Synopsis
To catch a fish with a lure that you made yourself is one of the most satisfying experiences an angler can have. This book explains, in text and drawings, how to craft fishing lures that are more effective than those you buy. By making your own lures you'll beat the high cost of tackle, while developing a creative and satisfying hobby that requires just a few tools and easily obtained materials. Lurecraft shows you how to design lures for your hometown waters, so they're better suited to local conditions and catch more fish. Another advantage of carrying handmade lures is purely psychological: it's only human to not want to lose expensive tackle, so when we fish with store-bought lures we tend to hesitate before casting around rocks, branches, and other obstructions. But it's the risky spots that offer the most fish, and with a good supply of handmade lures you'll have the confidence to take those chances and reap the rewards. Here you'll find instructions for building plugs, surface lures and poppers, spinners, spoons and buzzers, jigs, trout lures, steelhead and salmon lures, and lures for big water fishing. The author explains the science of fish attraction - why lures appeal to fish - and covers tools, materials, and basic techniques for working with wood, metal, wire, and paint. Clear illustrations and detailed instructions show you the design of each lure, the materials with which to build it, the procedure for crafting and finishing it, and the appearance of the finished product., Make your own lures to beat the high cost of tackle and develop a creative and satisfying hobby. Learn how to craft fishing lures that are more effective than those you buy, with detailed instructions and hundreds of superb illustrations. Covers plugs, surface lures and poppers, spinners, spoons and buzzers, jigs, trout lures, steelhead and salmon lures, and lures for big water fishing. Includes a step-by-step guide to carving, painting and finishing lures, along with a colorful photo gallery of hand-carved lures., To catch a fish with a lure that you made yourself is one of the most satisfying experiences an angler can have.

    I buy used blu ray movies almost exclusively. When a great title comes to me, at a great price, responsibly shipped in bubblewrap, I know the seller's smart, and responsible, and their efforts are worthy of our business. A++, all around..! Thanks, Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina..! Let's do this again..! 👋😁👌

    from reading his feedback, i see this seller always UNDER-rates the condition of his books. they are usually in BETTER condition than listed. he also ships fast. so one can be confident that the condition of a book from this seller will be AT LEAST as good as described, usually BETTER, and shipped promptly. the book i just received is in EXCELLENT condition, but was only listed as "acceptable". wish all book sellers were as honest as this one. won't hesitate to buy from him again!

    No stock photo in the listing, which was ultimately not needed due to the accurate description of being 'still in manufacturer wrapping'. Product was in new condition, being listed by the seller as like-new (perhaps because of a slight dent in the slipcover). Shipped very fast. Very happy with my purchase. Would purchase from seller again.

  • Almost worthless

    Book does not explain, step by step, how to make lures, spoons, or spinners. No list of necessary materials, no list of available materials for sale or where to get them, no list of available sizes of anything. All the book has is black and white drawings of the various items and descriptions of them. If you want to actually make your own terminal tackle, your best bet is to watch the how-to videos on the web sites of the retailers who sell the stuff.
