Made a giant inline spinner for Pike. No idea how it swims. Any predictions?3mo ⋅ zapfoe ⋅ r/lurebuilding
I made a fully functioning magikarp swimbait, water was too murky to get a good vid though. Would anyone seriously try to use this?3yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
First attempt at making my own bait after binging videos on YouTube for the last 12 months or so. Lots of work, but oh so rewarding!1yr ⋅ Mushrunes_ ⋅ r/lurebuilding

Did my first trade show last month. Getting ready for an even bigger one this coming weekend.1yr ⋅ King_Baboon ⋅ r/lurebuilding
New pattern I just painted. I’m struggling with a name for this. Can anyone think of a good name?1yr ⋅ King_Baboon ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Boyfriend jokes that his name is “slayer” when fishing...so I rolled with it. Enamel model car paint on these.11mo ⋅ stupidwerld ⋅ r/lurebuilding
My bait got shouted out by the Baitmaker himself, and I feel like the king of the world!3yr ⋅ whydidIaskmyselfthat ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Recently rewatched Marling's baby musky video and tried my own... I think it's one of the best natural paint-jobs I've done so far.2yr ⋅ wallyTHEgecko ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Made one that I'm actually proud of and happoy enough with to post. It swims perfectly, too.1yr ⋅ letmehittheatm ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Made a 4-inch, 3/4 ounce glide/jerk bait from poplar and decided to try my hand at a photo finish for the first time(emerald shiner). I'm loving how it turned out.2yr ⋅ El_espectro ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Quick dragonfly buzzbait I made to see if I can target all the bass I see jumping out of the water for dragonflies2yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Saw a picture of a red arowana posted to another sub a few days ago. Thought it was cool so I made this.3yr ⋅ wallyTHEgecko ⋅ r/lurebuilding

From January 1st I’m only going to use baits I’ve made for the next 365 days. Wish me luck! 🍀3mo ⋅ TheZamboon ⋅ r/lurebuilding
First lure I’ve made , messed up a little but I’m glad how it turned out.1yr ⋅ crimsiin ⋅ r/lurebuilding
I guess when the lure building bug gets you, it really gets you... These are all my raw wood baits. Im thinking I'll get an airbrush soon though.1yr ⋅ brodieodie ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Only took about 20 hours to print but best one so far. What is your opinion?1yr ⋅ RulerOfGoodAndEvil ⋅ r/lurebuilding
I think I have the a half decent edible biopolymer recipe figured out. It's tear resistant, has the right feel, the right action, shoots in a mould well, won't melt in my hand, holds up in water, has a the right fall rate... Made entirely from kitchen ingredients. Back on the water for more tests.3yr ⋅ seydoggy ⋅ r/lurebuilding
it comes back straight... with absolutely no wobble 😅 next time I guess1yr ⋅ hellhamper12 ⋅ r/lurebuilding
I’ve never done a perch paint scheme before so I thought why not make a nice jerkbait?2yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
New to the group so I thought I’d share my latest design. I was shooting for a leopard frog style pattern. 🐸3yr ⋅ CarlPoppaGrimes ⋅ r/lurebuilding
After so much great feedback, I decided to build a batch! I messed up 10, but here's 6 that are looking good!1yr ⋅ brodieodie ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Made these two rattling lipless crankbaits yesterday. Caught one on the bluegill pattern this morning.3yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
After building the largest lure I've ever made, I thought I'd try to make the smallest.3yr ⋅ wallyTHEgecko ⋅ r/lurebuilding
A little Watermelon Rind Shad. Just waiting on some inline single hooks for!2yr ⋅ mugenwoe ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Painted this the other night. Love how it turned out. Waiting on eyes to arrive and can’t wait to see it clear coated.3yr ⋅ Al_B_Darn ⋅ r/lurebuilding
OK so they’re technically not lures but I’ve finally finished my coffee table setup2yr ⋅ reparosai ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Messing around with this clear coat varnish powder. You can see my reflection in the jighead. Very cool stuff.2yr ⋅ train_spotting ⋅ r/lurebuilding
“The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history.” Woodrow Wilson. It is not perfect and I made a lot of mistakes. So true to life and I love it.3yr ⋅ Al_B_Darn ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Made this glidebait a few days ago. It's 9 1/2 inches long and weighs 7.2oz.4yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
A few crappie jigs I made the other day 👍🏻 which color is your favorite?1yr ⋅ M3_Jigs ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Got the micro painted and applied epoxy. I used acrylic and hand painted it, then black spray paint on the top. It’s the first lure I’ve ever painted and completed. I guess it’s ready to fish now. What do you guys think?1yr ⋅ way_bandy_3 ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Decided to get into lure building as an outlet during COVID. I’m learning a lot and enjoying the process.3yr ⋅ wilkraft ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Been putting together some single hook spinners. What do y’all think?3yr ⋅ ohgawdbeez ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Crankbait I made to test out airbrushing gills, may have went a bit overboard. Made out of a chunk of pine I found that had wood grubs in it lol.3yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Stumbled across a Marling Baits video last March during quarantine, turned into a new obsession. Still amazes me how the smallest adjustments in weight/joint placement can make or ruin the action.3yr ⋅ BigNickDiggr ⋅ r/lurebuilding
First time trying to carve a face on a lure, any advice on how to make it look more natural?1yr ⋅ 6andrew_h ⋅ r/lurebuilding
My humble first attempt at a hand carved lure. No clue what kind of action it will have. I was going for a shallow dive/wake bait. Every thing is frozen here so it will be a few months before I can test it.3yr ⋅ krink85 ⋅ r/lurebuilding
I won’t be able to use this for months due to the ice, but I am pleased with how the first (blue/green) and second (yellow/orange) attempts turned out.2yr ⋅ BBQBengal ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Bluegill crank bait i carved out of poplar. I plan on attaching some kind of tail fin, anyone got any ideas what to make it out of?2yr ⋅ starchy88 ⋅ r/lurebuilding
All right, there's no clear coat or eyes, yet, and I know I have a couple bubbles in the paint. But I did this all with rattle cans. Any constructive criticism is appreciated.1yr ⋅ huskerguy_07 ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Tried for a baby trout design with my first jointed lure, hopefully it functions2yr ⋅ Gimmesome_ofyourtots ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Started out as a joke, when the fish aren't biting, use dynamite, but I decided to make a few. First time attempting to make a lure. This is the result. Gonna make a few more for my fishing buddies for Christmas.4yr ⋅ chitownphishead ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Smallest crankbait I've made, that works properly. Didn't have any smaller hooks.1yr ⋅ timbazi ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Still a WIP, but feeling good so far after a single lazy Saturday of carving.3yr ⋅ wallyTHEgecko ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Made a rainbow trout walking bait/ popper hybrid. It walks more than it pops but it does spray jets of water forward which is kind of cool.4yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
First attempt at a bluegill pattern. Unfortunately, the color shift doesn’t show in camera.3yr ⋅ wilkraft ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Heres a few new cranks i finished couple of days ago. I mostly tend to make bigger baits so it was fun to swich things up and make something smaller. These are 8cm and 34g3yr ⋅ SolarBaits ⋅ r/lurebuilding
Some more crank baits to see what colors the bass want, left some of the wood grain exposed on the bottom one for the first time in a while2yr ⋅ Whiskey-Rose ⋅ r/lurebuilding
