Making my own tackle

[bassmaster3541]

I am looking into, making my own jigs, spinnerbaits, etc. While looking for this stuff on the websites I saw mentioned on some other posts on here, I got to thinking; Can you make your own hooks similar to the way you make jigs? I looked around a little bit but couldn't find anything on it.

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. You are better off buying hooks.

To put it simply I am just wondering if you can make your own hooks, I am interested because I am going to start making my own spinnerbaits and jigs

Making your own hooks is very impractical. You have to get the correct wire, bend it, harden it and sharpen it. This is not something that can be done consistently and accurately by the average person. It is much more cost effective to buy the correct hooks.

A neighbor of mine makes some hooks, but he works in a machine shop where he has access to that kind of material.

with the price for hooks in bulk vs all the crap you would have to go through everything i have read pushes toward just buy the hook. they are cheap
