I've been on there a couple Times. I got interested in Lure making
by needing something to trade with Striper Lures guys from the East Coast Around Cape Cod & New Jersey. Alot of them won't sell their lures but they will Trade. So I figured the only way I could get some of the really good ones was to make my own. I actually have a couple of Etch a Sketch's lures. He posts on Tackleundergound as well as some of the Striper Fishing sites that I learned from. I've only been making lures for just under a year so In have a lot to learn still.
I had a few fish caught on some of my Lures back east. Stripers & Bluefish & recently A Tiger Musky in Wisconsin. I really want someone to catch a Mackinaw this winter so I've been fiddling with differtent patterns that Might entice the Macks. I'm sure you saw ths one in the Mackinaw Forum on The Sniffer.
