Florida Don Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi all, First thanks for all the great info found here. I joined a couple days ago and have been browsing to gain info on making lures. I never knew that there was that much to it but am pleased to find out about it. I have some pretty good mechanical experience with plastics, die castings and stampings; so now that I am retired, I would like to make some lures. Currently live in the Tampa Bay Florida area - but am moving back to Michigan (miss the Ice Fishing) I have a home based business doing dye sublimation - putting pictures on stuff like tee shirts, coffee mugs, glass, wood etc. I also have some graphics experience. Also work PT in the pro shop at Sherman Hills Golf Club. Guess I'm only "semi" retired! So, if I can answer any questions, please feel free to post or send me a PM. I look forward to contributing and learning from you guys. Florida Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Florida Don. Welcome to the Tackleunderground. You're right, there it a ton of information here and it's all here for the tacking. Think about the fish you like to go after and how you like to catch them; often that will be the first kind of lure you'll want to try. If you select the Forums button, toward the bottom of the page you'll find a section titled Member Submitted Tutorials. There is a growing number of lessons on tackle making. Good luck on getting back to Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Don Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks to all for the welcome replies. I did view most of the tutorials before posting. They really got me interested. Now, it is time to experiment and probably ask a lot of questions. Great group - hope to contribute someday.
