Thread: Lure making

Loving the lures Gibo.

I'm too lazy for carving wood etc but get these little blanks from AliExpress cheap as. Being as in Taupo fishing area can only have a single hook so...

I rip out the belly hook eye and drill out and add some splitshot to add weight (takes them from about 4g to 7 or 8g depending on amount of shot) glued in with UV cure resin. Then sand smooth and airbrush

These were just for shots and giggles in WW2 fighter(ish) patterns.

TL: Luftwaffe Me109 TR: RAF Spitfire. BL: JIAF Zero. BR: USAF P47 D. Blank and 10g Toby for scale



Edit: Same UV clear is brushed on before curing with UV lamp.

P.s it's AliExpress resin too
