Anybody make their lures? Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits, Jigs….etc? A good past time for the days you can’t hunt/fish, saves a few $$ too. I might have $1.00-$1.50 in each bait.
I buy spinnerbait heads, blades, clevices from Ibraro ranch tackle on ebay, order the skirts from Barlows.
Buzzbaits, I look for a deal on Ebay, got 177 1/4 oz heads 2 weeks ago, to the door for $24, buy the skirts, blades and rivets from Barlows. I go with a silver head for spinnerbaits and a red head for buzzbaits, spray cans or finger nail polish.
It passes the time and gives me something to do in “manland” a.k.a basement, you can piece together what “you” want, buy in bulk and sell em to your buddies still cheaper than the store.
Thoughts? Inputs? Any other money savers?
