LaPala Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Welcome to the Hobby seahorse. Be fore-warned that the hobby can turn into an addiction; subsequently the ones u made yourself to loose in the weeds are more expensive than store bought stuff.

seahorse Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yes nova I finished my first home made hard bait today A basic jerk bait patern carefully weighted with lead slugs and tested for bouyancy in my high tech test tank (a large bucket) a very nice paint job (black and silver) which sank like a stone when I tried it I had done the bouyancy test without the eyes and hooks on I am definitely learning by my mistakes , but at least it looked good I think I will start a begginers #### up thread ,the way i,m going I should fill it quite quick Seahorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Sometimes learning by mistakes is the best way to learn. Pretty soon you'll be making foil-sided baits that work perfectly. There are a lot of guys on here that are very good at it and willing to help. Good luck. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
