Fly tying mates with lure making? The diving bill on this one was snipped from a tomato container. It isn't strong enough. They tend to bend and/or break eventually. Especially when it's cold. But it does work. I'm looking around for a good supply of stouter plastic. The body takes about ten minutes. Maybe another 5 minutes or so for the paint job. And then an hour or two for glue to set up and dry. Dives and wiggles like crazy. The position of the leader exit hole determines the action. High up on the diving bill makes a wide slow motion wobbler that doesn't dive deeply. Lower down on the bill makes a tight high speed vibrator that dives surprisingly well. And deeply. These lures (the way this one is made) sinks at rest. You can either add more foam or reduce weight some to make one that suspends or even floats at rest. body: snipped with scissors from soft but buoyant closed cell foam. Slit the underside of the body with a razor blade. weight: 3/8 or 1/2 ounce slip sinker threaded onto plastic tubing and then pressed into the slit in the body foam. Soak the body slit with Super Glue. Hold it together for a 15 seconds or so. diving bill: snipped from plastic sheeting, roughed up with sand paper and glued to the foam with Super Glue. Poke a hole in the bill for a leader. Push the leader tippet through the diving bill hole. Poke the leader through the plastic tubing buried inside the slip sinker, buried inside the body. Press on some adhesive backed eyes. Slobber Super Glue around the eyes to fix them permanently. Mark up the foam with permanent magic markers, which are not permanent. So after making the color job with marking pens slobber on some clear water based fabric cement to fix the colors permanently. Set it aside to dry. Tune the action by trimming the diving bill with diagonal cutters (dikes) or toe nail clippers. If it tracks to the right trim the left side of the bill. If anyone has any ideas about where and how to buy stouter sheet plastic, for making diving bills, I'd love to hear about it. Tomato container diving bills are fine for tiny fly rod trout and pan fish wigglers. But they aren't strong enough for fist sized bass lures. Sheet metal sheers cut through all kinds of plastic. Like sewing scissors on paper.
