Thread: Lure making

That could be a very addictive hobby

I hope it gets smashed on the first run
Best of luck

Now that is a lure that will get some teeth marks in it!

Looks bloody good ��

Jeez Gibo you seem to be on to a cottage industry winner here mate. Teach your girls how to whittle if you need to step up the production.

1mx100x50 of Paulownina timber = $20 so thats about 10 lures worth at least.

The rest has been free from mates in different industries. The first one has taken some time but thats more nutting shit out along the way. Number 2 is close behind and is quite a weird shape....

@Gibo black poplar would be good for this also and you would get it for firewood prices ... nothing

Break out pieces with a chainsaw and it will be carving dry in only a few weeks

Some woods are nicer to carve green anyway like silver birch.
Which also might be ok for lures

Yeah i use that for thicker mono like over 130lb. Uni is the ticket for 100lb which I use in the harbour

you COULD do the next part of decorating with a couple of diferent coloured vivid felt tip pens....... man that is a very tidy looking lure,almost makes a fella feel like trying to make a trout sized one.

Getting final coats of epoxy. Stickers are shit. Need an airbrush

Cheap fix is to coat over stickers with wifeys clear nail stuff.

$2 shop has it in all sorts of funky colours too.
