Making your own trapping lure can be fun, challenging and rewarding. In some cases, it can also save you a fair bit of money. But finding information on lure making can be tough. Most of the successful lure makers have closely guarded trade secrets they wouldn’t dare give away to the trapping community. That can make it tough to learn much about making you own lures. Fortunately, a small handful of trappers have shared information through books and videos to help other trappers get started. Here’s a list of lure making books and DVD’s that are on the market today.
