Having made my first soft plastic lure out of a mold I made from half a sloggo and half a swim senko I put it to the test this morning. Although not a big fish a bass toke the lure no problem. The tail on this lure really moving in the water

We had a further 3 bass the biggest being only about 3lbs. what can you expect on a very small tide with the water hardly moving.

Also caught must be the smallest gurnard caught on a lure

This fish was just bigger than the 3.5 inch black and yellow shad

We shall see what tomorrow brings

Spot on Alan!! I'm gathering lots of scrap plastics and hope to make some bits over winter. Got to be a good feeling catching on own made lures.

 

[Tim Murphy]

Great stuff Alan! I have a bag full of 'no faith' SPs I'm gonna do something useful with I hope!

 

[trev richardson]

Great stuff Alan...will have to pick your brains..have just started to make my own as well........:-D:-D

 

[alan aubert]

do not ask me trev I have been picking everyone elses brains

 

[trev richardson]

Maybe but you're obviously asking the right people the right questions mate........you have the evidence of that......;-);-)

 

[Tim Griffin]

Alan, I think you can be rightly chuffed with that result!

nice one alan, bet its a bit of added fun when you'v made it yourself

 

[alan aubert]

Yes its great just deciding what sort of lure to design next out again tomorrow so we shall see if they continue to work

 

[Carl B]

like the idea you had of combining multi lures into one alan, that could be endless, can just see the wifes face if i take the kitchen over in the winter!!!

 

[Mick Ward]

Frankenstiens monster worked then Alan, nice one matey, I can see you now in your laboratory with bubbling jugs of moulton latex all around as you laugh crazily!!!

 

[alan aubert]

Anybody with ideas of two different plastic lures working well together let me know I might give it a go, anyway off fishing now

 

[Dave Irving]

Alan,
Mie Ladel has been having alot of success with the front half of a sluggo (7.5") and the tail of a super sandra (16cm). Plenty of photo's of his catches with it on his website.

 

[Andy Marquis]

Good work Alan, it's satisfying eh!! And the best bit is that if you make a duff lure you can just chop them up and do it all again!!

P.S. I got the missus a new microwave today... The old one is now permanantly in my shed!!!
