Well I've looked through a heap of the lure posts and they are all top shelf. I have very few tools to make my bits and pieces. Basically a stanley knife, dremmel, sand paper and spray paint and lacquer so I'm feeling a bit amateurish when I see the works of art that others create. However, I've managed to make them swim well. I call my lures Hucklebucks so if anyone remembers Chubby Checker ...  wriggle like a snake, wobble like a duck - that's what you do when you do the hucklebuck.
Cheers,
Snapper

Mate, Don’t worry what they look like. The first and most important thing is that they catch fish. Most lure makers I know are embarrassed by their first attempts but they should be proud of them
