I seem to be in the mist of at least half a dozen new (new to me) lure
building projects at the moment and wondering which one to make a video out of
or if I will every go fishing again to catch fish rather than to test prototypes. So far, ahead of the pack is a swim bait I am working on which is a
first for me and I am quickly learning it is all about the joints so rather
than try and construct something from wire I am experimenting with a polycarbon
chassis and hinges with a balsa body or maybe foam. The trouble with
experimenting is it often leads to other places and the original lure gets lost so
I am trying to concentrate and also simplify some of the my more ridiculous ideas.
Eventually I hope to make a lure that looks like a
mackerel and I can finally use if I ever get to do any sea bass fishing.
