homemade lures

[DanielJRioux]

This may not qualify for a lure but.... I lived in Panama City beach FL in the early 80's and loved to fish for bonita or blue fish as bait for shark fishing. Well bonita is a fast fish and we fished for them of the Saint andrews jetties and kept getting cut off by the rocks, very expensive on lures. One day I was in the shop and found a thick walled chrome pipe. I cut the pipe into 2inch pieces and used a vice to crip both ends. I put a barrel swivel on one end and a treble on the other after drilling small holes. They did not look like much but the bonita hit them hard and it did not cost me anything when I lost them. One time I even had a seagull snatch one. I brought him in and let him off the hook (pun intended) after getting bit a few times.[]
