Can"t wait to get out and catch a fish on it. I have a few more in production, i now have the bug i"m in the process of developing some of my own lures as i don"t want to copy others. Any tips would be much appreciated........... Look out for posts of my first catch.

Well done, Stuart.  Looks the goods Big smile.  Now it's time to catch some fish on it!
 
Thislure isn't a Macleay Minnow, it's a 7 cm Minnow.  You must have bought a luremaking kit from me, at the 4WD Show, a few weeks ago.
 
The 7 cm Minnow and Macleay Minnow are very similar shapes. Strangely enough, they were designed at different times and for different purposes.The Macleay Minnow was designed for river bass fishing.  The 7 cm Minnow was designed as a versatile (all rounder) lure that I used to teach the kids at Tenterfield High School how to make lures.
 
I was back in Tenterfield a few days ago, talking to the students about careers in agriculture and the courses that we offer at Tocal Ag College. It was a bit nostalgic being back in the room where I taught agriculture and lure making for 8 years.  It's been 16 years since I last stepped foot in that room.
 
Good luck with the lure making.
 
Cheers
 
Travers

Thanks for the info Travers, I actually got the kit from a mate when i was living in Penrith. We went on a fishing trip to lake Lyell a couple of years back and my mates were catching heaps of bass and trout on your minnows. I just had to have them they are a great lure the bass definitely love them. I only just got around to making them last week now i'm hooked. I can't wait to make some more lures once i get some more supplies.

Thanks for the post.

Stuart
