A while back somebody asked about home made lures.  Back when I was a lot younger, I dabbled in making several.  Lost some over the years, but I found these 2 hiding in an unused tackle box.
And yes, they caught a few fish.



Kinda dirty and rusty now from sitting around all these years.  Probably 45 or more.

I used to get catalogs at the tackle stores, find some wood and start whittling away.  That and some model paint.
