Thread: Lure making

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.

It was there when I bought the place

Couple of Lock Down lures. About all I can do fishing wise through this....few more on the go too

110mm 30 gram floating


200mm 100 gram floating

@gimp i'm trialing a little 85mm 25 gram sinking stick. Should be a level sink if all goes well.

If it works I'll get one to you after all this shit

Ripper! Keen.

Nice work, @Gibo - here's a picture of some foil tape, rubbed shiny side down on an expanded mesh heater grill (Celsius upright, from Countdown) if you're still interested...
