MAKING WOODEN FISHING LURES

MAKING WOODEN FISHING LURES
Filled with fish-tested designs as well as carving and painting techniques, this guide provides instructions for creating a variety of fresh and saltwater lures. Exploring the science of catching fish—what colors and shapes fish are attracted to and how to replicate them—the handbook tells which lure designs will attract which type of fish. Outlining the difference between surface, floating, diving, and sinking lures, this manual offers full-sized carving patterns and step-by-step demonstrations. Additional information about hardware, hooks, and jointed lures is also included, as is an elaborate gallery of historic and contemporary wooden lures. For the active fisherman, fishing lure collector, or the crafty carver and painter, this full-color handbook provides more than 20 projects to make and use.

About the Author(s)

Rich Rousseau has been carving wood for 49 years, and for 26 of those has been concentrating on fishing lures and decoys. He has been a dedicated fisherman since the age of 4 (nearly 60 years). He won the World Champion Fish Carving contest tow years running, and has won numerous awards from Ducks Unlimited and Trout Unlimited for the amount of funds raised by the auction of his carvings for the organizations. The designs in this book are original- Rich says they "were thrown in the water, bitten, used, abused, and refined until they were perfected." He resides in northern Michigan, which is known for lure making and fishing heritage.
