Not quite sure what you mean by clogging up? My lures come out mostly shiny and polish looking. It's only when I touch them that they seem to get "finger prints" all over them. Do you think I should still sand with such a low grit? ps. Sorry for all my questions. Really quite a noob here
-
Nice.. Yeh I've been letting mine sit in the sun. Going to sand them a bit with 1500 and 2000 grit sand paper before polishing
-
Thanks for the tips guys.. Ill try dip in acetone tommorow and polish. im currently using an orbital polisher to polish mine. What are you guys using?
-
What resin are you guys using ?
-
Yeh really odd. Like if I hold them tight, I'd leave some finger prints on them. ill try steves recommendation of more hardener and a few days of sun. im casting them in pinkysil
-
How are u polishing urs? I'm using diggers casting resin but noticed mine are still "smudging" after 2-3 days
-
Tying them on with dental floss

Had a crack at making some lures. After many attempts, here are my first 2 that I'm happy with

I found that I could just shape fishing sinkers with a vice.. Seems to work for me
-
Thanks rjts. I'm thinking of adding a few small fishing sinkers or nails to the lower half of the insert. That should act as a keel
-
Another question, how r u guys making the inserts? Is it from lead ? Or did u cast it from resin?
-
Been pretty quiet in here. Anyone head out recently or have any reports? im thinking of giving it a shot on thur

ThanKs Steve!

Hi guys, just wondering where ur getting this plastic leader tube from? cheers
-
Yeh that's where I got the idea. I've recently bought about $600 worth of lures from the states. Planning to test them all out this season and replicate winners. Did you dremel down the brass steve ? I saw this youtube video on the finishing process.
-
Thanks for the response guys! A great help! Will post up some pics once I get mine made. Planning to use bonito, pillie and dollie skin for the inserts
-
thanks stevefish. did u have to cut the mold to retrieve the master lures or were u able to just pull them out ?
-
Nice post guys. I'm very interested in this thread. Just wondering if u had to spray anything on the original lures to stop them sticking to the pinkysil?

I've got a Haines hunter 530 with a 115 Yamaha and I get about 35 knots with just me in my boat
-
Thanks for the report finin. Saved us all fuel and effort!
-
Thanks Trojan. Snapper fishing it is!
-
Hi guys, Seems it's been a bit quiet on this front lately. I'm thinking of heading out this sat. Do u guys think it'd be worth a trip out wide and if so, what should I target? Cheers
-
Use an old boat roller. U wedge it where the hydraulic axle that adjusts ur trim is. Yamaha sell something very similar for a ridiculous price
-
awesome . thanks guys! I've bought myself about 12 lures... mostly 4x 5" and 7x7" fingers crossed they get me some fin !

Hi all, Just wondering what size lures people use for yellowfin and bluefin tuna? Cheers
