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

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.
