Rapala Lures

Lure Making

Do you know, how to make fishing lures ? Well do you?
My quess is that you don´t know.
You should consider lure making as a hobby because, this hobby is rare and unique and interesting and ….
I should warn you tough, when you start this hobby, your first lures will proablably be not as good as Rapala lures, but this isn´t what i wanted do warn you about, if you start this hobby, then there are no going back, this hobby is more addictice than fishing itself.
 How can i start?What do i need?
 First you need tools, most of them you proablably have in your garage. 

  • You will need wood( Balsawood would be the best)
  • You will need a knife for molding the lure, ( Normal kitchen knife isn´t a good option, and beware knife can be dangerous)
  • different sandpapers, 
  • hacksaw, 
  • some copper wire,
  • drill,
  • fishing weight,
  • some plastic,  ( for the lures lip )
  • waterproof glue,
  • waterproof varnish,
  • some aerosol paint or markers,
  • duck tape,
  • fishing rings,
  • hooks
  • time ( if you had time to read this article, the i hope you have time for lure making) 
     
    as you may see mos of the things listed in this list ar common.
    One thing about wood, us balsawood or something soft, because it´s hard to mold a lure out of normal wood.I as a enviromentalist don´t like do use balsawood, because it grows in the rainforest, but i solved the problem, i know a guy who knows someone, who knows a dude, who knows a furniture company owner.They use balsa to make furniture and they throw a lot of balsa away, so i take the balsa, what they don´t want.
     
  • how can i start, when i have the tools?
