I made this lathe out of an old drill i had in my shop. I have made some nice plugs some better than the comercial stuff. Works like a charm cost is minimal.

Wood: Mostly pine which i weight with lead.
Paint: Auto primer / regular inexspesive spary paint 2 part epoxy finish.
Hardware for hooks 7 wire : Home Depot
Lips: i have only made poppers and darters, needle type plugs. So i dont know, but i imagine you can buy thin stainless at any good hardware store. then all you need is a saw and files.
Fish: 30" 12 pound Striper on black popper

Its nice to see others taking photos of there work. There is nothing like catching fish on hand crated tackle. I make just about everything i fish with except reels. I have made my own poles and such for past 5 years. I had recently got into saltwater fly fishing for bass and had lots of fun tying flies. But recently my brother in law wanted to go fishing and he purchase a spinning set and i dug out all my surf stuff again. Now i am finding with all the knowledge i pick up from fly fishing stripers My catch has increase. I have had a great year so far. Its been a fun year. Also looking forward to the shop this winter. Have a few plans i want to tackle. I will keep posting my items i make, as well as anyone else out there. We should see if we can get a tackle craft discussion section on the board. It would be great to see what people create and maybe make some extra do re me.

Anyway, Everybody keep the photos coming lets see what you made please post projects.

Looks like Ernie and I are the only two who make their own tackle. It would be nice to see what others have made. Someone please submit any thing you made for fishing. I would like to see a Section on this site just dedicated to Tackle Craft and winter projects.
