tassiedevil Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi all, I just wanted to say hi and say how much of a great forum you guys have here. with some of the reading i have been doing in this forum you have answered some of the questons that i had when doing my own lures. I live in Australia From tasmania where the trout fishing is spot on and people come from all over the world to catch our wild brown trout. I started making my own balsa lures about eight years ago and only made about 20, i caught plenty of trout on my lures but ran into a few troubles with paints and top coats. some lures would be fine but others not so good But now with the help from your forums i have started again and fingers crossed all the problems i used to have are a thing of the past I will try and add a couple of photos of some lures i have just finished. No where as good as some of the lures i have seen on here but its all a learning thing So i just wanted to say hi and thankyou for this great forum, cheers Adam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tassiedevil Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Sorry forgot it was forum rules that i was not allowed to add photos of my work to my post. I tried to edit the post and remove photos and add them to gallery but could not work out how to do it. Sorry guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diemai Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 G'day , Adam , Welcome to the TackleUnderground , ....I see , that you obviously use rattlecans and brush painting to color your lures , very nice ones these are , I like the detailed painting of mouth , gills and eyes . Though I've never been to DownUnder , I'm just a little bit familiar to Tasmanian trout fishing , at least regarding the lures being used . From what I've seen on another site , it looks like the Brownies over there really love such lures in those particular color patterns , seen quite a few made by other carvers for the same purpose . Hope , you'd enjoy yourself in here , ...cheers , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewaterspecial Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Adam, Welcome...I just started here at TU a few weeks ago myself. There are many great guys here with help abound. I really like your paint work just as deimai mentioned. I have been making lures for about three years now, and just finished my 65th one....but, since coming on the site, I realize how much I can improve or just developed new techniques. Anyways welcome, I hope you post more pictures of your lures. As they say around here....tight lines. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
