7" trout finished
Here are five of the six 7" trout I made from PVC decking. The sixth is tied on to my rod for tomorrow.
There are two floaters, weighing 70grams+-, and four sinkers, rate of fall 1'/second+-, which weigh approx. 80 grams each.
I found the PVC a little harder to machine than wood, but the baits are so much harder and impact resistant it is worth the extra work.
I did these as a test run, to see how long it would take per lure. It averages out to 2 1/2 hours each. With $15 in supplies, I think I'd have to sell them for $75 to make money, and make it worth my while.
But these are just for fun. One is already promised to a buddy for his birthday.
