    I have the sudden urge to make a few Bass bugs, making your own lures makes fishing even more satisfying, I agree!

    I have been searching for this for ages and your first image took me right back to when I was about 8 years old. My brother and i used to make my fathers lures just like that. Great times.

    Does anyone know the best way to create bait using bagworms? Is there a special way to get them out of the cocoon without squeezing them and cutting tip off? I seem to be squeezing too hard, or cutting the wrong way, can't seem to keep them alive and wiggling for the bait part of it. I just wanna get something for the trouble these nasty worms have caused in my trees!
    Thanks for any help on this!

    We Like to fish But have stepped up from lures to arrows as of late. Like your lens it was very informative

    I was just curious. Have you ever used a downrigger to go fishing? That is probably one of the biggest fishing tips I know - I find that it allows me to get my lure or bait down to the exact depth where the fish are and has improved my fishing results dramatically. I picked up a pretty cheap one at eMarine Supplies

    nice lens. I might try to use your tips and try to make my own lures.

    Great lens. I love to fish but don't take much time to make my own tackle.

    I really enjoyed this page, I am afraid I am a lazy angler. I tie line on a piece of Styrofoam, bait the hook, throw it out at night and check in the morning. Now I think I have caught all the dumb fish and only the smart ones are left.

    What a great hobby to share on a Squidoo lens and very well done. My Mom used to tie flies and I was fascinated with that. These would be so fun to paint. I would guess you are going to have folks trying their hand at making lures, a great gifint idea.

    Great lens. Thumbs up. My Pop make all his fishing flies! Been doing it for years. Caught 1000's of fish! Way to go!

    I like to fish but I never thought about making my own lures. Might have to try it.

    Making tackle seems like a great hobby. My husband and I have not done that, but we do make our own sinkers. Although I wouldn't call that a hobby. :)

    Nice lens!! Just getting into making my own lures, this is a nice help!
  • Obiewan Oct 21, 2009 @ 4:59 pm | delete
    I've made a few lures myself, and it can be very satisfying to catch on a homemade lure.
    Great lens 5*
    Drop by sometime.

    Fantastic lens. Hope to watch it develop. Used to be an avid sea-fisherman, both boat and shore, but haven't had the chance these past few years due to other commitments.

    I always made all my own rigs and sometimes lures - perhaps I should do a lens on similar!

    Used to love nothing more than standing on a freezing cold Scottish beach at 3am on a January morning, hoping for that big cod to bite and taking the occasional sip from the bottle of "tummy warmer."

    Ahhhh.....memories!

    Fantastic. 5* for the memories alone.

    Tight lines,
