surfaced-planed wood. Both halves are equal, which aids as a centerline reference.
All that from a block of wood! I would be tempted in the show piece of the video having the cut blocks of wood on the perspex stand's slowly morphing into the end products. The directional scales look amazing, I enjoyed every second of the video especially when we got the chance to meet your beautiful young family, tooooooooo cute for words. BIG THUMB'S UP 👍😷👍

Hey question about the tools u use and where can I find it

Where do you get that thick wire from?
My local welding supply store. On jointed baits I wouldn't recommend a marine grade hardened stainless steel which can be bought from McMaster-Carr.
Just curious did you make the eye mold or make it?
I bought it from some guy in Europe who unfortunately no longer makes them. I've tried to order more molds. Guess I'll have to make my own.
Where do you sell your baits ?
Facebook group called "Fretthold Baits". I'm a small batch guy so there aren't sales very frequently but that's where you'll find them.
Awesome, I went and joined the group!
A lot of work , but amazing results !
