Hey guys, I have never built any baits before due to the fact that I was in the Marine Corps and I was also able to fish all year bc I was stationed in SC and never got snowed in. So my question is what is something to get me started, I want to do something with fishing when I get snowed in this year and thought that I might be able to safe some money if I made my own tackle. Please point me in the right direction as I know that I am going to get restless this winter. Thanks guys.

I guess I need to reword this. What would be good to start with, pouring my own plastics, building jigs or painting my own crankbaits?
Thats all up to you... They are all totally different to make. Like 3 seperate trades.

if you are going to buy pre-poured (blank) jigs, I'd say that would be easiest. Get some powder paint and some skirts and you're good to go. Otherwise, I would get into painting. You can get a good setup going for painting your own baits for well under $200 and the options are limited only to your imagination.

Great, thanks guys. I have been researching all day and think I am going to start with pouring plastics.
