Custom Lures

[lawle102]

i have got a few questions for the guys who know about custom lure making. I would like to attempt to make my own custom lures. I would like to know what type of equipment I would need, paint, etc... I will have some extra cash this spring as I am a single male and hopefully uncle sam won't hit me too hard this year come tax time. I want to start with some crank baits and spoons. Not spoons for salmon trolling though, for pike. If anyone can give me some links to sites that have this equipment or give me an idea where to search all help will be appreciated! thanks

I've only made spoons & flies for trout & salmon trolling so not much help in building your target species. Try this site for lure making stuff. Should get you started.

I think both up-north & Jann's have books on how to make lures.
