Decorative Fishing Lure

I love to go fishing. I can spend all day out on the water waiting for the big one to bite. Fishing, for me, can relieve all the stress after a long week. It reminds me of the time I have with my family and gives me a lot of great memories. I thought we would try to make a lure. It is a fun little gift for someone and is a fun project.

This fishing lure is is not meant to be used for fishing, but it is a great decoration for a cabin or someone who enjoys fishing.

Materials

• 1 ½ in x 1 ½ in dry pine wood
• 3 Small screw eyes
• Sand paper
• Saw
• Ruler or tape measure
• 2 treble hooks
• paint

First you need to measure 5 inches and mark it.

Then cut off the extra wood and draw the design of the lure on the wood.

Then cut with a bandsaw or hacksaw.

Now mark your design on the other side.

Then cut the extra, and it should look like this.

You can use a power sander or just sandpaper and round out the lure.

Contine sanding until it is smooth and well shaped.

Use eye screws and put to horizontally and the third at the bottom point.

Paint however you want your design, but I started with all yellow, then orange on the bottom, green on the top, and I put black stripes on the top.

Hopefully this will make a good gift for a loved one or a nice decoration for the cabin.
