I will be making a fishing lure. I love to fish, as It is one of my passions. With summer rolling around I thought I would show you what it is like to make your own fishing lure.

Supplies

1' 2x 4" wood plank
Pencil
Saw
Sandpaper
3 15/16" eye screws
acrylic paint
C clamp
drill
assortment of drill bits
paint brush
2 treble hooks

*Note* I do not have a saw in the picture due to the fact it is a table saw.

Step 1: Sketch the Shape

Sketch out the shape of a lipless crankbait onto a 1' 2" x 4"

Step 2: Cut the Wood

Cut the wood down to the rough shape of the bait

Step 3: Sand

Sand the 2" side of the bait down to 1 3/8" and continue to sand down to the more precise shape of the bait

Step 4: Mark for the Screws

Mark on your bait where you are going to drill the eye screws into the wood. I chose at the back for a hook, at the top front for the line and at the bottom middle for another hook.

Step 5: Drill a Hole for the Screw

Make some guide holes in the wood with a 5/64" drill bit where you are going to drill. From there you will take 3/32" and make the holes bigger and than you will insert the eye screws into the holes you have made and secure them.
