Either way the results are by any standard amazing but details aren’t anything unless the bait does what its supposed to do, and boy does it. As a lure maker myself I often struggle with bouts of lure making jealousy and this one isn’t helping, what a piece of work, damn you sir and damn those hands. <iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E55NyFdPnXg" width="560"></iframe></span></span>Paul Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747973779452798014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697486048864810952.post-4398653653183809392018-10-06T07:24:00.000-07:002018-10-06T07:27:03.901-07:00Making cockney perch bobbers<div>
I do love a bit float making and float fishing and watching people makes floats and watching people float fish and having ice cream floats in my coffee and floating down the river and float.......... you get the picture. So these are a couple of videos from Barrie the London Predator Angler making perch bobbers. I have skipped my weekly visit to the psychiatrist for the cheaper and more rewarding therapy that comes from watching a grown man make fishing floats. </div>

The conditions were perfect with just a bit of breeze, warm but with cloud cover. Monday morning at the office I had some pike to catch and something for the end of this video. </span></div>

Predictably it was one of those firsts cast that result in a fish, oddly I was a little disappointed about no camera but happy in way because I had made a good start. </span></div>

The price of a great monday on the water is two days of editing and filming the rig making when the sun is shining and you want to get back out there. Happy days. Thanks again guys</span></div>

This father and son team have made a huge effort to share the joined up basics of fishing, which is often missing from the angling press that seems to be centred on selling things. They have covered everything from catching carp on baked beans to shark fishing and all with a not too serious but informative style.</span></div>

These articles come from a range of fishermen and writers that I am not sure you would find in any other magazine out there.</span></div>

It is a great idea allowing the lure to move away from the hook which saves on baits and I am guessing it gives the fish less to pry the hook out with. </span></div>

I filmed it last year in Ireland and it has been sat on my hard drive for a very long time so Maciej (of Mel Lures) who I was filming thought he would edit it together and put it on his channel and to be honest the editing is what makes it. The only problem is I had lost a some off the files, when I say lost maybe deleted would be more accurate , it is not something I remember doing but then remembering yesterday is often a challenge. </span></div>

Once again people go wear out his channel with likes and shares and if you have not subscribed to his channel I can only assume you're using a computer in prison. </span></div>

I was forced to answer questions on which particular piece of glassware was more suited to our household; which is really very difficult when no part of you cares in the slightest. I was not the only one to suffer this fate, I did bump into a Minotaur who was looking for some greek guy while Mrs Minotaur was asking him about soft furnishings. </span></div>

Despite Sweden's Crimes against humanity on the positive side they do have more than their fair share of lure makers as these soft plastic shad videos show.

Gary Yamamoto is An American, an air force vet and a bass tournament fisherman, but he is probably best known for his soft plastic fishing lures. His baits are still made in his factory in the USA by a mostly Native American Workforce whose ancestors were catching fish in the local lakes and rivers long before anybody decided to wrap an apple in some pastry. </span></span><br />

A lure builder with a drying rack to rival the work of Da vinci and for the video below he is making a spike to screw into his baits and hold them while they rotate on that rack as the epoxy cures. </span></div>

For me these two videos share a little of that bonkers experience that comes from catching fish on lures you have a least partly made yourself. </span></span><br />

This is a really interesting idea using spin casting which is normally used for casting small metal items to make soft plastic lures.

I have really enjoyed this series of videos from Splish Splash for two reasons; it covers making a sea trout lure in depth from start to finish and the other is because sea trout are little bolt of lightening and I have fond memories of fishing for them amongst the Scottish Hebrides (typed with a small tear in the corner of eye, and a hand looking for glass of 10 year old single malt). </span></div>

But there is lots of technical know how to take from these videos to your own projects like, making masters and moulds as well casting techniques. </span></div>

I suggest you subscribe and share or as Liam Neeson says in that film, “I will find you and I will Blah, Blah Blahhh”. </span></div>
