Hey mate, nice informative little clip. I've been making my own jigs for a while, but have only been having a crack at making hardbody lures for a few weeks now. So far i've tried working with both soft and hardwood timbers & molded plastic to form stickbaits and swim/glide baits, and the results have been encouraging! Videos like this really help to accelerate the learning curve and bypass the frustrations of trial & error, so cheers. One important thing that you didn't mention, and i think is a very relevant and important point - when you balanced the cardboard lure profile, you said that this point was the centre of buoyancy(COB).....well, it kind of is. Sometimes....... but, no.... not really. What it ALWAYS is, is the centre of GRAVITY. It is only the centre of buoyancy as well if - the entire lure body is made entirely of the same material, i.e. has a 100% consistent mass, or if not, the materials are the same density. A common example of contrasts is a solid timber lure vs hollow plastic. In the plastic model, the "other" material affecting and skewing the result is quite simply, air! Being practical about it all, the hollow plastic lure will only be a significant ways off if the plastic skin thickness is really (REALLY) inconsistent. Ask me how i know this ;) lol. Anyway, a better method to find the COB and COG is; ....... For COG, hold the lure across a rulers edge like a lure see-saw, the point where it is closest to balancing is near on your COG. For COB, do the ALMOST the same, but instead, flip the lot upside down and underwater, i.e. use the edge of the ruler to hold the lure underwater. The point where the 'see-saw' is level is your COB. cheers. ps subbed

You're right, the center of buoyancy located the way I did is very specific to lures that have very close to perfect symmetry along the length and width. If you imagine taking cross-sections along the length of a lure, that piece of paper represents a cross-section in the center of the lure but as you approach the edges that cross section shape changes pretty dramatically, if there isn't a perfect symmetry that is. Almost no lure is so blocky as to be that symmetric. So what I'm doing is a simple quick way of getting very close to the center of buoyancy. Otherwise you would have to do tests in water and at that point you have other issues to contend with. To begin with you would need the lure...and with my technique you only need the template. Internal densities variations such as adding weight and voids for rattle chamber can make big differences it's true but, when you're doing engineering for something like lures, that are made by hand, sometimes you just got to generalize and get close. Thank you very much for your feedback, would love to hear if you have any suggestions for videos...And good luck with lure making.

Learn something every time. So if I have a sub surface jerk bait that is nose heavy and I move the weights back toward the centre of drag I could make it start to glide more?
@EngineeredAngler
@EngineeredAngler 5 жыл бұрын
If you want a subsurface glide bait the principle is the same ...there could be some complications if the shape is unusual... The best is to elongate the shape a bit and keep the center of gravity forward of the center of drag. trying to approach a thin teardrop shape, fat end forward, will get it done.

I love your videos and explanations. I am trying make a large glide bait for musky. 7 or 8 inches. Ones that i purchase glide side to side nicely with the turn of the crank. Ones that i build just go straight. Sink tests on store bought ones appear to sink level. The shape is similar to the phantom lures. Do the techniques describe here still apply to large lures?
@EngineeredAngler
@EngineeredAngler 3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely, the size dose not change the basic dynamics. Sometimes you have to manipulate the center of drag forward so you can place the weight more forward to get the sink attitude level. Try making the wide point of the lure 1/3 back from the nose (both looking from the top and the side). Make the nose a bit pointy. Good luck.

@EngineeredAngler

The action I was demonstrating was the "walk the dog" action, not really a true swim action. A swimming action is induced by the lure, walking the dog is done by twitching the rod tip at the right tempo as you retrieve. Its not hard to get a swimming action from a lipless one piece lure. its all about inducing turbulent flow on the lure body.

have you ever figured out how to adjust the diving depth of a crank bait? I guess its relation between speed, size of lip and center of gravity while CoG will mostly influence the movement under water say wiggle or less wiggle and CoB will influence stability say how horizontal the lure will run under water. However I would like to understand how to adjust diving depth since I want to make some crank baits for sea fishing.

@EngineeredAngler

I think it's best to put weight near the center of rotation. For most lures thats about 20 to 25% back from the nose. This gives the tie on eye the most influence over the action.

Topwater lures are the simplest to manipulate with weight and balance. Swimbaits are much more complicated because the shape of the body can influence how, or even if, the bait will swim. It's very important that tow eye at the very front is placed in the right location. The next video on designing lures will explain this.

Isn’t the way you mensure buoyancy also the same as center of gravity, at least for the paper you measure with. The paper doesn’t not take into consideration the height of the lure. Would that also have an affect on buoyancy?
@EngineeredAngler
@EngineeredAngler Жыл бұрын
On a lure that is made on the lathe this method is very accurate. On lures that are hand shaped, where the taper to the front is not the same as the taper to back, this method is not as accurate. I cover a different method on a few other lure builds.
@HondoTrailside
@HondoTrailside 4 жыл бұрын
Probably someone mentioned this, but the paper method of estimating center of buoyancy is way off. Two reasons: It is a three dimentional object where the width and height vary as you move along it's length, these are not representable by a flat object (unless you have an oject a lot like a flat surfboard. Say you have a section of your paper that is .5 inches and a nearby section that is 1 inch. In your method the buoyancy would seem to only vary by a factor of 2, but these real answer is 4 since lathe turned shapes vary as to the square of their radius, not in comparison to the radius. If the lure is a sinker, you have the above problem, but if it floats then there is the whole question of where the waterline is on the object and how that affects what parts of the plugs are buoyant and what the moments of those parts are. And when you pull on it, everything changes, though you nailed that part of the description really well. I now know what makes the lure is up to when it is walked like a dog.
@EngineeredAngler
@EngineeredAngler 4 жыл бұрын
Right. I think I mentioned in the video that an exact location is most easily found with a CAD program. And while I'm fully aware of the limitations of this method it is very surprising how close it actually brings you to the correct location of the center of buoyancy. When you use it a few times you get a feel for eyeballing an adjustment towards the thicker part of the lure. Only with lures that have parallel sides will this method work perfectly for. It also works for lures that are made on the lathe, no matter what the shape. You take the profile shape and balance that and you get the exact location. Try it.

Hello there..I love the channel & this video caught my attention because I'm just starting out building wooden lures by hand, and the thing that I'm having trouble with the most is where exactly to put weight at certain places. I've downloaded some E Books etc and have seen dozen of free lure building templates and am not getting too much info on this particular thing here..I'm in need of help here, so any help or advice or pointers, etc, anything, would be greatly appreciated..Thanks Sincerely, Mike M.

Mike welcome to handmade lures. Most people struggle with weight and balance at first. There's certainly quite a bit of physics that can be explained and then simplified to get the weight and balance right. But as you progress and get experience and have some successful lures you'll start to get I feel for weight and balance. But, you need help now, right?. Here's the answer weight and balance depends a lot on the style of the lure you're making, if it's topwater things become a little simpler, if it's a crankbait with a lip they get a little more complicated, if it is a lipless crank then it gets even more complicated. I could give some general guidelines but I could probably help you more if you sent me a sketch or a photo with dimensions of the type of lure you're trying to make. I'll do what I can. And thank you for watching the video

I haven't experienced that...? I'm not sure what it could be. I'll have to ask KZfaq support. Thank you for letting me know. Thank you for watching anyway.

I’m getting sound right through the intro then no sound when it cuts back to you. So no sound from 47 seconds to 8:47. Then sound after that up to the end.
