*Altogether a well made lure **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s the skirt seems to stay on well and the whole thing is bigger than I thought it would be. The 2 metal have a nice plating on them as well.*
its amazing what the proper jigs and a lather can do combined with the hands of an expert like this... great job keep up the good work... i can tell you hands have taken a beating over the years through the fishing and fabricating you put them through... i respect that and your artistic craftsmanship, i take my hat off to you... id love to have some of those basic wood working tools in my garage, i think ill try and find a cheap little lathe to start testing some lure designs and painting
mr. Adams thank u i still geting ur book i truly beleive it will be a big plus i only been using lathe couple months and i do make poppers but i want to make a few different ones and i agree cut the lure the lenght u want it and make it that way until i saw ur video i was puting long pieces in to make a bait but no more i love doing ur way and have enjoyed it more thank u very much u are a true craftman
I think my ebook will help you get started with lure making.Here are some of the lures that I make; see the link to my ebay store. stores.ebay.com/sunrisetacklestore Good luck,Kermett
Kermitt, this is amazing. I wish you had more videos that showed the entire process from start to finish. This is really something I want to learn to do. I already tie my own flies, but now I would like to get into lure making as well. Where would you suggest I go to start? What kind of wood do you use? Know any good books or websites that would help get me started? I would greatly appreciate any info you can give me!
Hi, I mostly use eastern red cedar. You can get a lot more info on how to make wooden top water lures at my site;www.woodenluremaking.com/ This will take youi from A to Z on making wooden lures. Have fun,Kermett
yes sir i have a harbor freight 8x12 lathe i was wanting to know can i use a tail stock spindle on both ends of this lathe to make both ends of lure the same without having to stop and turn lure around thank u for any suggestions
Yes, you can do that. I flip the lure simply because I like to work the cutting tool from the center to the right of the lure as I am finishing it. I just have a better feel for the cutting tool by doing it that way. Good luck,Kermett
que madera se usa para hacer señuelos? la madera balsa parece que flota mucho pero teniendo en cuenta los dientes de algunos peces me parece demasiado fragil la madera balsa
mr. Adams do u pre treat ur lures with any sealer the reason i ask that some people dont do it they just put 2 ton expoy on after they prime and paint the lure whats would u suggest thank u for any suggestion
Hi James, About the only lures that I treat with a sealer are the ones that I drill thru the center for thru wire constructed lures. I use MinWax Wood Sealer in the Natural color. I submerge and let the lure soak for about 30 minutes. I wipe completely dry with I take the out. I then let hang and dry for a day before I apply the base coat white. Good luck,Kermett
The next step is to drill a hole in the belly to attach a swivel to the wire. This is how you attach belly hook and the tail hook is attached with a wire wrap loop.
I heard he will pusblish it online soon, so you might want to grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great plans and ideas.
Sorry, but this has got to best the best example of how NOT to use a lathe. So many things wrong, least of all you keep hitting the tail spindle with your (regular flat not a gouge) chisel which is really bad for it, not to mention really dangerous.

I just access to a lathe & I’m looking forward to learning something new in woodworking. What wood is mostly used in lure bodied? Cedar or basswood?

ミツキ. 。 LOL 😄
can you use hard woods to make fishing lures

mr. Adams do u pre treat ur lures with any sealer the reason i ask that some people dont do it they just put 2 ton expoy on after they prime and paint the lure whats would u suggest thank u for any suggestion

What size of lathe are you using
Yes you can but the hardwood is best for lures that are intended for use beneath the surface. It may not work very well for top water lures.
The next step is to drill a hole in the belly to attach a swivel to the wire. This is how you attach belly hook and the tail hook is attached with a wire wrap loop.
@UnitedPonys
The wood is eastern red cedar
Thumbs up man!
wow! is that a bass in your profile pic?
+jack the gamer yes 12 lb 3oz
+Bulldogfishmaster no way that thinfs frickin huge what did you catch it on?
+jack the gamer I believe a zoom dead ringer (June bug color).
What kind of wood are you using?
Eastern red cedar
what kind of wood is that?
Then do a search for a video;"Buildng a Lordship A40 fishing lure".This wll show you most of the steps to build a thru wire constructed lure.
I heard he will pusblish it online soon, so you might want to grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great plans and ideas.
Nah. Stay away from that crappy book.
Harbor Freight has a mini lathe on sale for $125.
The tool I am using to remove most of the wood is a skew I believe.
The bit in the other video is 1/8 inch diameter by 6 inches long.
Lure making on a lathe
@THEAMAZINGTJ Eastern red cedar.
Woodprix is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
this guy is definitely not a woodworker there is soo much wrong with what he is doing
I recommend woodglut to every beginner and not only.
Kool look at his subs he has 1234
On the Stodoys site you can find many plans for this type of thing.
