The wood lipless crankbaits produced from this instructable do not include rattles.

Plastic lipless crankbaits will also have a rattle within the body of the lure to make noise during the retrieval of the lure. These lures sink when they are in the water and usually have a slight swimming motion when pulled through the water. They are used mostly for small and largemouth bass fishing. Store-bought lipless crankbaits are hard baits that are usually made out of hard plastics.

Catching fish on your homemade lures adds to that satisfaction and will keep you out on the water longer. Making your own fishing lures is fun, easy, and satisfying. I have recently taken an interest in lure making as I want to add another layer of experience and knowledge to my fishing related hobbies. I love to be outside fishing spring through fall.

All pictures and steps are numbered in the correct sequence to clearly provide steps to create your own lipless crankbait fishing lure. This instructable includes detailed instructions to create fully functional lipless crankbait fishing lures out of wood.
