    Posted: 31 Jan 2013 at 1:25pm
Found another old lure I made a few years ago, a shape that was inspired by old nth qld lures.... caught me a heap of bass.
Ive allways liked the shape of the old traditional NTH QLD style lures, and purchased a few over the past couple of years from various makers.
Ive noticed that the majority of these style lures have a obvious side to side sway type action....obviously made for their areas and the species they are chasing, nothing wrong with this action at all.....time has proven it works, but my preference is a tighter jiggety jig type action for the fishing in my local area.
 
Peter rayner supplied me with some bibs, and ive been experimenting with different shapes trying to match them up.
 
Ive made about half a dozen of these little minnows over the past 2 years, and finally got the action I was after, the others have caught fish and do swim well, but just didnt do it for me 100%(action wise) but this little nude will be the first of many more to come, Im happy with it overall.
Ive named them "POMONA MINNOW".....Smile.....58mm long overall.
 
 
this is the old one made a few years ago, gal wires, tin bib.....lure carved from an old broom handle with a knife, painted with sray can..no undercoat..nice and rough.
caught a lot of nice bass locally.
 
The little nude is the latest one, stainless wires, ally bib, hand carved western cedar.....no machine at all, except a drill to place holes for towpoint/hook hangers.....overall 58mm....nice snack size.
 
the old and the new
Thanyou for looking.
