| Lures, Lure Building, & Fly Tying If you use it to catch fish (or at least try), then this is the place for that. If you actually make them, then we really want to hear about your styles and successes. |
What have you got to say about the topic of: "A couple of needles made from something different.". Here's how is started: "i like the pearl popper. very nice paint jobs and those scales are fantastic. what "

Thanks but I'm actually not very happy with the Peanut swimmers. They cast great but they roll too much on the retrieve plus most stop swimming at anything over a moderately slow retrieve. That was the first batch and I used different lips and weighting and none really was a home run. Back to the drawing board on those, I think the nose has to be rounder. | |||

Is that allowed here? I haven't tested those yet and wouldn't consider selling anything that wasn't tested thoroughly first. If after I get out with my testers and get the OK from them I'll get back to you. | |||

I use the same stuff everyone else uses, tulle (sp?). The way I do it is different though and at first I thought I screwed up but everyone that saw them loved them and told me to "Keep screwing up!" so that's the way I do it now. | |||

| I made some thinner ones and included an A-Salt bomber in the pics to help gauge size. The next ones I make will be white but be the same type of material.   | ||

Did you try bending the eye up and lip up just a little that might decrease the roll. If not you can move you weight foward, that's helped me with some lures. Armand | |||

I tried bending the eye and lip but even though I could get it to do some things well I still couldn't get it to do all things well which was my goal. I think my larger ones spoiled me, they do almost everything pretty well.  | |||
