Lurecraft: How to Make Plugs, Spinners, Spoons, and Jigs to Catch More Fish

This book explains, in text and drawings, how to craft fishing lures that are more effective than those you buy. Lurecraft shows you how to design lures for your hometown waters, so they're better suited to local conditions and catch more fish. Here you'll find instructions for building plugs, surface lures and poppers, spinners, spoons and buzzers, jigs, trout lures, steelhead and salmon lures, and lures for big water fishing. The author explains the science of fish attraction - why lures appeal to fish - and covers tools, materials, and basic techniques for working with wood, metal, wire and paint. Clear illustrations and detailed instructions show you the design of each lure, the materials with which to build it, the procedure for crafting and finishing it and the appearance of the finished product.
