Here it is ready for a bass. I call em brown bettys

I'd just throw some bbs in there

Thanks, I just used a knife and a sandpaper by hand I don't even use a block it seems like it's easier if that makes any sense haha , I'll have to make a glider cause I forgot what they even did lol

Got it sealed , she doesn't need paint

Hey nesccesity is the mother of all invention! If you've never failed you've probably never tried !

One fine day last year my dog chewed up my Xbox controller so I took the joysticks out and cut the backsides down to a reasonable circular shape. Next I got my lure blank a coffin body popper I whittled and drilled a hole into the front face of the bait , you will want to sand it first and refine the front face so it will fit the joystick so you'll avoid cracking the wooden drill holes. When I went to insert it I played with the lip (joystick) angle and angled it slightly downward and glued the lip and a eyelet screw into the front face. Then I let it set up and put some jb weld around where the lip meets the lure and sanded it smooth. You can purchase those joysticks on Amazon for dirt cheap and the one I made worked as good as any popper you can buy. Use epoxy if your more comfortable with it than jb weld and super glue. The photos arent a finished bait just a guide if y'all decide to try it!!

When I first started I didn't have the patience required because I only used a knife, sandpaper and a few files, so I ended up drilling holes with files and cracked alot of smaller projects

New member to this site and lure building and enjoy everything fish related. I build wood lures mainly for bass and pike. One day I just thought I'd try my hand at building lures and have made about 10 that I actually caught fish with and tossed alot of failures.i don't get too fancy with my paint jobs or anything , I use firewood and whatever I got laying around to see what I can frankenstein together. Amazing information on this site !!

I am new to this site and build lures when I get time . This lure was originally a smaller jitter bug I carved with a razor blade , but I switched directions to a glider/dog walker. I added one small cone weight in the tail and a larger cone 3/4 of an inch ahead. The center of balance was the midpoint, after I added the weights it sits tail slightly down witch is what I wanted, but there's too much ice to fully test and fine tune. if anyone has any input id appreciate it! I'll post a pictures as well.

I have a really crappy handsaw and a razor blade and sand paper , a few files, a guy definitely earns it without decent tools lol

Reminds me of a bass Areno , the carved lip on a bass Areno is more aggressive on the ones I have compared to that
