Capital Fishing Lures Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Is topwater baits all you can make on them? Im pretty sure thats how you spell lathe? Edited January 4, 2010 by Capital Fishing Lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlebait Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I have personally only made topwaters but I have seen other turned baits. I seen crankbaits that where turned. Search for some websites that have antique lures and you should be able to find some examples. Hope this will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still tying to perfect this myself but he has a video on it swimming on here somewhere and a post on the specs.You can also make gliders on the lathe also, I have a few cant remember the name of the bait though.You can also make pullbaits on the lathe.

diemai Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 @ Capital Fishing Lures Like turtlebait stated , check those lure collectors sites , lots of pictures there of vintage lures , a lot of these were lathe-turned either , ........I've used a lot of these oldies for examples as well ! Here is a link :My link Click on "collectors links" on left column . And here is the thread , that jamie is refering to : http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/17724-my-latest-lure-test-video/page__hl__rush%20tango You may also check my gallery uploads , I wrote a bit of explanation there about working processes ,....... also took some pics of some basically lathe-turned diving baits , that I could find on a short term and enclosed them in this post . There is also a tutorial here on TU about how to make a copy of a vintage "Bomber" lure , check the tut section for it ! If you have any further questions , feel free to post ! good luck , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
