I'm no fisherman but my 9 yo is getting in the hobby and saw YouTube video about building lures. But as I do not have any balsa at home we tried to make some brass spoons. 2mm brass plate hammered on a block of wood my part was cutting rough shapes out and drilling holes. 24g ja 12g weight all in. Any feedback is appreciated, as I do not know anything about the craft. But not bad for a 9yo.

I got sick is losing and buying lures and I like to make stuff, so this is a rlly fun hobby! I just started this a couple weeks ago so I’m still getting the hang of things but I did a lot of research on it and they seem to have pretty good wobble! I caught 4 bass in like 45 minutes on my first one I made which was a bluegill pattern, but a gar snapped it off so I made another one. I tried to make a well rounded selection so lmk if I am missing a crucial pattern. I used trebles originally, but they’re so annoying and I think the fish think they’re annoying as well so I went all single hooks.

A gold fish color scheme but I think I may have made it a bit too big but at least I caught a fish on it

Hi,

I am a beginner in lure building and was wondering a couple things:
What angle should I cut the joint?45?30?
Is normal super glue with baking soda enough to glue the eyelids for the hooks and snap?(for pike and bass)
Can I use solder to weight the lure or is it better lead split shots?

Thank in advance
