Learn how to carve your own lures.
In this course Jamie will teach you how to craft fishing lures from a variety of natural materials, using just a knife and common tools. These lures work just as well as mass produced lures that cost up to $8 a peice and can be easily modified to suit your fishing conditions. You will be carving 3 different lures with supplied patterns that require different carving techniques. You'll also learn how to tune the lure to achieve the desired action. Classic and custom paint techniques are also covered to give your lures a professional look. This class will enable you to carve a tackle box full of fish catching lures for a fraction of the price of store bought lures. And, you'll gain knowledge that will last for generations in the process!
