Coley Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Thanks for the nice comments about the other blank. I think the pic says it all. What I really like about it, is that there is no epoxy at the bottom of the lure and no drilled holes to finish. I used two 1/8 oz. egg sinkers for weight. This is a little harder to do than the other method, it may be the best way. What do you think?? And by the way Hughesy, the mind is the first thing to go, I started making baits in late March of this year. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Sorry Coley, You're right, I'm gettin old and things are starting to go.

Skeeter Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hughesy, I too have the exact same problems you do with age. I'm 46 and alot of stuff is starting to go on me too. What you and I really need to worry about is the fact that Coley is older than both of us. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Skeet, tell me you're kiddin'. I thought Coley was a teenager. Now I know why his stuff is so good. The older the violin the sweeter the music! Not that you young wipper snappers aren't putting out great work. I'm loving seeing the skill, craftsmanship, dedication, and ingenuity continue to grow in the great art of luresmithing. Keep it up guys. It does nothing but get better and better.

Coley Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Sure does make a guy feel good. You can butter me up all you want, still, no free baits. lol The both of you have forgotten more than I'll ever know about making baits.
