hay lure makers what are you building?

Well, I'm by no means afraid of bait on a hook. But, if I can get away without it, I will. Some of the little jigs I'm tying are designed to be tipped with waxworms or spikes and fished under a bobber.

But I'll try them on the fly rod anyway....just because I can

that's the nice thing about this site cause of the freedoms you give us. un- like that other sites you mention worms or waxies its like a jinx and you get blasted for saying it.. I could care less what people fish that why I brought it up so you see my point there...

For me it was always a matter of fish numbers and water visibility for using just on the fly rod, or with a bobber.  the bobber allows for slowing the presentation down.

Those came out awesome! I just need the time, patience,  and knowledge,  and I would like to craft the same exact lures.

Thanks...it isn't as hard as you think!

So I started experimenting with a couple different styles of lures...I am happy with them...I think they will catch fish...I have a bunch of different blanks now so the experiments will continue...I went with a Orange/Silver, Black/Gold, Black/Gold Red Gill and I tried a Rainbow Trout.  The Rainbow isn't my favorite I have to do a few things different I think to make it how I want!  I am so ready to start trying this stuff in the new boat!  I ordered some different style eyes, more split rings and more trebles...I will finish them later this upcoming week!

they look awesome still huntny30!

I think the problem with the rainbow trout is the blue on the pink and green those two color the green and pink are color correct to me but I would use black dots in stead of blue personally... how I would do it is take some black paint and spray it in to the cap so it puddle up in the cap then take a tooth pick and dip the tip in the paint and make dot with the tooth pick by toughing the painted tooth pick to the lure and moving it in a circle I would add it more on the green and a few on the pink but not as many on the pink.. I got some eppinger spoons painted green and silver with a pink stripe with a silver belly I add black dot to...care full of over spray if you got cars around...stager them dot so they don't look like a machine did it they should come out fine! I will see if I can find a picture of the trout that the dot would be more correct looking for if I can ... also the 4 inch size of these lures are a tad big for trout par is why I suggest a adult trout or a yearling trout...


like in this picture I pull off the web..
