RayburnGuy Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Here's a link to a post that was posted just a few days ago. That should get you started. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/18380-new-book/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 @ mr jenkins Welcome to TU ! Check My link , there is "The Canadian Guide to Luremaking" in the free download section available , but this is rather a brief describtion for any kind of lures , but not bad for basic knowledge ! You may also go to My link , this is a Dutch site(English version available)about luremaking , quite a few describtions and patterns accessible there . If you wanna build a sinking pike/muskie glider , I recommend the model named "The Roach" in there , it's original name is "Heiddy" . An "easy build/easy fish" lure , perfect for the beginner , and also a proven catcher ! Also some useful stuff to be found on http://www.tacklemaking.com/ Further I can recommend this book : http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Tackle-Making/dp/1558217215 Deals on any kind of lures as well , about 1/3 of the book is on rod making . Otherwise you may also check out some instructional videos on My link , utilize the search function with terms like "luremaking" , "lurebuilding" , "making lures",.......and the like ! Here is a nice example from Finland : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjmefnZ13YQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPIwwO2qrpM Off course you may also utilize the search function of this site , virtually anything about making lures at home has already been discussed in here , you only ought to find the info . good luck starting out , ..........greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 @ mr jenkins Just came across this one here , .........it's a German site , but quite a few "step-by-step" pictures in the "tutorials" section , ..........maybe you could also utilize the "Google" translator to get more out of the write-ups ? http://jbaitz.de/index.php good luck , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
