Making a wooden lure with All Day I'm Fishing

Neto Icas Bait Pen

If only Mr Biro had been Brazilian he may have created something a least one hundred times cooler than a pen. Thankfully we have  João Neto Iscas a man who does not just think outside the box but would probably recycle it into a boat. The pen lure, his creation is a killer for Peacock Bass and I suspect many species. I personally cannot wait to see what he would do with the rest of the rubbish we have on our desks like staplers and hole punches never mind the executive toys.

Oh yes and he sells them so you don't have to cut up your own stationary https://www.facebook.com/joaoneto.netoiscas

Tank Test Tuesday

A weekly round up of test tank action from around the globe



Check out this Beauty from Ireland via Mel Handmade Lures and for further inspiration there is a link to his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/melhandmadelures. Hand carved original that he is resin casting, painting and coating with epoxy.

From Romania and the hands of Totoianu Mihai come the the Killer B, this thing although tiny at 2.5cm or an inch has got to drive trout or even chub wild, at one point I found myself licking the screen.



And finally for this week from Switzerland via Mark Balmer a little bit of balsa with some nice but action.

If you have tank test video you want to add e-mail me at paulpadam@aol.com using the title Tank test Tuesday and send me a link to you youtube video,  include a picture of the bait and some details about yourself and where your from

Monday Morning at the office, for some lucky barstools

When I worked in an office in a city my friend who worked on lobster boat in Cardigan Bay used to ring me regularly to update me on how many dolphins were riding the bow wave of the boat, the bastard.
