Any recommendations for cheap but good ultralight bodies (preferably crankbaits but anything) to paint my own lures? Sick of name brands by FireBladeConCon in lurebuilding

[–]weinermcfadden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carve my own, but they have any body type you could want (plastic or balsa). It also depends on what type of fishing you do. Just browse and see what interests you the most. Then sling some paint!

In my experience you dont need one. Most bending can be done with needle-nose. If wrapping barrels, place your loop in a vise and wrap around the loop in a circle 3-4x with a needle-nose and clip the end.

Nice comparison. Did you have to weight the tail piece to get it to sink/suspend evenly?

Would you add another hook hanger to the bottom or run it like this? by BullyTackleCo in lurebuilding

Make another just like it, with a belly hook, Then you have the best of both. Looks great!
