I am just concentrating on making lures for myself and trying out things that are new to me rather than making to sell. but i take it as a big compliment that you are offering to buy one, thanks
this white epoxy colour paste made by polycraft, I have started using it as it reduces the amount of white paint i have to add on darker coloured woods it also shows up any missing spots a lot easier than clear epoxy. Hope this helps cheers
Paul, another great video. I use my lathe a lot when turning my lures. And as always I learned something new: keeping the squared ends on the body when drilling the holes. At first I wondered why you used a template, but now I understand about the repeatability. Thanks for the tips!
Hey Paul I'm turning 11 and I think your homemade lures are the best made in all the video's I watched of homemade lure making and the best looking lures I want to make lures like you when I'm older
Incredible workmanship. Whole different experience catching fish on your own creation. Great activity here in the northeast, during snowy winter months.....longing for good fishing weather. Too bad about losing that one.....close them snaps!
Hola Paul. Greetings from Costa Rica. I am a tour guide and I was also a woodworker and now I am starting with my kids to go out fishing. I enjoyed your video so much. I think it was great and thanks for sharing. I do not know if I would enjoy more the making of the lure or going out fishing with it. You are welcome to come to Costa Rica and go out fishing with us. Take care,
I took my oldest son boat fishing and he spent nearly all the time on his gameboy thing until a pod of dolphins turned up. I have just got back from pike fishing and realised i like making lures when it rains and fishing with them when it is sunny. It rains alot over here. Good luck with the kids, thanks
thanks for the kind words, I am still wondering what to do when I grow up. Good luck with the lures, my son made his first fishing lure by chopping part of his hair off and stuck it to a hook. His Mum wasn't so happy about it.
OK , .....vice versa with me , ...I've ever been focussed on deep diving lures usable in one particular swim up to 45 feet deep , average more than 20 feet . But since I'm fishing different waters for a few years now , I'm also in need of shallow divers more and more . Can't promise you , but maybe some day I'd do a picture compilation of my homemade "pikie"-lipped lures , ...great idea , if I come to think of it ! Cheers , Dieter
western red cedar isn't normally this bad, i was using cheap decking spindles which even with the sharpest tools is not great to finish. But it is very light and gives a little more action to the lure but needs a thick base coat of epoxy to get anything like a decent finish. My father has a collection of hardwood scrap ends that turn beautifully but make very heavy lures.
i haven't really done much experimenting with deep diving lures, because most of the water i fish is under 2.5m 8ft and most a lot less. I made an alternate to the crankbait with straight out lip and moved the line eye forward but as yet i haven't been anywhere to make use of the depth, in my local waters in came back with a muddy lip and dragged along the bottom, but it would be good to see your version. cheers Dieter
This inkjet waterslide transfer paper and the spray is acrylic lacquer. I printed the image and then gave it 3 coats of lacquer letting dry between coats and slipped it off the paper in warm water. Cheers there is a link to my blog above, if you click on diy projects ion my blog, you should find a list of materials used
the decal paper is a special paper it has a layer that dissolves in water, something like pva, the spray is clear acrylic lacquer which fixes the printed image and projects it from the water. Hope this helps cheers, there is a full list of materials used if you follow the link to my blog.
I'm a fan of your work. You always do an excellent job thanks for sharing it helps a lot. I have a question. What's in the spray can that you pour on the decal sheet? Thanks again.
Your lures are fantastic and perfectly finished. I have often thought about trying to make my own more so after watching your videos. Just an idea for you if you marked out the profile of your lure on a sheet of card/aluminium, you could then offer it up to the lure in the lathe (I wish I had one) to see where to remove material. all the best.
Great insight on your work again , Paul , always enjoy watching , ......though I'd do mine a bit different . Great advantage to use square dowels , though pinewood is not the best choice IMO . Very nice vintage lure design , I really like this "pikie lip" style , .......did you know , that one can make them to dig down up to 5 metres by making the lower portion of the lip longer and pointing almost straight forward , ...but requires a slender and longer body for stability whilst swimming .
Recently made a "nudie"(unpainted lure) from western red cedar , presented to me by an American friend , really nice timber for lures . IMO local pinewood is a pain in the butt due to it's pronounced soft and hard grains . I'm often using abachewood for lures , for lathe-turning I'm purchasing certain broomsticks , but sadly do not know the name of timber . For your shallow waters lures made from less buoyant hardwood might swim too deep in the end , reduced options for trimming & action , too !
Throw a surfster lip on that, make the body more roundish, thru drill it on you lathe, make it a little shorter and put the weight behind the belly hook. Put a treble on the belly and a flag on the back. I make them like that for the freshwater plugs I make. They're just scaled down saltwater plugs. Both smallies and largemouth absolutely hammer them on top. It's the best shit ever!! Lol
First of all, thank you very much for the excellent videos! Secondly, when you did the logo, did you print that on "sticky back" paper, or was it the spray that made it possible to transfer like that???? Thanks!
I have tried using a cut out template before and it didn’t really work for me. I think because lathes although machines, require a lot of human input, in a way it feels like carving so I know the shape I am after but it is getting near the final dimensions that require some reference. This is in fact a copy lathe so I could of made a half profile template out of mdf and the lathe would of copied that more accurately than me, but then where is the fun in that. Thanks Paul Adams
just wondering, why did you put a coat of etex on before painting? as a sealer, I guess? I was having a problem with my lures cracking. well, the finish cracking to be precise. I realized it was due to the possible moisture in the wood, and expansion/contraction. some guys use a sanding sealer or other things. what I started using was a wood hardener. it definitely takes any moisture out of the wood, and it also puts a smooth sheen on, sealing the wood. since I started using that, I have had no more problems. beautiful lures, by the way.
Paul, Hey I am highly impressed with you video and how you went about doing things. I was curious to see if you could give me some insight on how you did the decal? I make custom duck calls and other custom things which I later finish with CA glue, and I want to be able to brand my things as well. This seems to work really well especially on smaller items. If you could please let me know your process and materials used, I would much appreciate it. I will definitely give you a shout out on my next video and hopefully send you some followers and business.
Hi Paul, at 12min 30 sec, you make the little logo. What is the spray you use? Are there any tricks to it? (like spraying it when the ink is still semi-wet, etc, etc)?
Your tecnical skills and craftmanship is very enjoyable to watch. Very professionel work. You are a huge inspiration. Btw, Where do you get the screws for the hooks?
the decals are printed on water-slide paper, and then sprayed with an acrylic lacquer, The white primer coat is epoxy with a white epoxy colourant added, it save time on spraying load of white paint with an airbrush. cheers
Great. Thanks. I prime with Bin primer and I use it as a filler coat too. But it's a pain because you have to spray 5-6 layers to thicken it up and then hit it again later to cover the spots you sanded through. Your way looked a lot easier!!

A lot of the time i freehand but i don't do enough wood turning to accurately repeat shapes without checking, thanks
That has to be the best video that go in detail step by step.kerp up the good work.it looks great
Great videos. You are a real craftsman. Keep the videos coming.
I love to watch your videos - not only for the great lures, but for the added bonuses of tools & stands to make. Thanks!
cheers

genius and very creative, senior, the lures are very beautiful
you are a genius I learned a lot with your videos please keep uploading them, Greetings from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean
it is transparent inkjet waterslide paper and the spray was acrylic laquer
Cheers
thanks for the kind words, I am still wondering what to do when I grow up. Good luck with the lures, my son made his first fishing lure by chopping part of his hair off and stuck it to a hook. His Mum wasn't so happy about it.
That's some serious talent and patient thanks for all the great vids
I used waterslide decal paper, sprayed with lacquer.

Just got a free lathe yesterday, cant wait to start making cool stuff like this
YOU ROCKSSS!!! You are from another planet..cheers from Puerto Rico

I've always wanted a lathe, now I really really want one. Nice video Paul
Fantastic video, I learned some tricks from you in making my stick lures.
i haven't really done much experimenting with deep diving lures, because most of the water i fish is under 2.5m 8ft and most a lot less.

You are awesome at making lures. Im just starting out and have been viewing all your videos which are a great help and motivator. Very nice work!
thanks
I wood love to fish with lure like that :D
You make it look so easy!!!
after all of that, if your lure ever gets snagged up I bet you are going swimming.
Very impressive. Nicely done!
Clever center marking! I'm going to be trying this tonight
They are a lot of fun and there are not many power tools you can say that about.
Cheers
This is fabulous! Great decal too! What kind of paper is that what did you print it on?
Great instructional Paul!
nice vid again paul very nice had to list of to do's cheers matey
One of the coolest videos I've ever scene
WOW!!! That's one super video! I also picked up a few hints here.
You've got a well set up shop and all the trimmings. When can I come to play? LOL!
Love the video editing excellent!

Wow. This was pretty amazing. You're a real artist, dude. Very very cool. I was kinda hoping that it show the lure catching a fish in the end, though.
swims nice and slow sinking good hooks comparable to the bull gills in stores, works well on the line and doesn’t feel cheap and the colors are great
I'm a fan of your work. You always do an excellent job thanks for sharing it helps a lot. I have a question. What's in the spray can that you pour on the decal sheet?
Thanks again.
it is just clear car lacquer
Perfeito 👏 Ótimo trabalho
Awesome video, super talented
I love your videos dude, thanks for sharing. Very inspiring.
That is awesome! Subbed! Can't wait to get my own little work shop and turn out lures
Justin Barber I still feel like i am neglecting my lathe but i will back doing a bit of turning soon, thanks
you have obviously been fishing with me.......
Cheers Paul Adams

congrats friend...good lures....
Water slide decal paper (transparent), inkjet printer, acrylic lacquer and warm water. Cheers
Btw nice work. Very clean!
you sir an artist .
very nice work!!!
Como me gustaría tener todas las herramientas para poder hacer algo como los tuyos... sos un capo!!!

Clear pine was used by many of the plug building greats, just got to do a very good job sealing them. Not how it was done in this video.
Very nice video. Very well done. Thanks.

HI Paul nice video once again. What is the white liquid that you add to the clear coat to cover the bare wood after the first sealing coat?
Graham
Very cool!
where do u get the long screws and the little cup washers ..I can't find any that long here in Canada
Gracias, le tomó mucho más tiempo para hacer el vídeo que el señuelo de la pesca Google Translate

with all that work,it better catch fish.good job
professional vedio
best vedio i ever seen
Mad Skills!
I find this oddly mesmerizing..
That is amazing if you make another how much would u sell it for.
Hi Paul, very interesting your trolling, I want to know what kind of spray use to trace your logo if you could inform me please, greetings.
Paul, Hey I am highly impressed with you video and how you went about doing things. I was curious to see if you could give me some insight on how you did the decal?

No doubting your skills sir, I can appreciate that...I believe I would have taken the short route and spent $6 at bass pro. Maybe I'm just lazy
Sometimes i wish i would take the short route and get to do a bit more fishing, thanks
Brent Ellis good luck getting a lure like that at bass pro lol
Thanks Bud.
thanks man
What kind of paper you use for logo printing
Hi Paul thanks for the reply where do you get the paste from?
Thanks Graham
i am looking for a sunken supermarket trolley for this one and maybe some fish
Thanks so much for posting your videos. I am curious if you thru wire any of your plugs?
I do through wire some plugs, especially anything made from balsa and sometimes cedar, thanks
Hi Paul, at 12min 30 sec, you make the little logo. What is the spray you use? Are there any tricks to it? (like spraying it when the ink is still semi-wet, etc, etc)?
i no longer sell fishing lures it takes time away from making my own lures and fishing. thanks for asking
What is the paper you used for the decal. Awesome!
Wow! That is all
Very nice and very helpful
thanks
Your tecnical skills and craftmanship is very enjoyable to watch. Very professionel work. You are a huge inspiration. Btw, Where do you get the screws for the hooks?
in europe lurepartsnl in USA lureparts, thanks
Super. Thanks for the link
good luck
What do you put on the epoxy to apply it as a base?
Really nice work! How did you make the decals, and what did you prime with? You seem to have gotten a really nice smooth finish. Thanks.
the decals are printed on water-slide paper, and then sprayed with an acrylic lacquer, The white primer coat is epoxy with a white epoxy colourant added, it save time on spraying load of white paint with an airbrush. cheers
Great. Thanks. I prime with Bin primer and I use it as a filler coat too. But it's a pain because you have to spray 5-6 layers to thicken it up and then hit it again later to cover the spots you sanded through. Your way looked a lot easier!!
Man, that´s awesome...but you need a god damn hardware store on your garage!
Да, мастер своего дела
es un arte k dios les bendiga y k disenen muchos mas
Hey if you don't mind, what type of air brush do you use.
normally a iwata neo
Okay. I'm using the revolution.
How decal it is made? What product is spray? Excuse my bad english, I'm argentinian...
