I want to try to hand carve a few crankbaits this winter to keep from going nuts. Where can I find some good "how to" info and a place to buy hardware like screw eyes, lips, eyes ( as in eyeballs ) etc.

Thanx in advance for your direction.

http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/index is the site for lure making info. 

http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/ should have the parts you want.

Hope this helps.

Ben

Thanks Ben---just what I needed to get started. There's a lot more involved than just "whittlin'"

That forum offers so much info, I've got to digest for a while before I invest in supplies. Paints, epoxys',etc. are not all the same apparently. You guys are gonna save me a lot of trial/error.

Thanks again.
