Wood Carving a Minnow Lure

Not gonna lie I was pretty lazy editing this video. Just had a tooth pulled today so yeah I just wasn’t feeling it.

This lure has been a headache as well. I planned originally on making a lure making for beginners 2.0 but this one just turned out to be too complicated for someone just starting out.

It’s been a huge trial and error project to get the action the way I want it. Even though it looks good in the video it just isn’t consistent enough and doesn’t thump as much as I would like. Also the buoyancy is a huge issue. Just can’t get enough microspheres in the resin to make it float good enough. So I’ve got some new resin on the way and already got plans for a new video just for this mold because I think it’s gonna be a fish catching machine!

Anyway I hope you enjoy and I’ll see you soon on the next one.
