Old School Lures

These are not very exciting but back in the day (some 30+ years ago) I use to hand carve a lot of my own lures from balsa wood. Mainly out of necessity because I was a broke teenager who would rather go fishing then go to work.  They were all just hand painted and never sealed so they took a beating over the years.  I still keep them in my tackle box though… probably more for sentimental reasons but I still do use them now and again.  I’ve caught a lot of fish on the white topwater one… that use to be my go to lure right at dusk.

A few old crank baits… I actually caught some nice bass on the white one last year (2017) I think I might make a 3D printed version of this one next.

Another crankbait… this was more a of a shallow runner if I remember correctly.

 

Lastly a few poppers that have seen much better days. they use to have tails (feathers and such) but have been to abused over the years.
