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
Glad you enjoyed the show. I agree with you on the paint. I found when I made a killer topwater glider that worked great the fish would remove my paint job and continue to eat it just as well with no paint. I went to darkening the tops with a torch, leaving the rest wood colored and coating them with a thin coat of resin.
You might be surprised to hear I too caught my first cuda on a strip of material I tore from a towel at the motel I was staying at!
Goes to prove once again, a fish does not care what he is caught on!
thanks for the post.
best,
L
