Just took over as mod of this community and I’d like to build it up as a place to discuss techniques and tools available to build lures of all types. Please join me in building this for everyone to have a great learning environment no matter how much experience they may have. Tight lines guys!!

I’m sorry to say guys I won’t be able to do a giveaway this month. Due to unforeseen financial circumstances this month I’m a little tight on extra cash. I hope everyone understands and I look forward to hopefully starting again in December. Thanks for participating when you can everyone!

It's that time!!! Leave a comment with your most need or wanted supplies to enter (for surprise simply reply hard/soft bait)! Multiple comments will not increase chance of winning. No guarantee you'll receive what you request but all attempts will be made. Winner chosen at random.

Anyone got any good tutorials for working with balsa wood fly patterns? Where do people buy balsa wood?

Anybody used a drop shot mold for lead inserts into your baits? Seemed plausible to semi fill it then drill out a corresponding size hole in my bait and just insert it as normal and cover

Alright we've now had two successful giveaways and I feel it's time to get some opinions on how it's going. Is everyone ok with the frequency at once a month and around midway? Would it be preferred to move the date? Is the current setup of requesting your preference in the comments working for everyone or is there a more preferred way to enter. All opinions welcome and I hope we can continue building everyone's love of the craft!

I’ve been looking at getting a lead pot but just wanted to see if anyone had found any other ways to weigh a bait down.

I’m going to start working on a master list of different supply companies for different things we use for a pinned post. Everything from specialized tools to more specifics parts such as eyes. If anybody has any favorites they return to every time please comment below so I can add them

I’m a scatter brain most days and one thing that helps me is holding on to those stickers. You can put them on the wall, clipboard, notebook... anywhere in your shop and it’s a reference for when you run out where your favorite supplies came from. I don’t buy often so having a reference to look back at is always helpful. Can also use cheap wildlife stickers to base your baits off of as inspiration!
