I started making my own spinnerbaits way back in the early 1990s. As with anything you're just starting out at, there will always be an initial outlay of cash. Sometimes you might break even after a while. Sometimes you never catch up. But when you're making your own lures, it's more about the fun of making them and the satisfaction of catching fish on lures you made yourself than it is about saving money
I started out by buying pre-poured spinnerbait heads and painting them myself, then eventually bought a lead pot, molds, etc.
And then I started pouring my own jigs and buzzbaits.
Eventually I got tired of pouring, and then tired of painting, so I started buying pre-poured and pre-painted heads and making my own skirts. I now make my own spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, jigs and bladed jigs. But I never have to touch a lead pot or paint
Over the years, I've won thousands of dollars in tournaments with my own lures, from small club tourneys, to open tournaments with 50 boats. It's an awesome feeling to be able to catch big fish on your own lures
And, as
