Carving a Cicada Creeper Lure out of Wood: a step by step how to guide

Having never made a topwater walking bait before, I really enjoyed the process of bringing this handmade fishing lure to life. I especially liked carving all of the detail into wood and painting the intricate cicada pattern. If you want to DIY your own fishing lure, follow along with me on this tutorial as I make this fishing lure from start to finish.

I've watched several videos on making a Cicada lure, your detail carving is the best, in my opinion, better than Marling Baits, The Four Foot Workshop, and mine included! Nice work Zim!

That reminds me of the Heddon Tiny Crazy Crawler if I remember the name correctly, it was my first top water lure I ever owned. Gray mouse design. Brings back memories.
