FishHeadRic Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I know there's a bunch of handy fellas on here. So who's making their own lures? Spinner baits are ease to do up. Hand carved poppers, Bucktails.... Let's see your handy-work!!! I'll start off with one. This is a popper I did for one of my friends. It's made of yellow ceader and weighed in just over 2os without the hardware. Built a shop in my basment with a lathe so I can turn my own plugs now. Need something to do during the winters here. Getting pretty good with airbrushing layers. Thru-wired with a 150lb spro belly swivel. FHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That looks excellent. Does it have a concave lip for popping? It's hard to tell in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That looks excellent. Does it have a concave lip for popping? It's hard to tell in the photo. I think it does because I can't see an eye in the photos either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishHeadRic Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks Glen. Joey, yes it does have one... wouldn't be a propper popper if it didn't! Roy, It's funny cause I was looking for that exact same post the other day. When I go to my profile and try to pop up my older posts it only goes back so far. I still have one of the swimmers you sent me a while ago. Orange jointed tiger w/ a lexan lip. Do you ever have any issues with your baits swelling or taking on water. Are you sealing them prior to paint? FHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
