Lure Making a Natural Wood Grain Crankbait Fishing Lure

[@Chubz69]

Dude I can binge watch all your videos in one day lol. I don’t have an ounce of artistic creativity in my body, but I want to give this a try.

[@TreysArt]

I believe anyone can be an artist personally. But as far as lure making goes just jump into it. Everybody’s lures aren’t that good at first but you will learn fast especially if you’re watching the KZbin guys making baits. That’s where I’ve learned most of what I know.

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Beautiful natural colors. Superb Trey.

[@TreysArt]

Thank you

[@Ice-ri5mb]

Could Make This One Again This Is Beautiful And Hope You Keep Making These I Just Recently Started fishing then your channel popped up This is Truly A work Of Art And You Are Truly Blessed

[@TreysArt]

Thank you so much. I’m sure I will be making a similar one in the future.

[@robertcornelius3514]

It ended up with a good wiggle. Nice work

[@troycote4503]

That came out killer! That technique with the torch made that thing pop!

[@TreysArt]

I love using the torch. It adds a lot of character but keeps it natural.

[@MrChancebandit]

Man the effort you put into that I'm sure every cast is a near heart attack hoping you dont lose it .

[@TreysArt]

If feels like that sometimes but after losing a ton of baits you get a little numb to it lol.

[@MrChancebandit]

@@TreysArt lol I hear ya. I just got into this art . Like literally today I made a gorge hook. Spent 2 hours perfecting it ...20 mins of fishing lots of bites but no fish . Then big bite a snap hahaha first thought was ...looks like another 2 hours. It hurt hahaha

[@MrChancebandit]

@@TreysArt but also amazing baits man . Hope too be as good as you ine day

[@TreysArt]

Yep that’s kinda sums it up lol it’s a great hobby though. Can be expensive but just be creative with what you have. That makes it more gratifying in my opinion.

[@MrChancebandit]

@@TreysArt ya it's very relaxing I find . I find a knife can get me anything just takes alot of time . And time is what I have. Happy trails hope too see some new baits from you . Cheers

[@davidsullivan27]

Beautiful bait! Love the torch effect. I believe it looks very natural. Bet you've caught a lot of fish on it. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@whitevenom3005]

Hello, I am an amateur wood carver. Could you please share the measurements and angle degrees you used for the lure? In this way, I can make and test a lure like in the video. Thanks in advance :)

[@TreysArt]

Sorry I don’t have measurements or anyone for this lure. It was just a free hand project. I would go with about a 45 degree for the lip. That should give it a good wobble.

[@Спиннингбезграниц]

Great video my friend.

[@TreysArt]

Thank you👍🏼

[@CraftsmanontheLake]

How did it track so well with no weight in the belly? Super nice lure for just burnishing it with a torch like that. Very unique and just, well, pretty.

[@TreysArt]

I think it was mainly because of how dense the wood was. The action actually wasn’t perfect but even adding 1 gram to it would have made it sink so I just went without any and it turned out ok.

[@markrigg6623]

I've noticed pretty much all American lure makers add lead to the belly. But its only really nessercary if you need to make the lure heavier. Lighter more buoyant lures are perfectly capable of swimming in a straight stable path. Here in Australia traditionally we haven't used lead in the belly routinely.

[@assasin242]

[@TreysArt]

Never thought about it. I’ll look into now though

[@emilycrocker8622]

Did that plexiglass help with hydrodynamics making it move more like a fish? Trying to figure out what purpose it served. Came out great!

[@TreysArt]

Yes it basically interferes with the flow of water causing the lure to have a side to side swim as it moves through the water.

[@emilycrocker8622]

@@TreysArtThat’s awesome! Thanks for the reply!

What would happen if you grab the. Disco ball

[@TreysArt]

Bad things. I would have to have a few beers first.

[@TreysArt]

Actually.. now that I think about it. If I were to grab the disco ball hard enough I could possibly transfer the full rotation to my entire body and the universe may very well implode. Nobody must grab the disco ball.

[@jamesfreda1903]

Where do you get your water slide eye decal? They look great!

[@TreysArt]

Thank you. I just looked up fish eyes on google, made the pictures black and grey, then copied them a bunch onto one sheet of paper then printed them.

Where can I get those eyes

[@TreysArt]

I bought these particular ones at bass pro shop. I can’t remember the brand though.

[@campigomez]

Hi. What kind of wood do you use? Thanks!!

[@TreysArt]

Normally I use poplar for most things. This video was a piece wisteria I believe.

[@Trb_sebek]

What is the best type of wood to do a lure from it?

[@TreysArt]

Lighter more buoyant wood will give you the best action generally. Like balsa or basswood. Most of the time I use poplar just because that’s easy for me to get. I’ve her Tupelo is really good for carving but I’ve never used it before.

You should definitely take the plunge 👍🏼 and the pens I’m using are pigma microns. I normally use the size .005 or .01

[@TreysArt]

I normally use poplar but I started out with pine. Only prob with pine is the grain in the wood is really wide and it’s a bit difficult to carve. I’d stick with the balsa if I were you. But maybe try and find something a little harder if your needing to make a master for molding.
