  1. thanks but it doesnt work, ive send a message to TU about a week ago about my problem but i still have not received a reply yet. i think im going to delete my account and start a new one
  2. you maybe loose more fish when you dont use splitrings. they get leverage easier to get off the hook because there is less space for the hook to move against (or compared to?) the lure. i dont know how to say it differenly, i hope its clear. english is not my mother language. in my opinion lures with hook rash catch just as good as lures without.
  3. is balsa wood strong enough for screw eyes? im not a big fan of screw eyes or twisting my own wire screw eyes. i think its ok for some lures like hardwood swimbaits, but im not sure about balsa wood. i just like trough wire lures more. i want to make a swimbait out of balsa, what would be the best way to do that? should i cut the blank in half and put the wire and weights inside or should i make a groove in the belly of the lure? ive done some lures with a groove in the belly, im pleased with the results but unfortunately i still cant upload any pictures in the gallery. thanks in advance, Chris

  10. thanks but i have no idea.. attach file doesnt appear after selecting.
  11. i was about to uplaod my first picture but i cant click anything but browse. when ive selected a picture i still cant click anything and nothing happens. i have no idea whats wrong, anyone else has this problem too?
  12. 'thanks, ill definetly try that on the second one i paint.
  13. its not that the thickness of the line is visible, its more that its a very straight line from the foil to the paint..
  14. i started painting my first lure with rattlecan paint. the lure is also foiled, so i put some tape on the sides so that the paint wouldnt cover the foil completely. but because of the tape there is a thick line from the foil to the paint. i tried painting without the tape on but then the paint just covers all of the foil. how can i make this foil > paint transition a bit smoother? i hope u guys have some ideas, thanks in advance Chris
  15. they always look great.. but gliding bitch? lol
  16. a foil gill plate, mayb a darker back or lighter belly, some contrasting spots? i have no experience with painting tho...
  17. thanks, i think ill try the brass tube and seal it with somekind of coating before putting it in. pvc is very easy to work with, but im not sure if it will withstand alot of pike teeth. they are what i mainly fish for. anyone experience with this? ill upload some pictures of my lures as soon as im finished painting
  18. hello im new to this place and so far ive found some great info. i recently started making lures and i would like to make a wooden jointed lure now. i really like the groove and tongue joints but how can i make them able to move very easily? i was thinking about putting a steel or plastic tube trough the tongue part to make the rotating easier but i dont know if thats a good idea. greets from Holland, Chris
  19. i think if the crankbait is short compared to the treble that you want to use, you can use a single treble on the front. if you choose to put a single treble on the back you maybe have to put some more weight in the belly of the bait to compensate for the missing treble, or not if you want it to have a slightly different action.
