Once you start something, it’s usually best to keep the momentum going. After yesterday’s “simple not so simple” wakebait post, I jumped straight back into the shed this afternoon and kept the ideas flowing.
Today saw three different wakebait designs hit the bench:
- One Murray Cod-sized wakebait, a 2-piece timber lure
- Two Bass-sized wakebaits, both 1-piece designs
These cut-back, back-to-basics lures have really got me thinking. Stripping away the bulk and focusing purely on action, balance, and profile forces you to look at lure fundamentals in a new light. It’s the full-circle moment I didn’t realise I needed, returning to the core principles that make a wakebait swim true.
The deeper I go into this minimalist approach to handmade fishing lures, the more potential I see. Cod bait or bass bait, big or small, the concept is proving itself across sizes.
As they say… watch this space. More testing, more tweaking, more pared-back designs to come.
