Paulbee Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi, Been a silent member for sometime reading all bout the beautiful lures u make. WELL finally tried it out and made a 2 lures. seen below. The made from balsa hollowed out with weights and rattles put inside. Happy to say I tried them out Yesterday. The blue one hit a death roll but the lavender one worked like a charm, and with that said caught a bass on the 5 th cast. Man I was so happy! hehehe Thanks for all the help. Now to get cracking on some new designs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodkaman Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Paulbee, you may be able to rescue the horizontal lipped lure that rolls. Rather than bin it, try trimming the lip a bit shorter. If you want to keep it for posterity then that is OK too. But by trimming and altering a failed bait, you are learning. Failed baits are a bonus in my mind. They both look great and catchers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullin8s Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 very nice, nothing like catching fish on something you made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulbee Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Shot for the tips. Gonna try and modify the blue one, else chalk it up to experience. Already was in the workshop last night putting a new design together that should be ready for paint tonight. My local fishing hole bass love lavender, so color wise theres not much variation. They seem to feed on a purple and black bream. So not much left to artwork. heehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
