About

Hey there, fellow anglers! 👋 Welcome to diylures.blog, a place where craftsmanship meets fishing passion. My name is Michael, and I’ve been obsessed with fishing for as long as I can remember. But what truly hooked me? The art of creating handmade lures.

For years, I’ve been experimenting with different materials, refining techniques, and testing my handcrafted lures in real fishing conditions. Every lure I make has a story behind it—whether it's a balsa crankbait fine-tuned for trout streams or a custom topwater lure that drives bass crazy.

On this blog, I share:

✅ Step-by-step DIY lure-making guides – from carving to painting.
✅ Pro tips on materials, balance, and action tuning.
✅ Real-world fishing tests & lure performance reviews.
✅ Deep dives into bait finesse (BFS) and ultralight fishing techniques.

Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to build your own lures or a beginner curious about the process, you’re in the right place. Let's create, experiment, and catch more fish—one handmade lure at a time!
