That's awesome. I just started trying to make my own lures. I've made a few rattle trap style crankbaits, as well as one that I modeled after the "river rocker" But now watching this has got me wanting to try some like you're making.
Kermett, you make great lures. You also got me started in lure making when I bought your Ebook and am still referring to it. I am getting better as it does take practice.
I had been trying to get the concave mouth on my lures using a lathe, but with a skew chisel. Not easy on such a small piece, especially when trying to carve around the tailstock live center. They come out ok like this, but your method is so much better. I just ordered my own rotary burr. Thank you for the tip!
Very neat job , .......but the tool's diameter must match the lure blank dia. , I guess , .......I'm using oval router bits on my "Dremel" , ...takes a bit longer and requires some fine sanding afterwards , but this way I can also furnish somewhat irregular cuppings . Cheers , 61diemai
thats one sexy popper, thanks for sharing. can you make a video on how you put the thru wire on these lure.i've always wondered how the tail and belly hooks are install on these types off popper on the thru wire construction.your knowledge will be put to good use.BIG THANK YOUS to you.
i have 2 questions... did u use a varnish on the body of the lure cuz i noticed it was a differnet texture with the paint or was it just from the paint? and my other question was for the eyes. How did you make the holes for the eyes and what did u use to fill the eye holes 3D eyes you had in the painted lure? Thanks for your help.
yes sir can u use a 3/4 in round burr ball on wood that's just a little smaller than the burr itself and still get good concave face or does burr have to match up with wood like 3/4 in burr 3/4in wood
+Jimmy Anderson Yes you can but the depth you can cut the mouth will be less than the diameter of the burr. What you can do to make a popper mouth less than 3/4 inch diameter is to use a 1/2 inch diameter burr
Yeah that one is a fancy one. I found one for 7 dollars it seems like the one u use on your video is different. The one I'm talking about looks like the one on your videos do you have those and do you have different sizes?
R u serious?! Why didn't I think of that?! I've been using my dremel all this time, I mean, it comes out perfect every time, but this is way easier. My old man has this tool in his garage and it's new covered in some type of wax or something. Definitely gonna give this a try. Thanx for sharing!
Arrrgh I really, really need to get a chuck for my lathe, lol. Everything I've done has just been between simple, pointed, live and dead centers, from nightsticks to musical flutes. I could get away, for now, with a drill in a vice or maybe my drill press.
Hi brother , i need that tool that you are using in the 2:34 of the video, to make the mouth of the popper, where can i buy one, whats the name? Thanks
Kermett the cutting tool, by the way this is Jesse were friends on fb it's funny cause I started watching your vids on here before Iand then we became friends on fb and I still never even knew it was the same lure genius lol
The one in the video is a 3/4 inch diameter ball rotary burr. I also use a 1 inch diameter for the larger lures.These are double cut high quality carbide cutting burrs.
@@owl331 I see there are several Al gmz on facebook. If you are on facebook you can send the pic in Messenger to me; Kermett Adams. Or you can send the pic to kermett@klures.com
yes sir can u tell me why know mater what i do i just cant seem to get my lures to look alike just close i always heard that u cant i would be very thankful for any tips
+Blake Rogers two possible tips. first try slowing your rpm of the burr in the lathe. second if you are using a 3/4 burr ; first drill a starter hole with a 3/8 inch bit at least 1/4 inch into the face of the lure.let me know if this helps.

Kermett, you make great lures. You also got me started in lure making when I bought your Ebook and am still referring to it. I am getting better as it does take practice.
Thanks. I am glad my ebook got you started. Painting is probably the most difficult part of making a great looking lure.

On larger poppers with 1.5 diameter I make popper mouth on the lathe using a skew with a long slender point on it and it works very well
what size rotary burr? Tried this with sandpaper, not the best way 😢
Everything is easy when you have the right tools, 😁
can you make a video on how to paint it like you're first one, wow really nice finish 👌
great work, just finished my first crank bait lure now its off to the popper.
+grant mcdorman Good luck with your first popper
@sportsandhobies I use a urethane for my clear coat. I use a brad point bit to drill holes for the eyes. The eyes are 3D molded plastic.

Do you dip the lures in a liquid plastic that dries into a hard surface?

I use Rustoleum flat white enamel to base, lacquer for color coat, and a two part epoxy to clearcoat.

nice video,.,.
what size weights do you put in them after ?
There are no weight installed in this top water popper.
You can do it by mounting the rotary burr in a drill press. It would be very difficult to do with a hand held drill;however.
do you sell your poppers? they look perfect

Awsome dude! What would you recommend would be the first tool(s) to get for making a popper lure? Cheers from sweden! :D
A lathe and the rotary burr cutting tool would be the two key things you need.
Gorgeous work keep posting. Thanks for the tips.

3/4 inch diameter
@toddbunn The wood is eastern red cedar; but this will work with most woods.

guess im wrong
where would I buy those rotary bits at?
Hi Ryan, They are for sale in my ebay store. Kermett stores.ebay.com/sunrisetacklestore
for some reason the tool catches my lures and ruins them, why is this?

I've found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for everyone I think
I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
Quick easy access to many projects with Stodoys plans.
Im sure you can build it also guys. Just look for woodprix page
@kluremaker Thanks :)
@devil6in6da6sky
Check out the video on YOutube for my thru wire info
very detailed plans for that I found on Stodoys.
You can do that with a drill press too.
