KennyP Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello Tackle Underground! My name is Kenny and I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I have been lurking for a few months, wanted to see what you guys are all about. You all seem to have a real helpful community going on here. I am long time bass fisherman that likes tinkering and making things with my hands. I decided to give lure making a try after finding a book my Dad had on the subject. I finally got the guts to give it a try so I have been visiting various sites reading everything I can. At the same time I have been looking for a place I can ask questions and learn, always willing to learn. I am leaning towards topwater, cranks and especially swimbates. Hopefully sometime here in the near future I will have something to contribute here on the forum. Thanks everyone Kenny P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRammit Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Welcome man! Topwaters are a good place to start imo, good practice of the overall build process without the tedious adjustments required on other baits Crankbaits are the fun part!... You're not making a lure, you're building a functional machine! Swimbaits scare me... So many pieces and parts to screw up!... Maybe some day i will face this fear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyP Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for the welcomes everybody. Welcome to TU Kenny - ask away. Dave Thank you for the offer, I have lots of questions. I am going to hold off for a bit longer though, I am still looking around seeing what there is to find here. There is a lot of good information to sort through, and from what I have read already I have quite a bit to learn. Welcome man!Topwaters are a good place to start imo, good practice of the overall build process without the tedious adjustments required on other baitsCrankbaits are the fun part!... You're not making a lure, you're building a functional machine!Swimbaits scare me... So many pieces and parts to screw up!... Maybe some day i will face this fear I have started shaping a few things, nothing over the top, I just want to see how difficult a few types of wood are to work with. I am hoping to start actually making a few "functional" top water projects here in the near future, we'll see how that goes. As far as swim baits go, yeah I 'm probably shooting for the moon but they are eye catching, it is the realism that does it for me. Catching a fish on one would be pretty assume!
