Plastic, 10 drops LC Amber Brown, 1 pinch Orange Hi-light (Might have gone a little too heavy on this), 1 smidgen 0.015 orange, 1 smidgen 0.015 black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Very Nice - what method did you use to cut the tails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyA Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks guys. I used the LC tail cutter. However, I just ordered some fiskar blades to make a tool similar to what Bojon uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Great job!I like to see people having sucess using this method.I have had a lot of requests for tube makers wanting the Bojon tail cutter.I have 8 for sell at this time and I'm waiting to get my PayPal account set up.Should be ready in the next few days.The eight I have include a small pan as shown in my illustrations,plus two samples of the type of rods I use,written instructions(with illustrations) how to dip the horozontal method,a tail cutter cleaner,some craft sticks(Important),the tail cutter has 14 blades.Not fancy stuff but the same Ive used for a whole bunch of years.It will work just fine.I'm making a bunch more of the cutters that I plan to sell without the pan and stuff.Private message me to get on the list.I don't know what the demand will be.I may have too many in stock right now.I'm only offering this cutter on the TU site.

SWO Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I highly recommend the Bojon kit. Using it was an excellent way to get me started in tube making. His kit saved me a lot of time and effort in running down the components that I needed to get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyA Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bojon, How do I order the kit? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetofish Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Bojon, I am also interested in ordering a kit from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You can reserve a kit,by private messaging me.The kit is $48.00 priority mail included.I can send you recommendations from my other lure makers if you want. After these kits are gone,there will be no more.Too big of a hassele.I will continue to sell the Bojon tail cutter,but the price will be about the same as the kit.
