Its sounds like your having a rough time just getting to make a few lures Raghubir ,your doing well though as these are looking nice .Once you get the clearcoat on and the bibs these will look pretty good,the clear will make the colors and the foil stand out more.

Nicw work nate. Sounds like a challenge just to get the things you need to make them. Your heat would not make it easy either. You sound like you will beat it all. Well done.
Cheers Brad |

Based on the outcome will start for other lure. I have plan to test other 3 lures in my bath tube for weighing & action. Yes, will post the pictures once through. Thanks, Regards Raghubir |

Hi
Peter, good morning!! Do you mean, should I reduce the hooks with smaller size. The length of the lure from the nose to the tail of the lure is 11cm, does the small hooks for cosmetic look or add to the functional part of giving more action. Thanks Peter for your observation and advise. Regards, Raghubir |

Hi raghubir, if you try 1 size smaller it may improve the action and should still be big enough to ensure good hooking ability. Definitely worth trying ,you will be surprised the difference it can make. I like fairly big hooks myself but the bigger the hook the more effect it has on dulling the action of the lure. They are looking really good, hope your dubai fish appreciate them !

Hi
Peter, thanks again for suggestion will try with small hooks. Here preadator fishes like kingfish, cobia, barracuda and mahi-mahi love to hit any moving object enticing like a bait fish. 😊 Thanks, regards Raghubir |
