Do most guys just buy the blank un-colored bodies for lets say a shad rap and paint them themselves? Or do they actually pour the body themselves? Thanks

mrfishingwisonsin,
The answer to your question is "both"....some guys buy blanks, paint them with their own custom colors and then put them together. Others, who are probably very experienced, will create their own mold and pour their own lures.
I make all my musky lures from wood. When I first started, I repainted some older lures, and then I ordered blanks to paint. This eventually led to making my own lures by copying existing shapes. Now, I make some of my own designs.
There are several different levels of lurebuilding. Just figure out where you feel comfortable starting and jump right in. It is amazing how one thing leads to another. BTW, lurebuilding can become very addicting......

Hello everyone, my name is Stevign. I have been fishing almost all of my life but mainly lake fishing for bass etc. while growing up in Indiana. About 2 years ago I started river fishing for the 1st time. I live in Washington State now, fish the Skagit River and mostly catch Dolly Varden trout and Steelhead. I "hope" to start catching salmon as well this summer when the Humpies season comes around.
