Solarbaits has scaled things up a little well a lot

In Finland they have a saying “The journey of 10,000 scales begins with a single knife cut.” I just made that up it, but carving 10,000 scales is either dedication above and beyond or something that should be treated in one of those special hospitals they normally stick out in the countryside. 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.

Making cockney perch bobbers

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.
