Just had to post a note that I went out yesterday on a river south of town and hooked a nice fish (the one that got away, of course), and brought home a small 1# rainbow, both having hit one of the lures I made. I fished exslusively with lures I made, so it was a cool experience.
I learned to make lures entirely due to this board, with help from TD et al. I noticed that many of the spinners I made actually had a better action than those I have purchased in the past. I am certain this is due to using a lighter gauge wire, as suggested by Tube Dude.
Anyway, it was awesome to break the ice with my first catches. There is no way I could ever consider ever paying for factory made lures or jigs. And it is all because I stumbled on to this website. How cool is that?!?! [
