I haven't made any more progress on my bait because I'm trying to get the hardware I need and other supplies. So what kind of hardware would I need? Like what size hook eyes and what size eyes? What do I use for the ballast weight? What type of lip? Sorry for the questions in just trying to figure out everything I need.Thanks!!

I just got home and carved this out of balsa wood. I tried for a walk the dog type of topwater. How's it look? Any suggestions?

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it! To further explain the project it's called Capstone. It's with my English class but every senior has to do it as their Senior Project. It is a product and a paper and it's supposed to do something new to you. My product I want to be a group of hopefully 3-5 well made, aesthetically pleasing wooden baits. And school won't fund this but my parents are willing to pay for what I need for it. I'm looking at airbrushes at Hobby Lobby to be able to get the 40% off coupons and save a little. My parents are prepared to buy an airbrush and compressor though which I think will be the most expensive purchase? I'll definitely look up the YouTube videos though. I'll probably try to start with topwater baits also because I've heard they're the easiest? I'll definitely keep you posted on how I'm doing and will be asking a lot of questions! Thanks for the support!

Hello, this is my first post on Tackle Underground and I was told to come here for some information I have a year long project for school and have chosen to make fishing lures out of wood. This is completely new to me and I want to learn as much as I can. So basically I'm asking for any advice any of you guys have on things like airbrushes, paints, compressors, woods, tools, shapes, accessories, epoxies, and anything else that goes into making a wooden fishing lure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ryan
