I have Poplar and Pine dowels on me so that will be the thing I will carve. I have maple but they are 1X2X2, not dowels.

Lures you listed are commonly best made on a lathe ..Not that it can't be done hanndcarved but why? .. Handcarved type lures are usually Big O's , Maverick's, Top gun, Bomber, Rapala.. you know ,, fish like looking lures as opposed to plain old round .. You saying you have dowels makes me think you miss the whole thing of ,, tracing fish shape top and side on a block of wood ,, Cutting top profile out on the Bandsaw,,, taping the block back together and cutting out the side profile on the "Bandsaw"... Then round the shape out using the jig and spokeshave .. You should do a little more homework before going shopping for tools .. You might be the next Twisted Whistle... , ,, We're not talking the same lanquage
