Crankbait Fishing Lure

3 Tips To Make Fishing Lures At Home

During non fishing days because of bad weather, the anglers who are always ready to learn something new, could find it interesting to sit at home and make lures of different types. It is not a difficult task to make fishing lures if you have patience and a little bit of creativity. You could make these lures at home with resources that are around the house and if you have to procure some of the materials they are not expensive at all.

1. Some ideas on how to make lures:
Spoons: As you can make out from the name itself are lures that can be made from spoons of different shapes and sizes. You could try buying second hand spoons of different sizes from a second hand shop and you would have a sizeable collection. With a propane torch or hand torch the metal part of the spoon should be heated and with a pair of cutting pliers or hammer, flatten it out and until you have a consistent shape. Once this cools you can cut the handle off from the spoon. With a small sized bit of drill, bore a hole in the handle on the top end and bottom end of the spoon that has been shaped. Connect a hook to the lower hole and a swivel and leader to the top hole. You could either paint the spoon any colour or leave it unpainted too, in fact you can make whatever design or colour you want on the spoon.

2. Methods of making Minnows and Crank baits

You need a piece of plank or of doweling to make minnows or Crank baits. Outline a design with your most preferred crankbait body, or on the other hand you could just be imaginative. The idea is to maintain the shape of the crankbait body symmetrical on both sides to make it cut through the water with the right movement.

3. The tools to make lures at home
The tools that you would need to make lures at home are a small hand or skill saw, a wood file, a swivel, some hooks, epoxy glue and sand paper. Position the dowel flat and cut the required span of the body. Draw a centre line down the “back” of the body and on the wood, you will be able to maintain the balance and keep the shape too in this way. The fish shape should be tapering so begin sand papering the contour from the center point. Bore two or more small holes in the middle line of the front and put in the treble hook in the hole at the back and in the hole at the front put a weight, after the shape is smoothened to the right form. Glue it in with epoxy glue into both the holes and let it set completely. If you want to create a rim on the crankbait, slash a niche in the bottom front of the lure and put in a commercial rim using the glue. You could if you want connect a tail and a swivel too.

Once you are through you could paint the crankbait with your lucky or favorite colors. You could gather the kids to get involved in this activity of making fishing lures or have the adults in it too. Even if the kids do find it a bit difficult to do this they will still enjoy the whole experience and like the idea of being drawn in, in the final part of painting the lures.
