Legendary Lures Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 A while back, someone posted several pictures of "Lure Autopsies". They sanded away half of some lures by laying them on their sides, on a bench sander, revealing the guts. Some interesting things to be seen. Has anyone else done this and will you share some pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaPala Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Another Rapala Cutout from ScottT is here: http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3738 The second post contains a link off-site of more (almost all older) Rapala cutouts. muskietom51: Waiting eagerly for your X-ray pics. Always curious about what inside lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 You have probably seen this LaPala...inside of Hughes River Glider. I understand, however, that HR doesn't weight all of them in this manner. Many of his baits have only 2 or 3 weights in them. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cullin8s Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 the xrays are really cool thats interesting , thank you for posting those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 muskietom...I am trying to figure out, does that tuffshad only have a weight at the hook eye? Why is the front eye screw so heavy looking? Does it have lead there too? Strange. I own a tough shad and it feels as tho the weight is at or very near the hook only. The phantoms feel about the same way when you hold them. Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 muskietom: Cool stuff man. Just curious, are those X-ray pics done on airport type X-ray machines or the medical type using negetive films? From the color I'd say the airport type; if so how do you get a hard copy; or you just photograph the monitor? Just gave me an idea... :idea: Next time I go thru the airport, I'd know what to include in my hand carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskietom51 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Riverman the first xray is the tuffshad with the bottom weight, got them out of order the one you download is the glide bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanks Tom.....assuming that is a tuffshad glide bait. And I agree with Skeeter, the x-rays are fun to look at! Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
