DeVeryTY Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hi guys and gals, Came up with this after playing with some interesting artificial fly tying materials. I especially like the effect the floss gives on the tail. I'm also thinking to sticking to a colored tube body and beads for spinners and the "Guppy" and other shapes for jigs and buzzbaits. Better pictures are at: http://groups.msn.com/HomemadeFishingLures/firecrackerspinner.msnw?albumlist=2 Wouldn't mind hearing some thoughts. Thanx again, DeVery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebler_custom_baits Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hey DeVery, I am now building a shadow box for extraordinary lures that i receive and so far your glass creations are the centerpiece. ONe again, Fine work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeryTY Posted August 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thanx for the compliment Zook. I think it's pretty good as well. The only problem is the cost of fly floss. & Sieb you're giving me way too much honor, but thank you none the less. Let me know how it looks in there!

earthworm77 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 I was very impressed with those little spinners DE. I'm almost afraid to fish them. If they smack a rock, will damage result? They look like the are made or glass. I might just put them in a show case as well. They are just too pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeryTY Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi E77, It is made of glass. If you hit it with a hammer it would shatter, If you rode over it with your car it would shatter, If you dropped a boat on it, it would shatter. They don't shatter all that easy, depending on what type of bouncing you do off the rock they'll do fine, for example I use my lures all the time in shallow streams and rivers with never any breakage, they seem to do well being retrieved and skipping off bed gravel and stone. But I wouldn't cast into a rocky stream inches in depth. I've also no problem using my lures in any other situation, just don't hit them with hammers or drive over them and they'll be fine.
