Was such a cool morning, me and a random bloke only ones there. Massive school of them came through. He hooked up, I hooked up, dropped mine, cast again, hooked up. landed mine, 91cm tagged and sent away. He landed his, 75.5cm hooked in the tail, tagged and sent away. His first ever and on top water. Pretty stoked for him, he'll be hooked now! His fish flew out the water when it hit :D
Fixed it, I hate those things. If I catch a fish I invariably hook it so the mouth is hooked shut. Failing that I'll just hook everything else, clothing, rope, fingers, ...Quote:

plurry good work on the kingi....your lure works...good shit bud...good shit indeed.

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.
Sign me up for 2!!Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Start of a new little one, 20 gram to target harbour snapper (ignore hooks, just some dropper hooks to see what I was going to do wire wise). Also setting the weights in place with some epoxy before sealing the lures and filling the cavities up.

Nice, mate!
Just saw this thread, hope I'm not butting in on @Gibo 's thread too much.
Decided I was tired of paying $12 for a spinner I inevitably lose anyways, and wanted some larger spinners than I've found. These are a test batch to see how I like them, then will try larger, smaller, different designs etc. I've always liked Panther Martin spinners, and the trout seem to as well, so somewhat copying them. No real plan with the bodies, just whatever tickled my fancy as I was turning them. Saw someone mention somewhere using double hooks instead of a treble, thought it was a neat idea to try.
Will do the flashers tomorrow. Have stainless and brass sheet, will try a mix of both. Might clearcoat the brass to avoid it tarnishing... not sure yet.

you COULD try poking mono out the rear in a loop or in a v to help push weed away from your hooks...like some of the mepps do. are you planing to use beads and then a blade attached somehow???
They look cool. Go hard mate, keen to see any lure making
Don’t you get paint on those newspaper articles man.
ahhh. The mighty Tuki Tuki river on your shed wall. Must have it there just to remind yourself of what paradise is likeQuote:
