Gibo you can quite easily turn a hobby into profitable sideline. I did and until I got sick it was very worthwhile pastime, certainly pays bills. You are making very exceptional lures there, well done. Soon people will be asking to buy their own personal Gibo lure. Also great Koha or pressies to those special to you.

Although that might almost qualify as essential travel.

Ha ha ha ha, I sent the lady some of my grandfathers clamps which she uses to straighten sticks. In the event I become geriatric enough to need a stick then I will be placing an order as I have seen the quality of her work.

You've got 4 weeks, make a few, and fire up a sales channel....

I'll buy 2

And so the cottage industry “Gibo’s Lures” was incorporated during the Covid19 lockdown of 2020.
