Fishing lures
I fish at least 4 hours a week, and have seen hand-turned lures on ebay etc: for extravagent prices. I was wondering if anybody else had any experience in turning fishing lures?
If so, post a link, or what you know.
Regards.....Joash

Poppers, are the only ones you can make out of wood. They float on water, usually a lure is referring to a lure made of metal etc: So than it can sin and not float.

theres a guy at the local turning club who hand carves lures out of cedar. maybe you could give carving a go.
regarding poppers, the article in a mag that dad saw ( the guy was using a GMC lathe :eek said to use pine or a hardwood.

Caught my biggest fish on a home made lure, the 28.5kg (63lb) mulloway (jewfish) was caught on a luminous fibreglass minnow at a river mouth during flood times - lost bigger one's too as is always the case.
Some guys also turned wooden plugs filled them with lead - fairly crude but they caught heaps of big fish on them too - would cast them 100m consistently with overhead gear 50lb line - aarh the good old days. I have some examples of these plugs at home but they are pretty heavy duty stuff - weigh about 4-5oz.Cheers

ummmm, if you look back on that thread, you will see someone else spoted that, and I calculated it out for everyone. Scroll down and have another look. It works out at around 1200
