    Probably need to sell them for $500 to be worth doing. Way more satisfying gifting handmade stuff to mates, and using it yoursel.

    Hey @Gibo. They look amazing. I found a large x-rap washed up on 90 Mile a few months back. The bib has been snapped off. Reckon it is repairable with epoxying a new bib or would I be wasting my time? Thought it might be a fun little project...

    Yeah man give it a go, might be a stronger option to cut the old bib out and try and replace the whole thing, id say if it was just repaired on the surface it would just break again, needs to be pretty strong.

    Ha Ha yeah was a bit of a joke with my mate. There are a heap of Great Whites in the Tauranga harbour so when I asked what lure he wanted he said GWS.

    The funny bit is it got a kingfish on its first outing

    @Gibo I've been following this for awhile now and they look great....imagine catching a good fish on something you made your self, I normally do anyway but baiting a hook properly doesn't compeer.
    Anyway I'm going to go and make my first $1,000 + Lure. Hell I'm looking forward to it.
