History

[69bbqs]

Good Morning Folks, Say L show last week on the history of lure making, how cool was that. The part of the tree ie. con hard (center of the tree) will be more dess making the action tighter. I my self tend to use hard woods Oak, Teak, & Iron Wood, adding BB where needed. I also never paint my top water because I get the same amount of strikes at painted lures. The Cow girl, what a story.

I also make cuda lures out of white rags when I was a kid fishing off the coast of Borneo. Try it on your next trip. It's still being used today.

Thanks again, V

hi v
thanks for the post, glad you enjoyed the episode.
I agree with you on the paint. Most of the time I just leave them wood colored and hit them with a hard coat of clear coat. If I'm getting fancy I might darken the top with a torch before the clear coat.
I too caught my first cuda on a white rag. (actually it was a strip torn from a towel I swiped from the motel we were staying at!
Guess it proves once again, a fish does not care what he is caught on!
best,
L
