Well Huyfishn asked for a pictorial on how I build a crankbait so here we go
I only build my original crankbaits out of wood. If I like the design I mold it and future baits are poured with resin. I will stick to making an original wooden crankbait for this build.
This will be a 7 inch cedar deep diving crankbait I will use for pike and lake trout. You can apply the basis of this bait to different body/lip shapes but every change effects action.
Warning my building style is a little red neck and relying on having a good I for making things symmetrical. I will use some tricks I know other lure builders use for learning purposes but I normally just wing it instead. There is a lot of things I do just because and figured out from making mistakes. I have made lots of scrap wood over the years
