Thread: Lure making

The lures in the fishing shop are first and foremost designed to catch anglers, and then to catch fish.

Yawn. You guys are spoiling my fun

Thr real fun will dtsrt when a big kingi wraps it around a rock. You need to make at least two

@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 Do you think I have never lost a fish before?

No; but whenvthat gunn lure goes to Davey Jones I can picture the grief, and then the solace ������

I will be sad, but now that I can make them I'l get over it

And next time you will make 10 times as many in half the time
And thats what it's all about.
Doing something you love not because its easy and not because its cheaper
Just because you can

The more you make the more time you can spend loosing them

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 )

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


First fish with this guy this morning, got a massive strike and string pull then dropped it

Bit rashed up
