Thread: Lure making

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 )

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

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

Beautiful lure but the trace wire might need upgrading ? Lion Fish ?

What are you saying/asking?

Ha ha thats from a kingi not a marlin Woody! I bloody wish i was out wide. Im running 5/0 bkk raptor z’s on that. Probably put like 7/0 bkk trex’s on the skippy

@Gibo. Kingi. I'de suggest going to at least 8/0 or 9/0. Gape works best to hookup if it exceeds lure thickness. Everything else appears good but.
