Ah - don't let ByteBull discourage ya. There's all kinds of ways to make your own lures and tackle. Depends on what kind you're after.
I'd look to say a hobby shop for some balsa. You might be able to find it cheaper if you look more to the industrial side of things than the craft world.
I'll try to find my stack - but there's lots of catalogs and shops out there selling "parts". If you're wanting to make crank baits - you'll need some hardware too.
Google lure crafting, or making fishing lures. I'm sure some of the sites'll come up.
You can pour plastics, your can pour lead, you can tie, you can hammer and bind. Then there's painting and decorating.
Here's a bottle cap spinner I made just to be quirky. I can show you some more variants of them I've played with. Beads, Blades, Hooks - simple, but they catch all kinds of fish.
