@Gibo black poplar would be good for this also and you would get it for firewood prices ... nothing
Break out pieces with a chainsaw and it will be carving dry in only a few weeks
Some woods are nicer to carve green anyway like silver birch.
Which also might be ok for lures

Getting final coats of epoxy. Stickers are shit. Need an airbrush :)

Cheap fix is to coat over stickers with wifeys clear nail stuff.
$2 shop has it in all sorts of funky colours too.
Before epoxy? What for?Quote:

nah I think he meaning AS top coat instead of expoxy.....I use it as head cement when tying flies,have done so for years.
If yr going to clear overcoat of epoxy yr fine.
if you buy wee bag of flouro powder off trademe...you can mix it with that cheap looking nail polish and go hard out on all sorts of things......WARNING if you do your big toe nails it will glow all night so look really weird when you get up in wee small hours to empty bladder.......

Fish have no concept of value Gibo. They do not use any form of currency in their day to day life.Quote:

@Gibo will be crying in his beer when Mr Kingi rocks him. Even worse if his mate backs the prop over it or Mr Razor gang chomps on the swivel bubbles :)
Stop being a downer man!! Think positive :D Do you think I have never lost a fish before?Quote:

I will be sad, but now that I can make them I'l get over it ;)
Ys gotta have two on board. Then no sads.
(Just quietly; I built some with an internal chamber. Inside the chamber was a little sponge. Had a small hole from front of lure into the sponge chamber and also a rear vent. Inject fish oil into the chamber before each use :)
Some also incorporated another chamber containing lead shot which could rattle )
And next time you will make 10 times as many in half the timeQuote:

Just because you can
The more you make the more time you can spend loosing them
:) Lost count of the lures Ive lost. Even lost downrigger balls snd paravanes to bitey critters. All part of the game :)
looking forward to seeing this in a horses mouth man!
Gave it a swim this morning, awesome action on it. No takers but to be fair the harbour is filthy at the mo. Will try again n=tomorrow morning...
Dont forget to check for bananas first :)
Im land based so there will no doubt be lots of them in the houses around me :)
Skipjack tuna bait in the hopes of a marlin:D

Beautiful lure but the trace wire might need upgrading ? Lion Fish ?
What are you saying/asking?
I assume he is joking about the raggity ass wire tied to the nose in the first picQuote:
