Hello Lure Lovers
Some minutes ago I introduced myself at Welcome section.  Greetings from Peru.

As I said before in my introduction, part of my fishing passion is collect lures. In this Thread, I want to share with you my first dozen of Attila Fat Minnow (now I have more), made by myself at my shop in my home. I have another collections of plugs (Bomber, Yo-zuri, Rapala, DUO, Daiwa)...

Something I would like to say is that each Attila Fat Minnow is one of a kind wooden plug, because I made them with my hands and it is impossible to do two exact ones... Also, I numbered each wooden plug I make.

The Attila Fat Minnow is a wooden plug with these characteristics:
 -  4.5" long
-  Weights around 1oz each,
-  Weight shifting system,
-  Two Japanese saltwater treble hooks #01
-  Shocking colours
-  Reflective holograms
-  3d eyes (halves to give a mean look)

I hope you like the video and my work... leave me your comments...

Very nice work in these ones.  That is a really nice weight for punching big casts out in the surf.

Hello Whipit, Ducks, Mr. Viper, Horrorhead,
Thank you very much for your comments, I am very grateful... Let me tell you, that first dozen were the first wooden lures I made in my life, and I enjoyed a lot doing them. Since then, I have had some progress with this hobby. I did more Attilas, like the "Attila Fat Minnow Version 2" which is a little thinner and larger than Version 1, and now I'm working in Version 3 with fixed weight instead shifting system. Also, with the idea to do a lure for a pike or some other dented fish, I began to carve plugs using a harder wood which is also heavier than Balsa. I hope to publish a new video of those new plugs soon in my Youtube channel.  Finally, my last project is the "Attila Veneno" which is a Darter type lure...
Please, in case you have questions or any recommendation about my work I will be very happy to receive your messages.
