Where are all the baits everyone is making at? Post some pics as I know there are more people wintered in making baits. Show off your work even if it isn't recent. Expecting several inches of snow tonight and tomorrow so I will have nothing to do but mess with my baitmaking stuff.

Over 100 views and nobody has anything to share? I know there are more than 4 people on this forum that make baits.

Here's a few of my attempts to make my own Jackhammer. I think the blue one gets me the closest.

Made this one to match one of the trailers I have been working on. Accidently put too much powder in and came up with this silver dark grey color. While not what I was looking for it is a good looking baitfish imitator.

A skirted swinging football head I poured on a 5/0 Owner XXX Twistlock so it could be rigged weedless without a weedguard and without compromising the hinged action of the head. Rigged and unrigged.

Nicely done gentlemen! I’ve wanted to get into making my own lures for a while now, it comes and goes and I’m pondering the idea again. 

Jump on in, what else are you going to do in MI during the winter.

I love the color on the bait in the lower left hand corner.

Agreed, a lot of gill colors are overdone imo. Yes they look pretty, but a juvenile bluegill isn't a brightly colored fish. Ours tend to be blue-green with a purplish tint and a white belly, touch of chartreuse on a bluish tail. I prefer colors like that one that aren't so bright like an adult bluegill, it seems like more fish eat those young gill colors.

You can do it at a decent price now that the equipment is so inexpensive.  I say jump in with both feet, I am sure you will get a lot of good advice here.

nothing physical to show. Been learning Fusion 360 and taking classes on CAM. Been wanting to learn forever. I'll see if I invest past this though. Got my eye on a Nomad from Carbide3d.
