Metal Head Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Hey fellow fishermen, Just thought I'd introduce myself.... Name is Eric and I am new to lure making. So far I have near zero success with making my own lures due to my habit of rushing to finish. Hand widdle all of my baits out of blocks of wood. Mainly make bluegill swimbaits, but like I said no luck. Maybe that'll change! Peace, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomdart Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 It will change, and you just have to be stubborn and keep going. One of those huge Cali bass is going to crush your bait. I feel that I can catch a fish on almost any bait if I try hard and long enough. I just wish our bass here got that big. Heard some rumors of 13 lb. bass being caught around here, but never saw one with my own peepers. Keep carving them up and you will also learn from the failures.

doomdart Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The guy in the background on the boat is trying to figure out how to knock him out and steal the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
