Making Metal Fishing Lure Fins

For this lure making video I wanted to do something innovative and try to add some metal flappy fins to the side of a Crankbait.
Overall I’m happy with how it turned out but not so happy with the amount of flap I got out of them.
Below is a list of some of the tools and materials I use.

Great job mate! Kind a rattle effect......but...without rattle😂😂😂....and absolutely nice look.

[@billie869]

That is slick! I like the way u made the fins. Very clever

[@wayned5872]

Tom, maybe put a bit of a curve in the fins? Looks great, very nice build

[@TreysArt]

That would be good to try. Thank you.

[@wayned5872]

@@TreysArt ur welcome
Btw ill ask u to look for Klenk tin snips much better tin snips that i used in my few years as a hvac mechanic

[@TreysArt]

I appreciate the heads up. These are pretty good. A sub sent them to me a while back. Just kinda hard cutting the really small stuff.

[@wayned5872]

@@TreysArt small thin stuff like that, try a pair of bandage/ trauma shears they are relatively cheap & some better ones can cut a penny in half ur lookin under $25 for cost

[@TreysArt]

Cool I’ll be on the lookout for some of them for sure.

Hey can i ask what pen you are using? Really like that effect.

[@TreysArt]

The brand on the one I bought is called Molotow. Look up liquid chrome pen.
