Them Muskie Lures Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Here are my first lures utilizing thru wire construction. I used .062 304L stainless steel wire and drilled through the entire bait. Both types of baits are 4" long. What do you think?

Them Muskie Lures Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Diemai, Thanks. I have been making lures for a while, just screw eye versions. These were my first ones using thru wire. Yes, I was able to find some open water last weekend and they all ran perfectly without tuning. My best guess I will get 4-6 feet as these are designed for spring and fall/winter fishing. I am making a deeper diving version as well, but wanted to focus on the shallow baits.

Them Muskie Lures Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, Thanks. I used the material that you use to line drawers. I found it at Wal-Mart I believe. If you can't find it, send me a PM and I will send you a piece if you want some.
