Gonna try and knock a few out this afternoon using "hair pins" as the point guard. Lets see if it will work. Got some tying thread,superglue and a can of Miller for inspiration! If they do work will use them for my "lure" construction.
Anyone else out there tried to make one and if so what was the technique and final result? --------------------  You design it and I'll tie it for you For more lure information see http://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm Fishing digs on the Mull of Galloway - recommend http://www.clashwhannon.co.uk Its nice to be nice I never drink water, fish make love in it! |

I buy mine
  The wire used to shield the hook is actually a loop that clips to the point. Tight Lines - leon [ 24. December 2004, 05:00 PM: Message edited by: Leon Roskilly ] -------------------- |

I think the ones in Leon's picture are
 If so, you can certainly get them for not a lot of money. .staminainc.com/hooks/eagleclaw/...ess_sproat.html -------------------- "Democracy dies when the people wanting their government to take care of them outnumber those wanting to take care of themselves." - Author Unknown - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For a selection of lures, reels and other items, visit my eBay shop http://stores.ebay.com/JaNewt-eMart |

Cheers chaps,lets see how tugmistress gets on with my home made efforts! Bet she finishes up cutting off the protectors though. The main thing is she will catch fish - luxury!
So if she is test pilot and she gets a result does that mean she has earned her official "wings" from the forum? -------------------- You design it and I'll tie it for you For more lure information see http://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm Fishing digs on the Mull of Galloway - recommend http://www.clashwhannon.co.uk Its nice to be nice I never drink water, fish make love in it! |

Yes I know I can hear you saying "why bother trying to make them when you can buy them" answer
The challenge Could be an improvement on commercial gear? Job satisfaction Sheer lunacy! Lets see what tugmistress posts up. Public humiliation,no probs to me. Just grab life and go for it."Was that Snatcher zooming past in the fast lane?" Oh think santa has just come down our chimney - or could be pidgeon droppings! -------------------- You design it and I'll tie it for you For more lure information see http://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm Fishing digs on the Mull of Galloway - recommend http://www.clashwhannon.co.uk Its nice to be nice I never drink water, fish make love in it! |

I will be posting the results, whatever they are
 thought of a couple of different venues dependant on the sea state, have a safe venue for high swell from any direction except n/w, and a venue for flat calm (i'm hoping at this time of year ) going to catch up on the alcohol front now as just got in from doing our last radio broadcast of the year so excuse spelling and drivvle shortly

Rock on bitch and and Merry Xmas to the whole family. And by the way Paula the lures work but the hook protectors might not,maybe a bit too springy!
Never been an orthodox sort of guy - luxury"does my wife know how lucky she is.sharing my bed for 33 years" Come on girl I need a truthful experiment for all to see. ps Merry Xmas again x -------------------- You design it and I'll tie it for you For more lure information see http://www.alba-rods.co.uk/page2.htm Fishing digs on the Mull of Galloway - recommend http://www.clashwhannon.co.uk Its nice to be nice I never drink water, fish make love in it! |
