How to get rid of air bubbles in my baits?
Having some bubbles in them. Curious what to do to get rid of them? Sorry for the very bad picture. The light pink spot though is where you can see it.

countdown “style” blank
i drew this up sep2023 ..the idea was to have either full floating or sinking body with different lip sizes and angles that could be switched out with the head to test different lure actions. Didn’t think there would be a use for it but it might be what you’re looking for

Tips for getting a tighter action?
So, I recently started making crankbaits,and they work beautifully, but the wobble is very wide and slow. Is there anything I can do to make it tighter for a different action? Thank you for your help.

Rapala countdown blanks
Looking for a suspending blank. If not familiar, countdowns drop 1 foot per second of letting sit. Once you begin to reel, they stay at that depth for retrieval. Haven’t been able to locate…

First crankbait. Any thoughts?
Do you guys have any advice. I painted with spray paints and hand brushes with acrylic paint. I don't own an airbrush. Is that something I should invest in?

What do you guys recommend for a clear coat?
I’ve been using UV resin as my clear coat but I’m it’s getting harder to get it cure, I usually just use the sun but it’s winter where I live now so it’s much harder to get a nice finish. Just looking for other options for a smooth glossy finish.

Who's that Pokemon?
This was a pretty frustrating lure to build. Didn't turn out quite how I wanted, but it swims okay.

Beginner seeking blueprints / templates
Hello guys,
im currently starting my lurebuilding journey.
Ive already painted some blanks but for me this is not the real deal.
I would love to build a lure full made by me. (Saw it out of wood / Add fillets etc)
For this I would love to have a proven template.
Im mainly fishing for Pike and Perch so i thought a jerk / glidebait like the westin swim would be a great option.
Does anyone know a website where there are some proven templates / blueprints for some lures?
How do you guys go about building a new lure?
Do you just draw it out and test a lot?
Greetings

Jig hook quality
Regarding the Aberdeen 90° jig hooks, who has the best quality regarding sharpness and barb size? I noticed the Owner hooks are packaged per 25 at the same price as 100 for some of the other brands? VMC, Mustad, Owner, Eagle Claw etc
