Hi people my 10yr old daughter Stephanie has been wanting to learn lure making so Powelly gave her a couple of blanks from his lure kit some instruction on sanding and away she went
Steph sanding
sanded and ready for glue
the finished lures, Steph wanted them nude but she asked me to do the eyes, the rest was done by Steph
now off to chase fish with em this week, lookout Dunbogan

That is a new twist on the hybrid lure, Powell blank and Aklure advice and eyes with Steph supplying labour input. Great work Steph wait till you get to my input and I recon some radical shapes and colours and sure Nicho won't mind if you use some dots and spots. Sky the limit here.........

Well done Steph . . .
It should be noted that the early lure manufacturers like Heddon and Chub Creek employed mainly females to finish, paint and assemble lures as their attention to detail was better than males. There are photos of the entire work force which shows this and the CCBC employees were all female and they worked there until the factory was closed. Watch out fellas MXB |

Good stuff Gary and Steph, my 13 yr old son had ago a few days ago, gave him a blank and the stanley knife and said be careful probally a dozen times, second slice with the knife also a thin fillet of skin from the index finger it didn`t hardly bleed but that was it no more lure carving for him, but its great to see the young ones having ago. It`s all ways good Gary to have someone close at hand to ask for advice, cheers Bryan.
