Handcrafted wooden fishing lures


Lure Components and Sources
When I started making lures one of my first challenges was finding sources for all the materials I needed.After two years of trial and error on various components and sources; I developed a list of all the components and sources for all the materials I needed. In this ebook I list the company names, addresses, phone numbers and web addresses for everything I talk about in the ebook regarding making wooden lures.

Basic Tools and Raw Materials For Making Wooden Lures
Another way you will benefit from my experiences has to do with the tools and materials you will need. As I was starting out I spent countless hours and dollars on tools and raw materials that I eventually scrapped. I have tried many kinds of hand tools, wood, and coating products to come up with what has worked best for me . With the basic set of woodworking tools that I describe you can either make just a few lures for your own use or you can make hundreds to start your lure business. In this ebook I list and describe the exact use of the tools that I have found to be best for wooden lure making. I will show you where you can find some of the hard-to-find tools that are essential for making wooden lures. You will save many times the cost of the ebook by not purchasing useless equipment like I did. Take advantage of my experiences and methods that I have found by trial and error in many cases.

Best Wood For Making Wooden Lures
You may think that finding wood to make lures from would not be a problem. My guess is that there is at least a 95% probability that you will not find the best wood for lure making available in your home town. I will give you the sources for great wood for lure making.

Painting Lures
There are many, many kinds of paints, varnishes, lacquers, varathanes,shellacs,and other coating materials available to paint your lures with. I know because I think I have tried most of them. Many of them work fine except for one of two key reasons. I will show you the best materials that will result in beautiful as well as durable lures. You will learn what works best for the base coat and what works best for the color coat. If you have used a two part epoxy for a final clear coat before but did not like some of the negative aspects of using a two part epoxy; I have great news for you. You will learn of the source of a great one part epoxy that does a beautiful job on lures for the final clear coating. You will love it and it is so easy to use.

Painting Processes
Getting the right coating products is just about one-third of the painting process. In this ebook you will learn all the things that I have learned regarding the paint application equipment/tools as well as the processes of getting the paint on the lures that I have learned through trial and error. I will show you the best paint application processes for all the steps in the painting of lures. I have wasted a lot of paints just selecting the best thinners for them. You will get all that info here.Some of these paint materials you will not be able to find in your home town. I will show you where to find them. Quality paint jobs on your lures can be a daunting task. I can make it a lot easier for you and save you much wasted time and money.

What you will learn in the lure painting sections alone is worth many times the cost of the ebook.
