Information is provided by examples showing all the the work from a chunk of wood to final assembly. Several examples are shown along with a material list and pattern for each. Additional patterns are provided beyond those shown built. In the various examples, the author uses different ways of shaping the body and different ways of painting, so you can use the tools and methods of your choice. Everything is well illustrated with clear photos, step by step, and clear concise instructions. His finished lures are works of art, and he shows how to paint a variety of patterns. In terms of clarity and variety, one of the best books I've seen on any subject. The information is somewhat basic, since the subject is rather basic by nature. But basics are all you need to make your own lure, and you'll have all the information you need for a variety of lure types..
