Al',

Cool, I can make some inbetween my other lures and see how I go, I will post up my efforts once complete....

Are you in M'borough QLD? I lived there for a stint about 8 months machining wood for Hyne and Son...before the world economy crashed Dead Must get back for a holiday.

Hi Al' 

How big is meal size? or should I say how hungry do they get? 

Most of my lures I make are for inshore/blue water pelagics...Some are quite large 270mm long and 150-200g etc, these with an accurate cast may be lethal to bass LOL

I originally started making "plugs" inspired by US striper fisherman, but have only started to dabble in smaller freshwater lures. What size baits do you normally fish?

I am glad you like it Red...Approve

Was good fun, a lot smaller than than my usual lures by about 100g LOL but is good for honing the skills and increasing my wood recovery! Wink

P.S Great Website!
