hardbait problems

Recommended Posts

Out of my first 8 baits only 2 work good. The rest don't float right or when they dive they come up to the top and spin. I cut them out of basswood with a bandsaw , file them , and then sand them. Any suggestions? I'm getting frustrated. :?:

I would have been happy if 2 of my first 8 lures worked! It took me about 20 lures and month of building to figure it out. If I would have paid closer attention to what the experts on this board told me I would gotten there sooner. I still don't have all the answers but I have a better understanding and it is not as frustrating.

Don't worry about your paint jobs at this point. That will improve with time. None of us had perfect paint jobs when we started and most of us, I believe, still screw up paint jobs from time-to-time. Besides, I have caught fish on lures with no paint at all during testing phases.
