Making a small batch of premium jointed through-wire musky lures. In this video we go from a board of wood to a beautiful and functional piece of musky catching equipment.
I purchase 3/4” western red cedar, then plane down to the desired thickness. Then, glue up the surfaced-planed wood. Both halves are equal, which aids as a centerline reference.
All that from a block of wood! I would be tempted in the show piece of the video having the cut blocks of wood on the perspex stand's slowly morphing into the end products. The directional scales look amazing, I enjoyed every second of the video especially when we got the chance to meet your beautiful young family, tooooooooo cute for words. BIG THUMB'S UP 👍😷👍
Thanks my guy!! I'll never forget looking through photos of your paint jobs for inspiration when I first started out. You were always a big help to me!
i enjoyed the vid,cute kids mike ,,enjoy those girls when there small,....i v raised 5 teenage girls and there nasty at times,but there awsome at that age.nice work on those lures mike,you show people the amount of work this quality of lure requires,quality is not cheap but quality never goes out of style......toothy out.

@FrettholdBaits where can you buy your baits? Website?
Facebook group "Fretthold Baits". Although nothing available at the moment.
What psi and paint thickness do you like to get that perfect spray?
Hi, I really like your work and I'm a big fan of yours! Can you share what you dip the wood in before the resin thanks
It's a Tung Oil sealer.
Just curious did you make the eye mold or make it?
I bought it from some guy in Europe who unfortunately no longer makes them. I've tried to order more molds. Guess I'll have to make my own.
Where do you get that thick wire from?
My local welding supply store. On jointed baits I wouldn't recommend a marine grade hardened stainless steel which can be bought from McMaster-Carr.
Hey question about the tools u use and where can I find it
Anndason 2 Pcs Adjustable SpokeShave with Flat Base and Metal Blade Wood Working Wood Craft Hand Tool a.co/d/bUHJYjG
Where do you sell your baits ?
Facebook group called "Fretthold Baits". I'm a small batch guy so there aren't sales very frequently but that's where you'll find them.
Awesome, I went and joined the group!
