Q:
Is there anyone on here that makes their own lures? If so, is it to save money or just a hobby? I was just thinking about making my own.

I tried doing a bucktail jig a while back for the fun of it. Ended up being a ball of mess but if I remember right I did catch a fish before it fell apart. I do make my own crawler harnesses and stinger hooks for both money savings and hobby.
I've made a couple wooden crankbaits. To me it's more of a hobby, it's a great way to still be involved with fishing during the offseason, I don't icefish much.
What I like to do is when a spinner or something breaks, I'll keep all the parts that I can still use and put it all together. And I have caught fish on some of my "experiments."
Personally, I have not made any of my own fishing lures. However, I have a friend that does. The idea doubles as both a money saver as well as a hobby. I've seen some of his baits in action and they seem to be quite successful. I would assume it could be good way to personalize your fishing too.
i make some bucktail jigs and spinners, kinda for a hobby and a money saver, as well i can make them how i want them.
I make my own flies and poppers and it's very relaxing
I love making my own lures and flies and anything that I can. Not so much to save money. I love the time creating and also the feel of catching a fish on my own creation. Every fisherman should make something of their own so they can better appreciate the skills and talent that goes into every lure.
