Totally Awesome Lure Making with James Lanfear

This is the latest video from the Totally Awesome Fishing Show featuring James Lanfear,
a great British lure builder, which is not as rare as it used to be. Hopefully with this inspiring video there will be a few more people prepared to turn the spare room or shed into a fully functioning lure workshop and at the same time save their marriage.

The Totally Awesome Fishing Show is one of my favourite youtube fishing channels run by father and son team the Pullens who I often wistfully imagine as a WWE wrestling team (maybe one day). Graeme Pullen, or dad as his son calls him has been a fishing journalist, writer, videographer and youtuber long enough to have probably seen it all. And when he is not fighting sharks or catching monster carp on baked beans he is sharing that wealth of knowledge experience through his channel in an accessible way that doesn't involve trying to sell you a brand of fishing tackle or a fist bumping personality.

For me this is what is great about you-tube getting access to people who give a sh*t about fishing and helping others. Viva La Pullens Please Subscribe to their channel. like, share, and leave them some kind words of support or I promise you the only fishing on you-tube will be some gimp in a buff casting for tarpon with a fly rod while on his day off from being a billionaire bastard banker (yes that is alliteration, but I think it works).

Behind the scenes at the Handmade Fisherman and a knife style lure

The new year is upon us and I have been a little busy making plans and videos. This is a look behind the scenes and I did not brush up first.

Hopefully this is going to be another big year for the Handmade Fisherman Youtube channel. Some people say you should set goals, but I say bollocks to them sitting in offices setting goals all day when they should get out fishing instead of hiding behind desks laughing about some shit they watched on last night’s tv. (viva la revolution)

Anyway back to them goals, I think my school teacher said it best when he wrote on my report, “Paul, must try harder.” So that is what I will be doing, trying harder and more importantly trying new things. I want to get out and go fishing with some new people, go to some new places and meet some new fish and make some new things and get it all on camera so you can come along.

I need help, watch the video it will explain.Thanks

This the other video I made before Christmas as a bonus

Moulding and casting a trout with Smooth-on

This I suppose is aimed at taxidermists and being made by a silicone and resin supplier is a little liberal with the silicone. With that said it is a great video that shows the process of casting from a real fish in some detail. I especially like the fins. Check out the youtube channel for more moulding and casting videos.
