nothing to do so i got vice out and made a few lures on rapala trebles.thought id fish them on a short (12inch) fluro leader.by using korda flying back leads i can change the weight as im fishing depending if i want to get down deeper faster.they should cast ok with a ultralite rod.what do people think.heres some pics

just tied

drying on the wheel after adding the epoxy

with the back lead up against the lure,id hold it there with power gum stop knot

and here away from the lure held again with a stop knot

the flying back leads with to two sizes of weights

this is the lures wet

id make different styles ie flatwings ect it these worked.im sure small pollock and mackerel would go at them

They will catch fish no problem.
dress some jigheads too.

The Japanese LRF and US Crappie men are big into dressed jigs.

id thought of doing some jig heads,ill give that a go

2 - 10 gram range will be the most useful.

Peter,
Very bad idea mate.......... Infact they are so bad i think you should post them to me the first thing Tuesday morning......

Top Job.

Great looking lures guys. My respect to you.

I'd thought of fly tieing some jig heads a little while ago after looking at some saltwater flies and ultralight lures. And I thought that I had come up with a new idea....doh!!

There are so many possibilities with this LRF/MRF/HRF...I love it.

Have you had any luck on them?

Tony.
