davycrockett Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I did a TU search but struck out. I am working on a new musky topwater and need a pattern of a Tallywacker tail (like on a Topraider) The bait will be similar to a Topraider or Tallywacker. Stamina sells them but I figured I could make some out of sheet metal. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Iguess if you wanted to you could photocopy the pic from stamina/moore's, (or just design your own) and rubber cement it to some aluminum and cut out with tin snips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
out2llunge Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Make sure you use heavy aluminum or s.s. If you cheap out you'll get very frustrated with having to re-tune the tail all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davycrockett Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Found a couple of patterns on lurebuilding 101. Going to try one pattern while comparing it to my Topraiders tails. Not sure about the angle of the slot and the pitch(bend) of the blade. I guess I'll have to trash some lure blanks until it is right!
