Getting Started
I received a Jet lathe from a good friend in June and I would like to start turning lures as winter approaches. That being said, I do not know where to start. This is more intimidating than tying flies for the first time, and I'm sure these questions have been asked before but I'm certain new ideas abound. I've been tying flies for the last 6 years now. I assume the thru wire, hardware, and hook components are for the most part do it right or lose a fish. I would like to fumble with weight placement etc, however I would prefer to begin with the "right" base materials.
1) Tool Recs.
2) Wood stock Recs, best 3 or your recommended #1 for type plug.
3) Sealers & Paint
Thank you in advance for your time and input. -Matt
