lure painting

If you've ever thought about making your own lures, you may find this link invaluable.

B.Y.O.B., Build Your Own Baits will let you play around on their site and design you own lures!

Here's how it works--they begin by giving you five basic designs and then YOU pick how they're colored. You're allowed up to three body colors, plus designs-- even what type of hook you use.

Normally, if you think custom baits you equate that with a hefty price tag. Not so in this case. B.Y.O.B. lures, after you've been as creative as you heart allows, still only cost 5-8 bucks! An off-the-rack store bought lure costs that much!!!!!

Even if you don't craft lures from pieces of scrap lumber, this is the next best thing!

Until next time--watch your line and watch yourself!

Kismet, wow, it's a great game to play while fishing and making your own lures, James. I'm going salmon fishing tomorrow, there some salmon out there with my name on them.

LIke he says, did you read my comment? good one James?

You're not suggesting I'm not alluring r u, maybe just that I've not got the right angle, salmon coming up.

Did You Know This?

Very cool!

I wish that they made lures for fish other than bass, such as ling cod and salmon (if they ever open up the season out here again).

Good point, Ye-ha. In addition to the salmon, I think they should come up with a trout lure, and for the international market, as you suggested, the cod lure plus something for carp and whiting.

Crankbaits often work for other species but topwaters have to be chosen with more consideration for the intended prey.
