This lure-model called "Whirligig" was designed in the late 1940's in Pennsylvania , but never commercialized . I found the building instructions in "The Book Of Lures" , by Charles K. Fox . I made my first "Whirligig's" a few years ago , and that lure became one of my favourites for topwater piking , I'll always remember one day some years ago , when I had seven attacks of pike within a bit more than one hour on such a lure in a larger pond . Though I could only land four of them , it's been a great day for me:) . I turn them on a lathe from Abache-wood , in lengths of 80 to 115 mm(25,4 mm make up for 1 inch) , the lure "walks-the-dog" on surface , on faster reeling it dives down to 1 to 1 1/2 feet , featuring a wide wiggle , but can also be made to dart sideward by rodtip manipulation . greetings from Germany , diemai -
Couple of days ago I came across this lovely site and now I made up my mind about participating a bit . I was born 1961 , live in a small town 20miles east of Hamburg/northern Germany . I've been fishing for approx. 20 years by now , about since that time I'm also making my own tackle and lures . My first spinnerblades those days I cut out from the bottoms of beverage cans(already had that curved shape) , but nowadays I've come a long way furher , I guess . I've been casting sinkers , making floats and bobbers of balsa and reed , swaging blades and spoons from sheet metal , building chumming baskets of meshed wire and carving lots of wooden lures , etc...........! Of course I've also been catching fish:) ! Through the years my stock of homemade lures grew to countless numbers , and still I have new ideas:wink: , that I as well get from sites like this one , since I decided to also get online some months ago .

I wonder , how you managed to get such a long hole through the 9" lurebody ? I also sometimes employ this eyelet configuration , but only through approx. 3" rear section of lures with rotating heads . Greetings , diemai (Germany) -
