    Bit of an update.
    level 3 Tuesday last week had me out at 3:30 am for a surfcast, not much other than Kahawai there.

    Took the new black lure for her maiden swim, man I am stoked with the action.....seems this Kingi didn't mind it either

    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

    Nice paint jobs there. If you turn the hooks to ride point up, they are much less likely to snag on weeds and rocks.

    Yeah I just threw them on for pic. Will use some different ones to fish as there is certainly no shortage of weeds where I am spinning

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Finished these a while back then forgot to upload

    Flashers are thin stainless cut with tin snips and formed with a ball peen and some wood for dishing then sanded with wet/dry paper. Wire is stainless again. Figured out how to wrap the eyes better towards the end.

    For hooks I would use the straight eye ones - the bent eyes seem to occasionally sit wrong on the wire, but we'll see. Will see how I like these then make some wayyyyyyyy bigger ones for dedicated salt water fishing.

    Red Dragon done and dusted. You can see the effect my current epoxy has on the colour, the light yellow hue to it slowly makes everything yellow.
    I have a new super clear epoxy to try, should be the bees knees.
