It’s been a long time coming, but this blog is back! The
last post was way back in 2016, and a lot has changed since then, not just in
the world of timber lures and handmade fishing lures, but in the
way we share and source information as anglers. Back in 2016, forums were
fading, and social media was really taking over the conversation. YouTube has
gone through several cycles too, from short clips to long production videos,
back to shorts, and now a mix of both. New platforms have emerged, and the way
anglers connect and share insights is constantly evolving.
Through all these changes, one thing has remained the same: timber
lures are still timber. The styles may have shifted slightly over the
years, but at their core, they remain functional, handcrafted fishing lures
designed to catch. The biggest evolution since my last post has been the rise
of big baits, oversized lures like swimbaits and wakebaits are now being
used more frequently, with some exceeding 300mm for targeting Bass and Flathead.
My goal with reviving this blog is to create a reliable
record of handmade lures, design updates, and the testing that goes into
producing effective custom lures. Looking ahead to 2026, I’m aiming for
regular monthly updates to share insights, fishing stories, and
behind-the-scenes looks at timber lure making and lure design.
So, if you’re an angler who appreciates handcrafted
fishing gear, make sure to keep this blog in your favorites. Unlike social
media, it’s a space where you can easily find past insights, historical lure
designs, and the evolution of ideas in one place. Welcome back to the world of
timber lures!
