cemcjoe Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm kinda new to this great hobby. I;m looking for some references as to were to place the tow points ,hook placement and in general just the basic design drawings. If anyone has any advice please pass it along so that I may start enjoying the art of properly working lure making. I have made a few baits already but one problem after another.

Vodkaman Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have actually just drawn up plans for a flat sided lure. But it is only 40mm long. Let me know if it is any use to you. Yes, there are nearly always going to be problems. When making a new bait, you have to assume that it may take a few prototypes to get to what you want. When you build up experience with building a lot of lures, you can cut down this work and occasionally get it right first time. But to get the most out of a particular body shape does take a few trials, lip sizes, tow eye positions, ballast locations. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
