Between the lines of your post I can read , that you intend making your own lures mainly because of money-saving reasons
.
Well , in my opinion , our passion for carving and painting lures is not that much cheaper than buying lures in a shop , since you need to invest into a lot of material , when you get more and more perfect through the time and would wish your lures to get more perfect as well
.
Of course you might start out from scrab idling around in the garage , but trust me , it won't satisfy you for a long time .
To get more info about how to make wooden lures , you must take up the task and browse through the forums here , it might take some time , but you can already get a lot of info that way , to later specify about some questions left to ask
.
A wooden vibrating lure would never perform like a commercial plastic one , simply because you could never place as many rattlin' BB's into it , so it would be a lot more "quieter" .
But if you still wanna try it , just copy the shape of a commercial in wood , utilize screweyes as hookhangers and you need to place a lot of weight under the chin and belly of that lure to achieve proper function , that is , what I think is the easiest way !
But if you only want to save money , and you're not into the craze of lurecarving(not yet ?) , you might as well obtain plastic lure kits from big mail order stores , these you just have to glue together and paint them , and they get close to commercial lures .
Check
http://www.luremaking.com for this , but there might be others , that I don't know .
Good Luck , diemai
