Tried my hand at making a bigger, bibless lure with a good action. I was completely surprised the first time I tested the lure. It has a suberb action and it works being reeled in slow or fast. Will definitely make some more of these lures in the future instead of making crankbaits.

Very nice... I take it these are bass lures?
Weight?
Legth?
What material/wood did you use?

This is a bass lure. Its around 10cm (3,9inch). The wood is pine (I think) which I know isn't the best for fishing lures, but I am struggling to find the right wood in my area. I have no idea whats the weight (40-60g perhaps) I use screw eyes for the wire. It wont last when targeting bigger fish in the salt but it is strong enough for bass (so far) and I have had no problems with it. I want to do through-wire construction but I dont have a lot of tools, my dad isn't really a tool man! I only use a cutting knife and sandpaper to form my lure bodies.
I haven't properly fished the lure (only tested it) but will give it a good go when spring arrives!
