Inspired by TU

Just one more banana-style , but this time inspired by the designs of "Luretrekker" , displayed in the thread "new Banana lure" here at TU :worship:.

Carved from limewood with an internal wire harness glued into a slot in the belly .

Together with the wire form I had glued in some roofing lead sheet into the slot , placed fore and aft the belly hook hanger , but during first bath tub testing(still unpainted) I had found out , that this ballast was not sufficient and so I had to embed two more medium leadshots into bores left and right of the assembled harness ,..... at about the eye level .

The lure still floats up , but hangs quite deep , ......for a "banana"-style it has a moderate "X"-ing wiggle with only a little roll of body .

Dives to approx. 5 to 7 feet and does not overturn ,...... even if jerked .

A lure for days , when pike maybe respond better to a little more "insignificant" offering .

greetz, diemai:yay:

Hi Dieter,

I just saw that you built one of those bananas we talked about. Very nice...it remembers me the time when I was building bananas all the time ;-)

Hope it will bring a nice fish...
