Looks very good

funny enough no,i havent we a lure for a while,it is a copy of a very early heddon lure from about 1930,and the pattern was a favorite of anglers for near 50years.

@ Fish

Looks very nice , bare wood like that , but why did you rig so many hooks ?
Would surely give you a headache netting your pike , as all of the vacant hooks would foul up with the net hopelessly

!

@ wabbiter

Not sure , whether I'm allowed to give a link to another British site here(I'm a newbie in here) , not to violate the site rules , ..... but I know a site providing a heap of links to UK and international suppliers for fishing related stuff , also lure components , of course !

Just shoot a PM , if you're interested !

links are fine here,ime not so insecure as to ban them!

i put so many hooks on as i was trying to emulate the old lures from heddon in the 1920's.

@ fish

OK , I see the point in your "historic" intentions , .......but more than once I've been swearing whilst netting pike on larger US-made crankbaits , which usually have three hooks ,... thus two vacant .

If you're unlucky and these catch up the net BEFORE the fish is in , you're into serious trouble(been there , done that)

.

The link , that I refered to , is www.lurefishinguk.com ,.... on the entry page there click the yellow/black striped lure symbol on the left for "links" , after another page opens up , ......guess , it's the top option to click to open up countless links to suppliers of fishing related stuff worldwide .

Cracking lure! Do any of you guys ever make lures like the Abu Kynocks or tomics? Id love to see anything like that for the type of trolling I do.

Thanks Rob

@ Monkeyboab

I have made very few lures like "Tomics" , wasn't too satisfied with their action for piking .

I am not familiar with the other lure , that you've mentioned , but I assume , that it might similar to a "Tomic" ,..... just the typical downrigger trolling plug for salmon with a plane or slightly cupped headplane ????

If you have a lathe , these are not that difficult to turn down , a disc sander takes care of the angled headplane , with a "Dremel" multitool you could furnish a cupping onto the headplane .

I have once made one like that for swapping ,.... that one even had the typical bore from center of head plane down to the belly to be able to rig the lure staight onto the mainline to prevent hook leverage .

You can carve these lures by hand as well from round wood dowels , but it takes care and some skills to keep it symetrically round all over it's length , ........but it definately does work , though takes considerably longer , off course !

I dont have a lathe to make them, the kynoch is similar in shape to the tomics but like you mentioned the mainline runs rite through it to avoid the leverage issue. They are basically like the salmon plugs for downrigging you said, J plugs for example. Would be good to see a pic of the one you made for swapping if you had it.

Thanks Rob

Sorry , I did not take a picture of that particular one before mailing it out already years ago !

But I will check into the endless depths of my storage boxes , wheter I could still find the other ones to take some snapshots .

Tomorrow ,.... must go to my lateshift work soon

Cheerio , diemai
