Boskabouter Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 After I made some softbaits I got interested in building hardbaits as well. I finished my first one yesterday: And another two this morning: This afternoon I took the first one out in the field to test it, it's okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-A-Pike Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Boskabouter. That is just plain cruel, teasing that poor, old, near sighted pike like that. Those really turned out looking great and think your little friend agrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boskabouter Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanx for the comments. This pike simply couldn't resist the pikecandy Catching on your selfmade baits is awesome. These first jerkbaits are actually nothing fancy. I painted them the old school way with rattle cans. Takes some practice but you can still get nice results.

Boskabouter Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks Phil and you are correct, they are completely handcarved. Two holes weighted and about 50-60 grams each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well done, wish we had your weather, near zero here today. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boskabouter Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Man I'm sure you don't wanna change weather. It's one long autumn overhere from oktober to april. Hard wind and lots of rain. The seasons are really changing in the Netherlands (just like everywhere I guess). It's been ages since we had a real winter.

RiverMan Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 About the same here, 20 years ago we would get snow that would last for weeks and weeks and now we very seldom get any snow. This year the mountains actually have a substantial amount of snow, the first time in 5-10 years. We get our share of wind too, there are windmills on many of the ridge tops not far from me. Jed V.
