A New Dozen

Some grub style lures handcarved from PVC refridgerator insulation material , ...I think , that this material is superior over timber for carving out such body details , as it does not have any grains to take care about .

Only little drawback are occassionally enclosed airbubbles , but if not too large , my acrylic primer also having filler properties would take care of these .

Eyes are the plastic heads of taylor pins stuck into round countersunks furnished with a ball router bit , ..leaving a Little part of the pin acting as a stem .

Watch them swim :

You have gotten very good at the tub tests. Your even able to judge a general  diving depth. I spend more time in your tub than my own. :-)

I was wondering which action you felt was the best? I guess that would depend on fishing. Lets just say best all around? Thanks again for sharing your baits!!!

Vic , I can't really tell about the one with the best action , ....it's up to the fish to judge , I guess .

 

But I like the Xing of the larger wooden grub lure with the Pikie style lip , ..also the Xing of the little bug , ...and especially the zig-zag path of the downsized salmon plug .

 

But if I had to name the best all around action , I would go for the minnow baits with the Finnish circular and saddle lips .

 

But I believe , that every lure , actionwise  and colorwise alike , would have it's own time and place , ...to find out , ....that's about fishing , LOL ! Greetz , Dieter

Thanks a lot , Ryan , ....took me quite a while to calm my own sweetheart down assuring her , that lure testing would not scratch up the tub's interior , LOL !

 

Well , ......at least , when not testing metal lures , ...but with these I'm extra careful , LOL ! Greetz , Dieter
