#1785, "Getting Better at Lure Making"


  

          

I see there are a few guys here that make there own lures as well. :-) I've been turning my own for just under a year now but I've had a lot of help from the Striper Guys on the East Coast. Here's a few I recently finished to test on the Mackinaw Trout up in the High country lakes this Winter.

Also attempted some smaller Freshwater stuff for a Tackle Swap I was a Participant in. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f399/sportyguy66/freshies015ff.jpg

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.

You are one of those masters at lure building that inspire me. It's
guy like you who are really good that make me want to improve and
eventually get better at this Hobby. I messed up on the swivel choice
on these lures. They'll be coming off so I can replace them with stronger spros swivels that are stronger & shorter.
