Newt asked me once whether I make lures.
Yes,I do, and if you'd like to make your own for jerk fishing for perch from a boat,embankment or ice (if any ), just take a piece of copper (brass, bronze) rod ( L/dia ratio=6:1) and follow my illustrations here

Zdravstvuite Nodin. The link doesnt seem to work. Pictures are not showing.

Nodin - the pictures evidently never got uploaded to the web site. I checked the location on one of them and it showed as file:///D|/users/odin/sit/L3.jpg which indicates it never got copied from your PC to the internet.

You will see the pictures when you look since the link points back to your PC and they are there.

I would love to see them so if you have trouble getting them posted there, you can feel free to upload them to http://www.go-fishing.org/upload/ (the picture site for this forum) and display them from there.

I'd quite like to see that too.

Home-made lure

Thanks a lot for help!

I am just learning

That looks like a nice vertical jigging lure. Very cleverly made. I see you've attached a red attractor to the hook.

Nodin, what are the tackle shops like in Russia and is it possible to get british and american tackle. ?

Hi, argyll !
In Moscow and several other big cities of Russia there are representatives of Maver, Milo, Trabucco, Mikado, Sensas and others. In my home city of Yaroslavl (on the Volga) there are a dozen of retail shops that bring tackle wholesale in Moscow. Fishing line comes mostly from Germany, hooks are Mustad and Owner made, reels are from Shimano and China. Equipment and tackle for pole-fishing can be ordered from the West via Moscow companies. But it came to be like this only a couple of years ago.
Regards,

Outstanding lures Nicholai and great pictures on how you make them.

When you say you are 'just learning', I hope you mean about posting the pictures because it seems that you have the lure making well under control.

Have you followed any of the discussions here about using circle hooks for lures? I'm thinking that one of the red circle hooks attached by a split ring might be fun to try for one of your jigs.

Something like argyll did with this lure



only with a red version similar to this one

Newt, I'm learning all my life (for 53 years already )
Yesterday, for example, I've leant, that laying my lure on the bottom for a couple of minutes will give the pearch time to think over its first "unfortunate" attack and be on hook at the second.
I,d really like to read the thread about circle hooks and see how my lure will play, in the bass, for the start. By the way, I've leant recently, that contrary to the pike that siezes the minnow, the pearch comes close and,using its gills to suck the minnow in. For this reason, the say, its preferable to use suspended on split ring hooks with wool or threads, that easily gets into predator's mouth at this suck-in.
